Line #13 WMG/JeepersCreepers


1	[[WMG: The Creeper rode a horse before he got his BEATNGU]]
2	If he has been around for as long as he has, vehicles wouldn't have existed for as long as him. So, if he did live in the Wild West, he had to have ridden a horse.
3	* Or he might drive a wagon, if no horse could stand having a creature like that sit on its back.
4	* Or he just flew everywhere. Fast as he flies in the second film, he could certainly out-race a horse; he's only have needed wheels once his prey started driving so fast that he couldn't keep up.
5	* Or if his wings are more recent then he used to simply hide out in the wild and ambush wanderers rather than actively hunting down prey.
6	* Perhaps he used to be [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow the original]] HeadlessHorseman, and Ichabod's head was his replacement.
7
8	[[WMG: The up and coming movie Jeepers Creepers 3 will have a bitter sweet ending.]]
9	Because of all things it doesn't want to be clich'e and end up with a [[TearJerker heartbreaking mind scar]] or with some crappy fairy tale ending where everyone is O.K at the end, like most early horror movies.
10	* [[spoiler: '''Confirmed''' that there's at least a dash of sweet in the ending - both Addie and Buddy survive - but a ''lot'' of people die and the survivors are definitely not getting over it soon. Buddy is implied to have only escaped a subsequent death in ''2'' because he stayed over with relatives after the game, yet he'll have to live with the further trauma of knowing the Creeper was probably hunting ''him'' when it attacked the school bus.]]
11
12	[[WMG: Trish will go all MamaBear in the third movie]]
13	We already know she has a protective side when she begs the Creeper to [[spoiler: take her instead of Darry]] in the first movie. She also has a son and she's dead set on killing the Creeper! It's the ''perfect'' set-up!
14	* Talk about foresight.
15
16	[[WMG: This film takes place just before the events of the show ''Series/{{Revolution}}''.]]
17	When you think about it, the Creeper has existed for a long time. Long before electricity came to be harnessed by humans. When the worldwide blackout occurs, the Creeper will likely consider it a mild annoyance. For travelling, it would have to rely on teleporting off-screen...or creating a steam-powered vehicle. That thing is more intelligent than it appears to be, so it could think up ways to travel.
18
19	[[WMG: The Creeper became what he is because of magic/voodoo]]
20	Much like [[spoiler: Mordu]] from Brave, the Creeper wanted something, and so he went to a witch/voodoo person/magic person that granted his wish. And eventually, as he stayed in his new form, his human mind became lost to the creature he had become.
21	* Alternatively, but similarly, he may have succeeded at prolonging his life of his own accord, what with the various alchemical elements visible in his lair during the first movie. It would tie into [[ImmortalityImmorality another trope]], though it wouldn't explain why he's only "allowed" to eat once every 23 years.
22	** Generally all powers gained by the bad guys are usually PowerAtAPrice, The Creeper gains all these abilites at the cost of his mutated body forcing him to only be able to be awake for 23 days every 23 years.
23
24	[[WMG: Trish will kill the Creeper by crushing him]]
25	Kind of related to the above theory. Like what [[spoiler: Elinor did to Mordu]] in Brave, Trish will figure out that a good way to kill/trap/incapacitate the Creeper would be to crush him with a large rock or something.
26
27	[[WMG: The Creeper is one of the Gargoyles]]
28	Not the ones from the 90s cartoon, of course (at least... probably not) but the ones from the '72 straight-to-TV horror film. In fact, since one of them becomes a roadside attraction in the film, maybe both films take place in the same universe. Presumably whoever wrote down the lore got "26 years" mixed up with "600 years" when writing down the details of the hibernation cycle, somehow.
29
30	[[WMG: The Creeper is psychically linked to its victims' remains as well as their ghosts.]]
31	Kenny's ghost from the third film tells his mother that he's a part of the creature and vice versa, so he can sense some of its intentions. The Creeper's throwing stars explicitly incorporate parts of its victims, and its spears seem to end in blades mounted on hafts of etched bone. If it can psychically perceive whatever touches the remains of its victims, [[spoiler: the same way that people who touch its old hand can perceive something it'd rather keep hidden]], then the Creeper may use their flesh and bones to craft weaponry so that it can easily trace victims who flee with a throwing star or spear embedded in their bodies, as well as locate any weapon that falls into humans' hands. Likewise, it "decorates" its lair with corpses to serve as a grotesque security system that can detect intruders.
32	* [[spoiler: The fact that the "[=BEATNGU=]" van can drive itself while the Creeper is perched on its roof, and even target a snooper with its harpoon-gun when the creature isn't present, implies the ''van'', also, may be psychically linked to the Creeper ... and hence, partially crafted from human remains. Skin upholstery? Arteries for fuel lines? Rendered human fat for motor oil? Many grisly possibilities there...]]

34	[[WMG: The Creeper is a Berbalang.]]
