Every generation has their own horror icon – the 70s had Leatherface, Freddy Krueger gave the 80s generation nightmares and Ghostface had 90s kids Screaming.

But for Gen Z, the early 00s were haunted by Jeepers Creepers main antagonist, the man-eating demon, The Creeper, an ancient, mysterious demon, who seeks organs from humans to replace its own old or damaged ones.

Its mythology sees The Creeper hunt for 23 days every 23rd spring, by scaring its victims and using the scent of fear to determine what it needs to feed on.

And now, over two decades after the original terrified audiences across the globe, he is ready to eat again as a critically acclaimed fourth film in the franchise gets ready for its cinematic release.
