Just a quick thought here. I am watching Halloween H20 right now, and I'm wondering if the Jeepers Creepers writers and production people stole the idea for the Creeper's truck from H:H20. In H:H20, MM steals two vehicles. First, a regular car, from the nurse from the original H movie, who he kills in the first few minutes in the 1998 movie. Second, he steals an old... I don't know what to call it, an old farm truck maybe? The vehicle he steals from the cute 90s mom and her little girl, who are forced to use the men's room at that rest stop. It's a very old, sort of crude looking vehicle... maybe from the 1940s, or even the 1930s. It doesn't even make much sense in H:H20, to have him drive such an unusual vehicle when he should just be trying to blend in as much as possible. But, I guess the intent was to put MM in a vehicle that seemed spooky or creepy enough to match his style.

Anyway, Jeepers Creepers was filmed just a couple of years later, and the Creeper's truck looked a bit like the truck I've been talking about. Maybe they borrowed/stole that idea. They clearly borrowed/stole the idea of the Creeper sleeping for 23 years from cicadas, or from the Ray Bradbury story The Burning Man.

Anyway. Whatevs. Had to share.
