I'll admit it, I'm a fan of the Jeepers Creepers movies. Yes, I'm aware of the controversy surrounding the director Victor Salva. He's a scumbag sure, but I still enjoy his movies.

I have been looking forward to part 3 of the Creeper movies for a very long time, and now I hear that it's playing in theaters for one night only (which is scheduled for tonight September 26th) due to people threatening to protest the movie. So sick of people ruining things.

Does knowing a director has a history like this stop you from viewing their movies? Also does anyone know if this will be available anywhere else to watch after tonight?

That's pretty stupid that its run is so limited. At least it's getting a run at all though. I honestly forgot this movie was a thing.

I've only seen the first, and it has its moments, but I'm not crazy about it. I think some of the ideas are pretty neat, and I love the use of that old-timey jingle, but I think the reveal of the creeper ruins it. You know, that whole the less you see is more, yada yada...

Part 3 will be streaming in no time then. I might catch up on the series for the next challenge.

I try not to let a director's (or actor's) crimes, politics, etc. stand in the way of my personal enjoyment of a movie. In Salva's case, I'm not a big fan of Jeepers Creepers, yet I enjoy Clownhouse, the very movie he was working on when he got busted. It doesn't justify Salva's crimes, but the movie fan part of my mind doesn't care. The same goes for someone like Polanski. I only wonder if every person protesting Salva would be as willing to protest Polanski if he had a new movie coming to theaters.

I like the first movie. Don't care for the sequel, although I like the ending, getting there is a slog. I completely forgot hearing something about 3 being in the works.

I don't let entertainers' scandals stop me from watching their work. That said, I've never seen Clownhouse and have no plans to seek it out.

But I still watch my copies of Rosemary'd Baby and "The Bill Cosby Show". The latter aired in 1969, no laugh track and is really funny. The epis where he tries to teache a nervous student to drive, and especially the one where Moms Mabley and Mantan Moreland play his bickering, fussing aunt & uncle is fucking hilarious; "Lover's Quarrel", seriously try to see it! emoticon
The theme song "Hickey Burr" is something else too.
I got the 1st season 4 disc set for $3 at Buybacks about a year before he was accused of being a ol' dirty bastard.

"Thriller" is a masterpiece of music video/mini movie storytelling and great makeup fx. But MJ was a sick fuck and I don't buy the stuff about him never growing up child like innocence. Just look at how he mutilated himself. With his fame, fortune and original looks he could have had more tang than Wilt Chamberlin. Instead he's holding slumber parties with kids and serving them Jesus Juice. And the paintings he had done..emoticon

As JohnLindsey289 used to say about this subject in out of the blue posts 2 or 3 times a month, unless he was on about unconventional vampires, wendigos and revenants, Jill sandwiches, jacking off to Thundercats and Heathcliff cartoons and all fuck else..."I don't like to think. aboutheir personal lives"

He always threw Pee Wee Herman in the mix of pre-verts though and this peeved me. Pee Wee did not hurt anybody playing with his todger in a darkened adult theater. emoticon...although I always thought there was something hinky about him because not one damn episode of "Pee Wee's Playhouse" went by that he did not sit right on Chairy's face and do his giggle. emoticon

one night only? jeez, with a little press they could really spin this.

i liked the first Jeepers Creepers well enough but never bothered with the second. i thought the spooky truck was cool. i'll probably watch them all in sequence once this one is widely available.

films are incapable of committing crimes.

Where were all these protesters when the first two movies came out? I understand this was public knowledge at the time, but I was unaware of it when I saw them not long after they came out. I thought they were okay, nothing special, and I never bothered to revisit them. I did watch Clownhouse recently after I already knew of Salva's crimes, and it did make me uneasy. It was kind of hard to enjoy, especially knowing that the film's star was his victim.

Yeah. It's one thing to watch a movie made by someone like Roman Polanski. It's another to watch a movie starring someone who was abused while it was made. Don't need that constant reminder that the director did what he did.

idiots jumping on bandwagons, where were they for the opening of other Salva fillms? like Znep said its been common knowledge for years. guess people have the right to protest but just dont watch the film, dont try to spoil someone's work. dont get me wrong i'm not condoning his previous behaviour, as you say he's a scumbag, but one who's paid for his crime in the eyes of the law at least. unlike Polanski, who's made some great movies.

there is a chance it was always only going to get a one night release and they spun the protest story to gain publicity /notoriety for the film. sometimes they deliberately have an 'open' press screening so they can officially say the film had a theatrical release, maybe not the case here if they planned a longer run than one night.

anyway, Jeepers Creepers, fairly original premise well executed i thought. i like Justin Long too, sure he wont win any acting awards but he seems like a cool guy to go for a beer with. The music's good too. Don't remember much about 2 aside from a bus load of college footballers get stuck or breakdown or something. need to watch em both again ahead of 3, which you'd think will get some kind of online or dvd release

They might be showing it for at least one more day, on Oct 4. At least in Massachusetts. It might vary state by state, I guess.

I just saw this tonight (Oct. 4) in Boston. I have mixed feelings about it... it reminded me of Pumpkinhead at times, so, that's a good thing. And, I personally thought most of the actors did a perfectly solid job, so, that's respectable.

But, I feel like it was just half a movie. Or, some fraction of a movie. It was clearly setting up another sequel. I don't know how much I should say here, in case anyone would prfer not to have spoilers... I'll just say that they REALLY left the audience hanging in some ways.

I would say that I'm glad I saw it, which puts me at odds with most of the reviwers I have seen on YouTube. But, I agree with some of those reviewers about some things. Like, too much of the movie happened in broad daylight. A little of that is OK, but the creepiness of horror movies is always enhanced by darkness, of course.

I could say more about it, but I forget how to hide spoilers here. Can someone remind me?? I'll say more if anyone wants to hear my thoughts.
