Twitter users point out it's the 23rd spring since Jeepers Creepers came out; Creeper returns?

[likeanunmadebed]

This would’ve been a good time to release another ‘Jeepers Creepers’, seeing as he comes every 23 years and feeds for 23 days.

…this spring will be the 23rd year, since the movie was originally released.

the director of the first two movies is a convicted pedophile, why carry on his legacy with a third one even if they get a different director

[varioussaints]

they already made a third, it came out in 2017.

[chexlemeneux]

omg he directed the third one too I totally forgot about that

[theleveebroke]

The first 3 sadly. They let him come back for the 3rd installment in 2017 🤢

[varioussaints]

I never saw the original but the comments thus far have been illuminating.

hope the director dies painfully.

can i tell a story about jeepers whereabouts (forewarning i know next to nothing about the actual character lmfao)

one time i was on a roadtrp with my mom and uncle and we were at the corner of oregon on the border of idaho and we stopped at like 1 am to get gas at this super creepy gas station and the older man pumping our gas there was deaf (or just completely ignored my mom/the bug when she said he had a bug on his face) and my uncle and i got out of the car to stretch and we were in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a junkyard across the street and my uncle said "jeepers creepers is going to come out" and FREAKED me out and ever since then i think jeepers creepers is in that junkyard

Omfg I grew in southern Appalachia and my mammaw (RIP you crazy old goat) lived in a house with huge, sprawling hillside woods behind it. She used to scare tf out of me with stories about "boogers and haints" that would come out at night and peck on the windows to see if I was sleeping and would get me if I was awake.

She stopped the scary stories after she woke me up one night when she saw I was asleep face-down in my pillow with my arms wrapped around my face lmao

Since we're telling horror movie tales. I was driving in BC with my friend and a logging truck had lost its logs. They were all over the road. I was like FFS speed up and let's pass him! Thinking "Final Destination nope nope nope."

[myhipusername]

Omg now THAT is terrifying! I hope nobody got hurt!

I laugh when I think about that junkyard story bc it was all so creepy! It was dark and silent except a few bug noises, and the worker did not acknowledge us at all except for the payment so that was the cherry on top for a scary movie scene lol

[peddlestools]

I mean, maybe because a convicted pedophile was behind the franchise

we should have known something was up with rose McGowan when she defended him

[pepsi_twist9]

She did what? Man, I remember when I was on her side without following her and then the more she talked the more I shriveled up in despair

[automaticpeople]

I’m not American, so can someone explain why the director is allowed to work with kids? Not only was he convicted of molesting a child, I’m pretty sure he did it on his set. He shouldn’t be allowed to work with kids, but I remember one being in the sequel.
