Jeepers Creepers : One of the scariest scenes ever
Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
OP is bang on. That is the one and only scene that frightens me in this film. The film is great but I don't think of it as scary as such but that one scene where he just turns and stares at them with the hat and the coat is spine tingling.

Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
You could compare it to a million different films...I thought the Jeepers Creepers scene was eerier.
Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
It is one of the scariest scenes in any horror film from recent memory. My father took me to see this movie in theaters when I was in middle school, and I distinctly remember him saying "That first scene was the scariest damn thing I've ever seen, but the rest of it wasn't at all."
This has probably been brought up before, but many have speculated that the scene was inspired by the 1990 murder of Marilyn DePue. Her husband, Dennis, murdered her, and loaded her body into his van and went out on backroads to find a place to dispose of her. On the road, he passed a couple who were on a leisure drive, and sped ahead of them. A few minutes later, the couple came up to an abandoned schoolhouse; as they passed by, they saw his van parked behind the building, and saw him carrying a blood-soaked sheet.
DePue then got in his van and followed them bumper-to-bumper for several miles. They turned off the highway, and went back to follow him, but he had pulled over and was removing his license plates; the wife saw the passenger door was covered in blood. Just like in Jeepers Creepers, the couple went back to the schoolhouse to investigate, and found the bloody sheet, and then fled to go call police.
There was an Unsolved Mysteries segment on it back in 1991, and I think it's indisputable that Salva based the scene on this—in the segment, they interviewed the couple, and they said they would take people's license plates and try to make words or phrases out of them. When DePue passed them on the road, they noted the first letters of his plates as being "GZ," and the wife said something like "GeeZe, he must be in a hurry."

Has anyone noticed in that scene that the Creeper quick nods his head when he stares at Trish and Darry ?
Yes a really creepy and good scene.

Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
Well, of course, he is going to stop and look at them. He is doing something obviously creepy and weird in the bright light of day and sees these random strangers passing by slowly and looking at him. I'm just curious as to why he was only trying to run them off the road and was not seriously trying to kill them. But I guess by then he was either toying with them for fun and probably sensed one of them in the car had "something he wanted."
Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
The scene when the Creeper tries to run them down perfectly set the tone of the film. It's horrifying, adrenaline pumping, terror. It's magnificently done since the audience sees the truck coming at them long before they do. It just closer and closer, and then BAM! That horn blasts, and the nightmare begins. I love it.
So many stories, so little time.

Re: One of the scariest scenes ever
but how they were on the walls and stuff that was creepy
crime happens in the morning not at night
Depends on the feeling
didnt like the dead bodies on the wall they looked so fake and if they were on the wall your body would fall apart
Unless it was preserved the body in reality would get juicy there acids in the stomach would build up, the ordifices would leak fluids, the skin would sag and fall off, everything would decay, the body itself would get brown
Unless the Creeper preserved the bodies in liqued like embalming fluids.
when she ran him over why didnt they go back into the house get an axe or sharp implement and chop his head off? Then take the head and burn it?
YEP but Jeepers Creepers is a movie and needs to make it look more scary or sensalizated
Look like Tarzan talk like Jane! HAHA
