The first Jeepers Creeps was the first true campy horror film in a long time to surprise me. I thought it was great for what is was. Seriously guys… go grab it for a “date” DVD night sometime… she’ll be squeezing you all night, and it’s a pretty fun flick too. So obviously I was excited to hear about Jeepers Creepers 2. Oh man… what a let down that was. Not only was it pure puke, but it almost ruined my enjoyment of the first one (which I rented 2 days later to watch again.
So now we have news that a Jeepers Creepers 3 is in the works. Monsters and Critics give us this:
Jonathan Breck, star of the first two Jeepers movies, told Web site Horror View that “Jeepers Creepers 3” will begin filming this summer with a possible 2006 release. Mr. Breck also said that, although there is no script in place, the story has this film taking place twenty one years after the events of “Jeepers Creepers 2,”
Oh no… this just tells you everything you need to know folks. They’ve already got the shooting date planned… but they still don’t have a script. Recipe for disaster. Once again Hollywood couldn’t leave a good thing alone… so now they’re going to beat it to death.
