Jeepers Creepers History Part 1: How the Creeper found his truck. What did the Creeper, from Jeepers Creepers, do when he saw his truck for the first time? Actually, in this video, we explore ideas about the Creeper, and how he found his truck. In this speculation video, we will figure out parts of the Creeper's history by process of elimination and common-sense judgements about what his choices might be. This is the original, screen-used truck, and has been restored to the condition it was in, when it was used in Jeepers Creepers. But it is better. It is now fast, and no longer just a prop. It looks and runs like it's movie character. This is what made the creeper love this truck so much.
THANK YOU to ‪@michaelbenitez539‬ for suggesting this content. We are glad you asked for this, and we had fun putting it together. Hopefully you are as pleased with it as we are!

Every now and then you run into an unexpected treat on the internet. 13 year old me was obsessed with Jeepers Creepers when we ordered it on ppv from DirecTv in the early 2000s. To this dy the 1st movie is the only film to ever scare me enough to force the dog to sleep in my bedroom lol. Never thought I'd see an entire KZfaq channel dedicated to creeper lore.

Thank you so much. We are glad that you enjoy the channel. We are just a few days Away from discussing a community inspired interview with Jonathan Breck. We’d like to extend a personal invitation to take part in it. Watch for our next video which will probably land on Friday. Just out of curiosity, what was the scariest part of jeepers creepers for you?

Another speculation I have is judging by the greenish/rusted brown color, the Creeper’s struck could have been a AT&T/Bell System truck since they were a dark green color in the 1940’s to 1960’s, a truck like that would have been perfect for transporting telephone equipment etc.

@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truck 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely! That is a good thought. The only contention to that might be the lack of cubby spots. I saw an old GMC actual military communications vehicle. It was full of little doors and places to put phone parts. It I agree with you that is a good choice. I have something cool that I will share that shows what this truck might have looked like new. It’ll be out soon.

@@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truck if it was a AT&T/Bell System telephone truck in the 1940’s (hypothetically), more than likely was used to transport boxes of telephone equipment from one distributor to another, usually was done like that since they wouldn’t have had to rely on outside shipping companies. More than likely would have had the Stovebolt 6 cylinder in it back in the 1940’s, Chevrolet didn’t introduce their own V8 until 1955. Not sure what happened to the 1960 Chevy Impala that was used in the movie, more than likely is in the hands of a private collector somewhere.

I'm always overthinking things - lol - but I like your theories. The question I would have is what happened at the end of Creepers 2.

@justplayingrecords4664 8 ай бұрын

@@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truck I agree, your theory of him just not eating for the 23 year period but staying active explains a lot. The only exception is the end of Creepers 2. We know he has been in that barn for 23 years, hanging there, and there is just a few days before he returns. Something he didn't plan on? I don't know if I would call that hibernation anyway since he is thin and decaying. But then we are talking of something other worldly.

Very interesting theory 🤔. I love those movies and. The Creeper is my favorite movie monster. I have had theories about him. But I never thought about what you pointed out. I just assumed he would go into hibernation when his time was up. I never thought about the possibility. That he was awake but couldn't do anything until his 23 years of hibernation was up. But has you pointed out he might not be sleeping. This has given me a lot to think about. Thanks for the interesting video about the Creeper.

These trucks where flatbed as the standard, but you can have them configured into just about anything, My great gramps had one in the 40's that he had wooden sides and a metal tailgate and a lumber floor added to so he could have my gramps haul produce from their farm to the market.

@boa2143658709 14 күн бұрын

So we can infer he most likely lives those 23 years in an abandoned mine somewhere, it would give him ample space to work and store the truck as well as hide things he doesn't want seen.

This is what we think. And keep in mind we’re dealing with pretty powerful forces of some kind. So the cavern would not necessarily need to be man-made and abandoned. It could be created by the Creeper or by whatever entity controls him.

@@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truckthat is true he's been around for a very long time he could've just found a natural cavern or or one was created to suit him. I think he mainly used the church as an outpost of sorts. Being it takes place in Florida I'd say his main home is in the Everglades somewhere which could account for some of the water damage to the truck.

@@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truck I'm not so sure it's actually underground though, it's rust looks more like surface rust from sitting in a field, if it were underground there should be more pitting and I wouldn't expect to see as much paint as clearly but I would say the truck actually looks to be very minimal rust for a 60 year old truck at the time. Then again I'm from Ohio and we already have rotted 2023 cars so different climate different rust patterns.

@The_Jeepers_Creepers_Truck 14 күн бұрын

Well if it were underground it wouldn’t be buried. It would be in the cavern. So it would likely have some moisture but maybe not pitting. But we always imagined it was underground because of the vertical water streaks down the sides. Sorta looks like water could almost drip on it in certain places over time.

We appreciate this comment. And the headpiece idea is interesting. And we get some people don’t like the truck having traps. But it makes perfect sense. It wields the Creeper which is the point. We’d love to make our own vehicle with a bunch of weapons on it. Why wouldn’t a super villain like all of the super villains before him, given the resources and time, not put weapons and traps on his vehicle? Let alone the fear it can generate.
