Summary
The original ending of Jeepers Creepers was supposed to continue far beyond the police station. At Days of the Dead Indianapolis, original Creeper actor Jonathan Breck and creature effects artist Brian Penikas reveal the massive 15-minute climax the production could not afford to film, including a battle atop the Creeper's truck and an oncoming train. They also share behind-the-scenes stories about: • The disturbing "puppet coach" sequence cut from Jeepers Creepers 2 • Why Jonathan Breck shaved his head before his audition • How the Creeper's face, body and weapons were designed • The real human tooth hidden inside one of his throwing stars • Why Justin Long was the first and last actor filmed in Creeper makeup • How Jaws and Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat influenced the first two films Recorded live at Days of the Dead Indianapolis and hosted by Griffey of Misfit Parade and the Messed Up Movies Podcast.
