It was the first film in the Jeepers Creepers film series. It was a commercial success, despite mixed reviews, and grossed $59 million on a $10 million budget. The film was theatrically released by United Artists and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on August 31, 2001. Filming took place for two months in Florida in Ocala, Dunnellon, Reddick, and Lake Panasoffkee. Due to severe budget cuts, the third act of the project was rewritten during production.

Produced by American Zoetrope and the German companies Cinerenta-Cinebeta and Cinerenta Medienbeteiligungs KG, Jeepers Creepers began production in August 2000 after Salva convinced the studios to cast Philips and Long with the help of executive producer Francis Ford Coppola. Patricia Belcher and Eileen Brennan also appear in supporting roles, with Salva making a cameo appearance. The film takes its name from the 1938 song of the same name, which is featured in the film under a version by Paul Whiteman.

It stars Gina Philips and Justin Long as Trish and Darry Jenner, two siblings in college who are pursued by the Creeper, a demonic serial killer portrayed by Jonathan Breck. I have been designing costumes for about 41 years now.Jeepers Creepers is a 2001 horror film written and directed by Victor Salva. I grew up on horror movies and I started making Jason and Myers costumes in the early 80’s as a kid, and now today I design costumes for people worldwide! I have done more Jasons than any other costume so far, as he was always my favorite overall. I specialize in Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Madman Marz, Jeepers Creepers, Terminator, Leatherface, and many more! I have been featured on DVDS and the official F13th website several times now.

My name is Brad from Sirbrad FX, and I design costumes and movie quality life-sized figures of horror icons. I also made latex ones as well This Jeepers Creepers Costume was a lot of work but well worth it in the end! I plan on doing another even more realistic version with huge wings and feet soon! You can see tons more pics on my Facebook page and tons of videos on my YouTube channel. I then made some eye inserts by gluing some half doll type eyes to some pieces of cardboard, and then taped them inside. I also added white crepe hair to the back and on the talons on the face to give him a beard. I then painted the nails black, and used some gloss to give the hands a wet look. I also made a pair of hands out of a cheap pair of demon hands that were white, I painted them dark gray with black highlights in shadowy areas. I also bought a black scarecrow with glowing red eyes to place on the Creeper to make it look even more scary. I bought two 6 foot boards from Lowe’s to make a scarecrow cross, as well as some screws and twine, to simulate the opening scene in Jeepers Creepers 2. I did the same on the hat and added bullet holes through the front and back of the hat. I then used some khaki beige paints to simulate dirty mud and lighten up the duster and black pants, as well as on the boots. I also did a ton of fraying, tattering, sanding, and added several layers of paints for all the dirt and grime.

I then began weathering the shirt with dark blacks and browns, as well as some deep reds for blood etc. After that I did the same thing to the duster. I tried to replicate the movie as much as possible.

I began making the under shirt which was brown, and cutting it up with various tools, knives, scissors, wire brushes etc. I bought an official mask and real felt hat for it, then bought a brand new western duster and some black leather gloves. I never could find any for sale and never seen any good ones made, so I decided to make it happen myself. I always wanted to have a Jeepers Creepers costume, and a life-sized display for the house.
