I just saw on [moviefone.com](http://moviefone.com) that there is going to be a Jeepers Creepers 2. I must say I am quite surprised, since I thought the first did pretty poorly at the box office. Maybe I am mistaken. I was very disappointed with the first one because I thought it had so much potential (to at least be a good B movie). I liked the main actors/characters and I thought the villain was pretty cool and the movie did a good job of building suspense. Could have been pretty good. But the last 30 minutes or so just sucked.
So now we get part 2. Any thoughts?

Your surprised? The ending was set up specifically for a sequel. It was obviously left open, without the usual tying up of ends and whatnot.

According to trusty old Imdb, the film cost $10 million to make and earned $15.8 its opening weekend.

And this, people, is why they make movies like ‘Dude, where’s my car?’.
10 million dollars! I could make a movie 100 times better with $10 million. Just give me the cash and I’ll prove it. 😉

I could make a movie 100 times better with $10,000. Hell, I _have_ made a movie 100 times better with NOTHING. Lemme tell you about our magnum opus, _Attack of the Uberpimps: A Dance Extravaganza_…

Wasn’t the director of Jeepers Creepers convicted of having sex with a sixth-grader back in 1989?

Yep, he sure was. In fact, the kid he molested was one of the stars of his first film, _Clownhouse_.

He also directed **Powder** , which is when the molestation story popped up.

Hey, maybe Jeepers Creepers 2 will win an Oscar and he’ll get a standing ovation.
