Jeeper Creepers comes back to join the monster party
It’s been 21 years since the original Jeepers Creepers introduced horror fans to The Creeper, the grotesque monster that not just hunts and kills but harvests and eats the organs of human beings. Two more years and it would have been 23 years, an auspicious number for Jeepers Creepers fans because this particular monster is known for surfacing only every 23 years to massacre victims for exactly 23 days. But better now than later. This is the year, after all, when iconic monsters come back. Leatherface, Pinhead, the Predator, Ghostface, and Michael Myers have all returned or will be returning to the screens this year. It’s the ghoulish grand reunion party The Creeper just can’t miss.
In Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, the fourth installment in the Jeepers Creepers franchise, The Creeper terrorizes a party that is the Horror Hound festival in Louisiana, an event that draws die-hard horror fans from all over. Fresh ground for the beast offering a fresh batch of victims. Fanboy and conspiracy theorist Chase (Imran Adams) and his tag-along girlfriend Laine (Sydney Craven) luckily win a grand prize: the chance to stay at a Creeper-themed escape room where, unluckily, The Creeper stays too. The unfortunate couple can’t say they don’t see it coming. Laine experiences premonitions that warn her about the town’s past and its local legend The Creeper, making her feel, as Craven teases, “like she’s been here before.”
Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is directed by Timo Vuorensola, written by Jake Seal and Sean-Michael Argo, and produced by Michael Ohoven and Jake Seal. The film stars Imran Adams, Sydney Craven, Gabriel Freilich, and Pete Brooke with Gary Graham and Dee Wallace. Also, starring is Ocean Navarro, Matt Barkley, Peter Brooke, Gabriel Freilich, and Georgia Goodman.

While horror fan Chase and his girlfriend Laine drive to the Horror Hound festival in Louisiana, Chase tells Laine about the legend of The Creeper which comes out to feed only every 23 years. “I can’t believe I let you drag me to this,” says Laine. Along the way, they pass by a creepy scarecrow which is shorthand for something scary is about to happen. The festival turns out to be a ghoulish carnival populated by horror fanatics, a sword-eating skeleton, a maniacal clown, a fire-breather, and all sorts of freaks and geeks. “This is the Coachella of cosplay!” Chase excitedly tells a wary Laine. The festival host announces that it is time for a Creeper Draw, the prize being an escape room for two which the couple (un)luckily wins. A gothic chandelier crashes upon the group’s entry to the Creeper-themed escape room. The Jeepers Creepers song (a 1930s love song from which the original movie title is derived) plays from a scratchy phonograph, setting the tone for the bloody massacre that follows when The Creeper arrives.

The film unfolds as the Horror Hound festival holds its first-ever event in Louisiana, where it attracts hundreds of geeks, freaks, and die-hard horror fans from far and wide.

But as the event approaches, Laine begins to experience unexplained premonitions and disturbing visions associated with the town’s past, and in particular, local legend/urban myth The Creeper. As the festival arrives and the blood-soaked entertainment builds to a frenzy, Laine believes that something unearthly has been summoned…and that she is at the center of it.
