Jeepers Creepers
Come on all you die hard horror fans. We know this guy is on
your top 10 list for most gruesome and coolest of evil villains. He's
got wings that flap like a bats and a face that opens like an umbrella,
with tissue in it like black and red skin that defies description. Oh yeah,
he's one of the coolest of the ghouls, for sure.
Below are some shots from the flicks one and two. I believe there will be part three coming out sometime this year and in 3D. I'll have to
check my stats on that and get back to you.
For me, he's an evil that no one has ever dealt with and won. All they are doing is putting off the inevitable. That being waiting another
7 years to come 'round so he can come out of his cocoon state and devour whomever he wishes. Ah, let's correct that, he devours
whatever body part he's in need of at that moment ... Head, tongue, eyes, nose ... It's munch out time for our villain and he's ravenous.

Here's a picture of his truck. The
one the Creeper used in the first movie
to crash or let's say smash into the
poor teenagers car.

| Here's a shot of the Creeper, just hanging around till his 23rd season, lying in wait. Gosh that's a long time to go between feedings. He really must have a slow digestive tract. No wonder he's so ravenous when his din din bell rings. |
I must say, the special effects make-up aint all
what I'd call, top notch and I'd truly like to understand
what goes on in his lair of his. There are so many
holes in this story ... Like where does this creature
come from, whether it's a demon or devil, or once was
human, no answers given at all.
And then what about his homestead with
hundreds of bodies impaled on the ceiling, like the
Sistine Chapels paintings, hung as art. Here's the
only close up of two bodies, from the high school,
sown together? It's so vague, like so many grade B
horror flicks of the '50's. Cool monster, thin plot, if
any.

| I watched the out-takes from the flick and what they left out, in some cases, was better than what they left in? Here's a picture that never made it into any flick. Looks way cool to me. Is that some zombie girlfriend he's got there or what? |
| Umbrella head ... Looks something like one of the creatures from the old Outer Limits black and white series. Very effective horror. Something like a Venus Fly Trap opening for its prey. |
| I liked the black ominous shadowy creature shown in some of the shots of the flick. That and the obvious vanes running throughout his wings. And the immeasurable strength of the beast. Love when he was pulling on the cable that was run right through him and he cut the bus right in half with a yank. Well that's it. Maybe if they do another re-make, Francis Ford Cappola will use some of my suggestions. I really want to know the purpose of that shop of horrors he's got. Just what is this creature doing with all of those bodies sown together? Is he making a quilt or something? |
| Jeepers Creepers Creature. Sculpted by Joe Simon. 1/4 scale. For the Geometric Design line of models. |
Page design completed on May 17th, 2011.
I veered off the colour
scheme of the movie creature,
opting for green and
complementary colour of reds.
Now that's my kind of horror.
Artistic license you know.
Although, I understand the
insect like glossy slimy wet black
look they achieved in the flick, I
do like mine better.

| And the hat ... Just a tilt of the hat and you've given the creature the look of a Frenchman. "Parla vous Francais?" lol ... You godda love me ... I just couldn't resist. |
Or shot from above ...
"Come on punk ... This is a 357
Magnum ... The most powerful
gun on the planet." "Now ask
yourself. Did he shoot 5 shots or
6." "Do you feel lucky?" ...
"Well do ya punk?" "Come on.
Make my day."

| Or ... "Howdy pardner. Wanna get down off my horse." Hat's are such an expressive vehicle to design ones own character and personality. That's why I love to wear them, |
Now let's get back to the essence of the beast.
I think he's a real masterpiece in design. Especially those
true blue eyes.

| What's with that stringy lock of hair. Makes "Not a fig." to me. Oh well, "That's just me, I guess." |
I just loved Dirty harry.
Our Creeper is no Dirty Harry, but he's still cool.

| Remember, if he winks at you, you most likely will end up on his dinner plate. |
| Next up on my plate is making a base for this bust. I'm taking my inspiration for it from the few scenes taken in the creatures lair. Here are some the drawings I've done used for inspiration as a sculpture. Sewn together faces, with a particular part (like a nose, ear or eye) removed and eaten by our creature for regenerative purposes. |
| Soon I'll be making a diorama, similar to the Fright Night house, for this bust and base. Here, I'll be using the barn from the flick, the farmer's truck with the arrow designed for the kill. Surely they'll be crows and the scarecrow himself. Sound like good fun to me. If you'd like to comment you can email me at richardcacioppo2000@yahoo.com thanks for looking |
the mad monster maker
If John Wayne knew that this Creeper
Creature stole his hat, he'd be turning in
his grave. Or galloping from off set to
steal it back.

| Well it's June 20th, 2011 and despite the fact that I've only 9 working fingers, I've managed to sculpt the base for the bust as planned and finished the paint up and the addition of all those wonderful stitches. Just like I have on my very bloated thumb. Chopping off a body part really isn't as much fun as it's cracked up to be. It's good to be mad ... Sometimes. Anyway, here's the first scratch-built base in a series that could go on forever. The possibilities are limitless. I've put it up for sale on my busts for sale page. The great thing about this is that they're all going to have different faces of agony for the bearer of dismemberment and ecstasy for the Creeper himself. I hope you let me make one happy face just for your very own. mawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawa |
How about some corn with that dismembered leg or arm.
Hey how 'bout instead of popped corn at the movies we have popped eyes. lol
| I had great fun researching eyes, noses, (take note of the nose on the left side of the face on the ground) those stitches and so on, to make this base. Nothings quite right, unless the fun and reality goes into a piece. I love the ride from beginning to end when doing a this type of art. So ... I'll keep doing it. |
