First it was announced that a new Halloween sequel was on the way and now we have confirmation that a new Jeepers Creepers sequel is on the way, too! 2016 is going to be a big year for horror and it can’t get here soon enough!

It was announced today that Myriad Pictures will finance the third installment in the Jeepers Creepers franchise and the upcoming film is on the fast track with production expected to begin in the first quarter of 2016. Despite backing Jeepers Creepers 2 in 2003, Myriad Pictures has taken a more independent route, so I think the new movie will be going straight-to-DVD and I am more than OK with that as long as we get to see The Creeper once again.

Speaking of familiar faces, it was also confirmed that many cast and crew members from the first two films will return to the franchise, most notably writer and director Victor Salva and Jonathan Breck who plays the infamous Creeper. Brandon Smith will also return as Sergeant Davis Tubbs. It is unknown if Justin Long will be brought on board, although the actor expressed interest in the movie as of 2014.

Francis Ford Coppola & American Zoetrope, Suraj Gohill & Odyssey Media and Stan Spry & The Cartel will help bring Jeepers Creepers 3 to life as producers and supporting production companies.

Bloody Disgusting exclusively describes the plot as: “Jeepers Creepers 3 will show events on the last day of the Creeper’s twenty-three day feeding frenzy, as the skeptical Sergent Tubbs teams up with a task force hellbent on destroying the Creeper for good. The Creeper fights back in gory glory as its enemies grow closer than ever before to learning the secret of its dark origins.”

  1. Can someone run that piece of walking shit salva out of hollywood already. he molested a kid…on the set of a horror movie…one he directed…he was charged and convicted…and is still being paid good money to make more movies featuring primarily half naked adolescent males and is still a member of the directors guild in good standing. The same guild who keeps saying how proud they are that neither cosby or weinstein are members any longer. And horror fan’s drop to their knee’s begging for more from this asshole. I love a good movie , but where do horror fans draw the line? Clearly real world pedophilia doesn’t seem to be it. Pathetic.
