Resuming his hunt for Darry and Trish, he landed inside an old woman's yard, impersonating one of her scarecrows. Trish drove away from the scene and The Creeper loaded the headless body, into the back of his truck followed by the male cop's head. As the terrified brother and sister watched, he came out seconds later, whistling his favorite song Jeepers Creepers, walked over to the cop's head, and pulled its tongue out with his teeth. Through all that confusion the Creeper was able to slide inside the police car and sit in it waiting. He threw the head at Trish's windshield, alarming the siblings and causing them to stop. He landed on the police car, which was behind that of the oblivious Jenner sibling's vehicle, pulled the female cop out of the car window by grabbing her head, then penetrated the top of the car right above the driver's seat with his hand, dragged the male cop's head through the hole, and beheaded him with a battle-axe. He first eliminated the bigger threat, the police. The Creeper flew to Darry, Trish and the two cops. Then he went to deal with the police and the two siblings. He flew back to his church, and knowing that his hideout was no longer safe, he disposed of the evidence by setting it on fire, along with the basement and his workshop. Minute later, he flew over the gas station and saw Darry and Trish were with police. The Creeper then ran off as some people in the diner had seen him. He went through the laundry he found at the backseat of the car, sniffing it, and confirming his suspicions that Darry was inside his lair. It was dark by the time he found their car. Knowing that the only people that came snooping in his lair were the pair he encountered earlier, the Creeper sprang his wings and flew to the Gas Station. Back at the church, he found evidence that someone had been there while he was away, and smelled Darry's scent, as Darry was scared when he found all the bodies. He still ignored them and sped back to the church with all haste. The Creeper had been gone for a while, probably to hunt, and returned when Darry and Trish were parked outside a gas station. It is unknown why he spared their lives, as he could easily have stopped to kill them. The Creeper drove off and left the Jenners where they were. He did this repeatedly sounding his horn, until the final blow that sent their car off the road. The Creeper did not take long to catch up to them and rammed the cattle catcher in the front of his truck at the rear of their car. Knowing very well that they had seen him, he got back in his truck and gave chase. The Creeper had possibly forgotten about the Jenners, but just as he was tossing another body down the pipe in broad daylight, he saw them pass by, looking at what he was doing. He drove behind Trish's car and sounded his horn, ignoring the space Darry offered him to pass. As he drove along the highway on East 9 in rural North Central Florida he came across siblings Trish and Darry. After having fed, he was returning to his church hideout with the body of a victim wrapped in a sheet in the back of his vehicle. He is also revealed to be responsible for the disappearance of the Roanoke colonists in the late 1580s, as well as starting the mine fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania in 1962.įive days before it's hibernation, the Creeper went out on a hunt in it's signature rusty old truck. The Cherokee likewise referred to him as the Uktena, the most feared and respected of all the dark creatures, and performed a similar method of keeping him appeased.
