Salva announced in an earlier statement, "What will go before cameras as Jeepers Creepers 3 is a new and terrifying chapter from the Jeepers universe... We are bringing back the Creeper's truck, and will be addressing the big questions about The Creeper: what it is, where it came from and why it does what it does."
The Creeper is the franchise's main antagonist, an ancient demon that devours human flesh for 23 days ever 23rd of Spring. He appears as a humanoid figure who wears a tattered duster, tattered trousers and a wide brimmed stetson. He is depicted as a creature who has bird-like talons for feet, needle-like teeth and a set of bat-like wings.
'Jeepers Creepers 3' is an upcoming horror film intended as the third installment in Victor Salva's franchise. It will feature the return of Jonathan Breck as the titular Creeper with Brandon Smith as the protagonist Sergeant Tubbs.
