This week we cover the three films of the "Jeepers Creeper" franchise. All were written and directed by Victor Salva*. All take place in a short time frame. The second movie occurs four days after the first. The third movie occurs between the first and second.
I think the Creeper is one of the best horror creatures out there. He likes to wear a trench coat and stetson hat. Sometimes he dons a red sweater. He has bat like wings and can fly. He likes to scare people to determine if they have body parts he's interested in. So far he's needed eyes, a new head, a foot, a hand, etc. He drives a sentient truck and is partial to the song "Jeepers Creepers" for some reason.
Since the action in these movies takes place in Florida, I went with a few Florida recipes. From OnlyInYourState.com we have key lime pie, mojitos, cuban midnight sandwiches, coconut bars, grits, lemon orange chicken, cajun grits and kumquat ice cream. Check out TasteOfHome.com as well for more fun recipes.
*CONTROVERSY: There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding Victor Salva's films. Per Wikipedia, he was "convicted in 1988 for sexually abusing a 12-year-old actor who starred in his feature film debut "Clownhouse" (1989), as well as possessing child pornography. This controversy has led to protests against his films, including a boycott of "Powder" organized by his victim." I include this information so you can make an informed decision about whether or not you want to any of Salva's movies.
