Similar to his role as the distraught Leland Palmer on David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks,' Mr. The entire scene is one of several well-made and terrifically engaging moments where the demon creepily hides in plain sight as a scarecrow. The previous day, the hard-working farmer was witness to The Creeper's hunger lust when it literally flew away with Taggart's youngest son, like an owl snatching a mouse. Rushing to ease the tension is the always enjoyable Ray Wise as single-minded farmer on the warpath Jack Taggart. The chip-on-his-shoulders Scott (Eric Nenninger) suggests feeding the monster its selections with somewhat racial undertones while the rest make a run for it. That creepily hilarious sequences eventually leads to panicked survival mode amongst the basketball team on their way home from a championship game. It's practically a buffet on wheels, which The Creeper takes drooling delight in, sniffing their terrified hormones through the window and singling out his favorites as if he were picking a lobster in fish tank.

And what better way to do this than a school bus full of young, untainted teenagers. Because Long's Darry botched the creature's plans for hibernation, a fact announced over the radio in shocking detail, it's desperate to satisfy its ravenous hunger before the clock runs down. The why is never explained, but then again, that's part of the creature's engaging mystery. Jonathan Breck, once more, dons the makeup as The Creeper, the winged demon in the weathered hat and oilskin duster who feeds on human flesh for 23 days every 23 years. Without the need of a setting up the monster's entrance and pesky exposition, Salva can simply have silly fun with his creation.

Amazingly though, Salva salvages what's left of that wreck in this straightforward supernatural horror flick with bits of dark comedy relief sprinkled throughout. Such tactics may work for other, more talented filmmakers - Hitchcock, anyone! - but director Victor Salva, who also penned this follow-up, clumsily stumbled the gears and brakes the transmission in the first movie, bringing an otherwise suspenseful road movie to a screeching halt. There isn't a sudden, awkwardly jarring red-herring shift in tone and genre. But part of the sequel's success over its predecessor, which starred Justin Long and Gina Phillips, is audiences entering with the knowledge of seeing a creature feature. Picking up only days after the events of the first movie, 'Jeepers Creepers II' easily ranks as one of those rare sequels that surpasses the original and offers a more satisfyingly fun time at the movies.
