Directed by: Victor Salva
Starring: Justin Long, Jonathan Breck, Gina Philips, Patricia Belcher
The Cat Lady: What the hell did you bring into my house?
Trish: The first time I heard that story, I used to think this would be the road I'd die on.
Jezelle Gay Hartman: Every 23rd Spring, for 23 days, it gets to... eat.
Darry: Eat?
Jezelle Gay Hartman: You know what it eats and don't you make me tell you.
Continuity mistake: When Darry falls down the pipe the ground is clear, and he walks about 10 steps to the body in the sheet. However the wrapped up body should have been at the bottom on the pipe, where the boy fell, unless the body was able to move 15 ft on its own.
Trivia: In the final shot, the Creeper's eye looking through one of the holes of dead Darry is Justin Long's eye. (Confirmed on the DVD commentary).
Question: What did Jezelle mean at the police station about the creeper saying "I think it's eaten too many hearts for its own to ever stop."
Answer: Since the Creeper needs various body parts i.e. eyes to see, lungs to breathe, it would also need to eat the hearts of its victims for its own heart to keep beating. Or she could mean that the Creeper is essentially devoid of all emotions as it keeps attacking anybody that has the body parts that it needs to extend its own life.
