Answer 2

: Where was Jeepers Creepers filmed?
A: The opening sequence of Jeepers Creepers was filmed on an open road in Dunnellon, Florida known as Tiger Trail. This was the same road used for the night sequence when we first get a look at The Creeper as he kills the two police officers. The Church where The Creeper dumps the body down the pipe was filmed on one of Ocala's most beautiful horse farms, but the Church was burned down by arsonists a year after the movie was shot. It had been scheduled for refurbishing. The final scene of the film was shot at an abandoned meet packing plant - White's Meat Packing Plant - and only a "skeleton crew" would go into the spooky place. Little set dressing was necessary. The cat lady's house (played by Eileen Brennen) was in an actual residence in Lake County, Florida. The wall of bodies was built in a warehouse which doubled as a soundstage for the production. The police station was Reddick High School and the gym at the same school.

Jeepers Creepers lists several locations in florida. I'm not convinced that IMDB is the best, they rarely have more than the state, and sometimes the county, with no explanation of where it was done. Here's the link.

Shows that in Florida, the film used the following locations:
Bushnell, Dunnellon, Lake County, Marion County, Ocala, Sumter County, and Wildwood.

Not very specific, that probably covers about half the state. Here's the IMDB page that lists miscelaneous links. Doesn't look like that'll be much help either though.

Sometimes AAA has magazines for the various states, where they write about famous locations shot in movies. They had a pretty good one for some locations in CA. If you live in florida, you might ask your library if they have anything like that.

Answer 6

I agree that the Creeper was cool but the movies sucked. Where did he come from? Who is he? Cats are afraid of him...okay we know that, and he likes the song jeepers creepers. Other than that we don't know anything about him. The movie could have had a better story line. Maybe Rob Zombie can re make it.

Answer 7

• Jeepers Creepers, which filmed in the metro Orlando and Ocala areas for two months, set box office records as the all-time top-grossing release of the long Labor Day weekend. The film brought in more than $6 million and 105 jobs to the communities in which it filmed.
