DARRY (cont’d)

You see it?

Her sister peers past him. In the church's side yard, the old

van is parked. The one that almost ran them off the road.

DARRY (cont’d)

It's "Beating You".

TRISH:

What's he doing?

JEEPERS CREEPERS

But what they both see now is something much more ominous:

A tall, dark figure dropping something large and oblong down

an old drainage pipe in the back of the church.

DARRY:

What the Hell is that...

The oblong object is gone in an instant. Swallowed up by the

large mouth of the old protruding pipe.

The kid's view blocked now by the church.

TRISH:

Don't slow down!

DARRY:

You think he saw us?

TRISH:

What the Hell was he doing?

DARRY:

He dumped something down that

pipe.

TRISH:

Wrapped in a sheet.

DARRY:

Wrapped and roped in a sheet.

TRISH:

Wrapped and roped in a sheet

with red stains on it.

Both of them study the rearview mirror now.

TRISH (cont’d)

Vehicle of choice for five out

of ten what?

Darry guns the engine.

DARRY:

I don't think he saw us.

TRISH:

Don't get us killed.

DARRY:

You see him?

Both watch the old church get smaller in their view.

TRISH:

Nope.

Someone appears high on the old roof. Standing next to the

sagging steeple.

DARRY:

What the-

Appears so suddenly it could almost be the Figure had leapt

up there.

Darry stares at this, perplexed.

DARRY (cont’d)

You see that?

She hasn't. Just the distant figure on the roof, looking

after them. Some kind of long coat flapping in the wind like

a cape.

TRISH:

Just get us out of here Darry!

The figure drops from view as quickly as he appeared.

A glance between brother and sister and Darry increases speed.

DARRY:

Grab my cell phone!

TRISH:

Where?

DARRY:

In the gym bag!

Trish starts rummaging. Finds the cell phone. Flips it open.

Powers it up. Staring back at the church.

THE PHONE GIVES OUT A LOW BATTERY ALERT.

TRISH:

The point of having a portable

phone idiot, is so that it

works when you need it.

DARRY:

I have a power cable for it!

TRISH:

(stuffs the phone back in

the bag)

TRISH (cont'd)

And I have a cigarette lighter

that doesn't work!

DARRY:

I told you we shoulda’ taken

my car!

Trish pales. Staring out the back.

In the distance the dark van is now leaving the old church

and taking the road again.

TRISH:

Oh Jesus...

Heading toward them.

DARRY:

(in the rearview)

You gotta be kidding me...

THEY CAN HEAR THE VAN'S DISTANT ENGINE BEING GUNNED....

Darry floors it, the little car ripping down the highway as

the old van swoops after it -looking like a dark bird of

prey.
