Jeepers Creepers Page #4

Darry staring down at the speedometer. He's up to ninety and

the little car is starting to shake.

Darry checks the rearview mirror. The van still gaining.

DARRY:

What the Hell's he got in that

thing? He's got it suped up or

something-

The car speeds down the two lane trying desperately to keep distance,

but the van continues to gain -SCREAMING TOWARD THEM.

TRISH:

Darry!!! He's right on our

ass!!!

DARRY:

I can see him!

The van is only a few yards from them now. Darry's foot

slamming the pedal to the metal.

He and she staring back at the van's tinted windshield.

Glints in the sun. No driver can be seen.

JEEPERS CREEPERS

DARRY (cont’d)

Hang on-

TRISH:

Darry-

DARRY:

I'm gonna try something.

TRISH:

Darry don't kill us...

He is staring up ahead at a gravel road that shoots sharply

off the highway.

Just as the van lurches up to their rear bumper -its dark

face and grill filling the rear and sideview mirrors.

TRISH (cont’d)

Darry what're you doing?

DARRY:

Jesus Christ-

BAM! THE VAN SLAMS THE BACK OF THE CAR.

At its top speed, the car shimmies and shakes. Darry weaves

in and out of the oncoming lane several times before

regaining control.

DARRY (cont’d)

I don't believe this-

WOOOONNNNKKKKKK!!!!! THE HORN FROM THE VAN BLARES -but it is

a sound they have never heard come from an auto before.

This could almost be the deep, guttural sound of a wailing

beast.

TRISH:

What the Hell does he want?!

(screaming out the back)

Are you out of your f***ing

mind?!!!

WHAM! The van hits the back of the sedan again.

DARRY:

Christ!

Darry almost in tears. Trying desperately to control the car

as it crosses the oncoming lane and roughly lurches onto the

dirt shoulder.

JEEPERS CREEPERS

The sedan shakes violently as Darry tries to get it back onto

asphalt again.

His sister screams -a big ditch dead ahead. Darry grapples

the wheel and as the sedan spits up dirt, he swings the car

back onto asphalt again.

The van tails them across the oncoming lane and back across

the highway.

WOOOONNNKKKKK!!! THE STRANGE, BRUTAL HORN WAILS AGAIN.

Darry is almost up to the gravel road that shoots off the two

lane.

DARRY (cont’d)

Hang on!

Trish just stares at her brother. The boy is shaken. Eyes

full of fear. She looks back at the van. It is charging ahead

at them again.

TRISH:

What the f*** is the matter

with you?!!!!

WHAMM!!! Struck again from behind -Darry really loses

control. Tries to swing onto the gravel roadway -but leaves

the two lane at a terrifying speed, unable to negotiate the

sharp turn.

Blasting through a wooden fence and into an open field.
