As a horror enthusiast who has seen my fair share of chilling films and creepy creatures, I must say that the Jeepers Creepers theory about Jezelle being the real villain is quite intriguing. It’s not every day you come across a theory that flips the script on an established monster like the Creeper. The idea that the seemingly helpful psychic might actually be manipulating events from behind the scenes, using the Creeper as her personal puppet, adds a layer of suspense and unpredictability to the story that I find fascinating.
In my gaming world, when it comes to chilling horror movie franchises, Jeepers Creepers stands out as a straightforward tale of terror. The main antagonist, this unique beast called the Creeper, is a hulking, bloodthirsty monster that initially appears as a rural maniac with a folk-horror vibe, but quickly transforms into a winged demon that awakens every 23 years to feed on human fear and devour specific body parts for its own regeneration. The Creeper could easily make it onto the list of scariest movie monsters in history one day. Its menacing looks and brutal methods scream pure evil. However, what if the Creeper isn’t the most terrifying villain from the first film? Instead, I ponder, is there another sinister force lurking in the shadows, waiting to make its presence known and claim the title of the ultimate horror icon in Jeepers Creepers?
Based on a hypothesis proposed by TikTok user @itscamj_dablacksheep, the Creeper might not be the main antagonist as it initially appears. Instead, it could be a servant working under Jezelle Gay Hartman (played by Patricia Belcher), the troubled psychic who alerts Darry (Justin Long) and Trish Jenner (Gina Philips) about the Creeper’s true identity in the first “Jeepers Creepers” movie. This theory suggests that Jezelle, rather than being a helpful figure, is manipulating the other human characters for her own purposes. The reasoning behind this theory is that Jezelle could have summoned the Creeper after her community ostracized her, and she may control its violent actions.
Jezelle is the real danger, not the Creeper
The theory proposes that the Creeper may not be intentionally harmful to the Jenners when he harasses them at the start of the film. In the initial scene, an RV successfully avoids the Creeper by moving off the road, and the monster leaves it alone. If Darry were to follow this example in the two instances where the Creeper’s truck is behind their car, the creature might not continue bothering the Jenners. Moreover, if Darry chooses not to venture into the Creeper’s hideout – speculated to be the same church that banished Jezelle, causing her to summon the Creeper – Jezelle may not provoke the monster to attack Darry.
When psychic Jezelle perceives that the Jenners are intruding on her affairs, she determines it’s necessary to halt Darry’s actions. At this point, she issues threatening messages over the phone and later engages directly with the youngsters, relishing their fear. It’s noteworthy that Jezelle manages to come through unscathed in a direct confrontation with the supernatural murderer, only for the monster to subsequently target Darry. This is an unusual feat for characters within a horror film series, hinting at a possible link between the two.
Does the Jezelle theory have any legs?
If you buy into this theory, it certainly makes Jezelle’s eerie phone call and eventual sudden appearance far more ominous. It also explains the Creeper’s utter disinterest in harming her. Considering Justin Long’s penchant for playing characters who unwittingly but voluntarily step in dangerous situations in horror movies (like the surprising and delightful “Barbarian” and the somewhat less delightful Kevin Smith walrus body horror flick “Tusk”), it’s also tempting to think that he’d unwittingly bring doom on himself in “Jeepers Creepers.”
Despite all this, it’s unlikely that the “Jezelle is a villain” theory has actual legs. The TikTok user specifically notes in the video description that they made up the theory. Besides, later installments expand on the Creeper, establishing it as an extremely powerful entity that’s not explicitly connected to religion and has been doing its thing for many centuries. It’s unlikely that Jezelle could have controlled him like a summoned demon. Still, the theory adds a fun potential layer to the story, and could very well spice up all those actual things you forgot about “Jeepers Creepers.”
