Trish repeatedly runs the driver over with her car but is left horrified as she sees a giant wing tear through its trench coat and flap in the air. The woman complies until she notices the driver hiding in her yard, who kills her before revealing its inhuman face to Trish and Darry. The pair stop at the house of a reclusive, elderly woman, begging her to call the police. Witnessing the aftermath, Trish and Darry drive off in terror. The police are then attacked and killed by the driver, who loads their bodies into the truck. As they travel, the police learn that the church has caught fire and any potential evidence has been destroyed. Confused, they ignore her warning and leave with two police officers providing a security escort. She then plays the song " Jeepers Creepers" on a record player, telling them one of them will die screaming while hearing the song. At the diner, they are phoned by a strange woman who tells them they are in danger. Darry eventually finds his way out of the pipe, finds Trish, and they both flee the scene and attempt to contact the police at a diner. Inside, he finds a dying man with stitches running down his stomach and hundreds of bodies sewn to the basement's walls and ceiling, including the bodies of a prom couple that had gone missing twenty-three years prior. Trish accidentally drops Darry, and he falls to the bottom of the pipe. Upon investigation, Darry hears noises coming from within the pipe and crawls inside with Trish holding on to his feet. Having noticed their car pass by, the driver pursues and runs them off the road.Īfter the truck drives off, Darry convinces Trish to go back to the church. They later observe the same truck parked next to an abandoned church with the driver sliding what appears to be bodies wrapped in blood-stained sheets into a large pipe sticking out of the ground. As they drive through the Florida countryside, an old truck threateningly tailgates them but eventually passes. Trish Jenner and her brother Darry are traveling home from college for spring break.
