Jeepers creepers
What do people think about getting the map and character added to the game?

It has been stated countless times on here, by BHVR themselves even, that they do not want to add Jeepers Creepers because the creator is a convicted paedophile.

If we ever get a JC chapter I would quit on the spot. I don't want to be even remotely affiliated with anyone that would support that creator monetarily.

Its based of a true story, Some of these killers are based of true killers who have done some horrible weird #########.

I'm starting to think folks keep asking for this precisely do the problematic nature of Jeepers Creepers.

Based off of isn't remotely the same as created by.
BHVR has stated clearly that they don't want to be even remotely associated with the franchise. I support that decision, stay the ######### away from JC.

Idk man if you wanna give money and publicity to a nonce that's kinda weird

Although a much lesser point, the series isn't even that good

As a character, I would love The Creeper to join DBD
But as has been stated in this thread, the creator/director guy is kind of...disgusting and so there'd be no chance for it to happen.
Which is a shame cause I think The Creeper is an interesting character that you could do a lot with but I 100% understand and am fine with BHVRs reasoning for why it won't happen.

Maybe as a paragraph i dont think there is a iconic character for surv side.
Also notice that new film was way worse than old ones it remembered me scary movie

This.
though iirc that thing has sold the rights and wouldn’t directly profit from it anymore? (Wasn’t there even talk about some remake movies or something?)
also, BHVR have changed their mind on previously stated ‚never‘-s multiple times now, so can’t be sure about this one either..

The remake/reimaginating or whatever came out last year on Hulu
Word on the street is that it is AWFUL
I was actually going to watch it because I don't mind good bad horror but evidently the new movie is just bad bad horror.
Though with the new movie, Victor Salva is not part of it in any way and according to the director, benefits zero from it so presumably yes, the rights have been changed.

I don't think DBD could handle JC but that's just me
On top of everything else behind the scenes

Not all of us are as informed as you are. Just Googled it and found the story. I also didn't know he helmed the entire trilogy.
And no, now that I know it I do not want JC in DbD.

If there's a big enough demographic, anything is possible. $$$

While it still stands that JC should stay away from this game, the original creator no longer benefits financially from anything Jeepers Creepers related. I think he lost the rights as well
2 -
You're correct, after some digging he sold the rights, hence why JC Reborn could be made.
But if I'm being frank, I honestly don't care if he does or doesn't. The franchise is forever tarnished by him and his actions. Anything remotely related to supporting the nonce, even with just mere publicity, disgusts me to my core.

Unless the director is dead, it'll never happen and it never should happen.

I never really liked the movie to be honest, but after I found out the whole polemic about the director, I personally vouch for it to not come and I imagine the team at BHVR feels the same way. As some people pointed, maybe if the director dies or can no longer receive anything from the property, then maybe it could be implemented, though I myself wouldn't really want that at all if I'm being honest.

I wished this so hard, until I found out the pedophile thing...this is actually my favorite scary movie, and I think would have been amazing for DBD, so it's sad it wasn't created by a better human.

The brother and sister from part 1 could be the survs

Don't feel bad, i've came here with the same idea and got told the same thing..and I had never, ever even heard word of it all before. I even googled it after because I was like, there's no way this is true..but, unfortunately..

As long as he can drive around in a 1940s Chevy truck, I'm up for it.

But its based of a true story all this man done was make a film? How would he benefit from it? But i guess you have no problem with texas chainshaw whos based of a real life weirdo who used to dig up dead bodies

The director served his time, so he should still be punished for it? The costume designer, the artists/makeup, the cast, the crew and the fans didn't commit any crimes either, so why should they miss out? Don't like it, don't buy it.
But this is 2023 and people in the gaming community nowadays have skin about as thick as tracing paper, see Harry Potter and JK Rowling.

That Film was not directed and produced by a convicted pedophile.
The boy was twelve years old. ######### disgusting.

What is this post

When Victor Salva dies the slow, cold, lonely, and painful death he deserves, then we can consider it
Until then, hell no

Honestly I want Jeepers Creepers in the game it’ll make it more terrifying to play if it’s done right the recent killers we have gotten are cool but not really terrifying and it’s kinda a let down personally I don’t support what the guy did but he knew how to make a scary movie Jeepers creepers one was at its peak having a creature no one really knows its origin or where it came from or why it’s driven by this evil hunger he gets from eating humans would make a great character but I do understand why they don’t want him due to the guy even the reboot that has nothing to do with him still a terrible movie but could bring him to the game if they want to go with the reboot .

Only way ppl will be ok with it is if not a single penny goes to the Pedo that made it. If they can get the rights to the character without paying that dude anything, great. Unfortunately though I don't think this will be a repeat of Ghostface who they only had to get licensing agreements from the ppl who made the mask instead of the film franchise.

while i dont know why someone ressurected this thread
its important to note, the victim was a twelve year old boy.
assault against boys and men is often pushed under the rug
so even if it was a typing mistake i think it should be said

Ah, apologies. The article I was reading said it was a girl.

Correct me if I’m wrong but do the character rights actually belong to the director? I thought I remembered once reading that he was just chosen to direct it - not that he actually created it.

It was written and directed by Salva
He also did the sequels of which there are two. He wrote and directed both of those as well, but there is a reboot that he isn't attached to at all and as of last may that film was held up in court due to a lawsuit over the rights. it apparently got released in September of last year, but the court case seems to still being going ahead it seems. The suit involves Myriad Pictures and Infinity Films Holdings as Myriad says that the movie was made without knowledge or consent on top of being sold to their competitor Screen Media Films.
So, it's a giant mess that no matter how anyone wants to slice it should stay far far away from DBD.

Thank you for clearing that up. I remember watching the first two movies when I was like 11-12 and never bothered with the third upon learning about the director so I never really read into them any further.
