Line 29:
** In the sequel, The Creeper himself gets a ''javelin'' right through the eye, and sticking out the back of his head.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Well, you'll die eventually, but only after the Creeper is done removing your organs.
* [[Full
* [[Genre Savvy]]: After running the Creeper over in Trish's car:
{{quote| '''Darry''': "Is he dead?"<br />
Line 65:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Jezelle, whose powers are the subject of much skepticism by the other characters (at least initially). Minxie from the second movie also develops them, and is plagued with dreams/visions of {{spoiler|Darry}} telling her about the nature of the Creeper.
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Lots of crows are drawn to the Creeper's lair in the church basement, {{spoiler|and the other lair he sets up in an abandoned factory.}} Crows are also present whenever the Creeper is around in the sequel.
* [[Regularly
* [[The Reptilians]]: The Creepers appears somewhat like this.
* [[The Reveal]]: That the driver of the truck is actually the Creeper, and is very, very far from a [[Ax Crazy|crazed human]] [[Serial Killer]], but that he is an ancient demon that feeds on human beings (and then preserves their corpses as a form of art). He grows more and more monstrous as the film goes on, shedding clothes and revealing more of his horrifying anatomy.
Line 73:
*** "SCOTTY!"
* [[Scary Scarecrows]]: The Creeper poses himself as the scarecrow in the Cat Lady's yard. Then disguises as one in Jack Sr.'s cornfield in the second film. Which is creepy as hell.
* [[Shout
** In the sequel, Jack Sr.'s original line when stabbing the Creeper was [[Moby Dick|"From hell's heart I stab at thee!"]] The test audience [[Narm|laughed at it though]], so it was axed.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: The Creeper does this quite frequently.
Line 91:
* [[Acting for Two]]: A minor example. Jonathan Breck, who plays the Creeper, also appears as one of the cops towards the end of the film.
* [[The Alleged Car]]: Trish's car.
* [[Almost
* {{spoiler|[[The Bad Guy Wins]]: How the film ends.}}
* [[Bowdlerise]]: For some reason, some versions of the film omit {{spoiler|Darry's screams}} from the final scene. They can, however, be heard if the Director's Commentary is on.
Line 113:
* [[Game Face]]: The Creepers does this at the end {{spoiler|to intimidate the cops, just before he flies off with Darry}}.
* [[Groin Attack]]: What the Cat Lady does to Darry. With the butt of her shotgun. Owww.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Trish attempts one when she begs the Creeper to let Darry go and [[Take Me Instead!|take her instead]]. It doesn't work.}}
* [[Incest Is Relative]]: Darry calls Pertwilla County, Florida the "Incest Capital of the World". In addition, he assumes it's what was wrong with the mad driver at first.
* [[It Got Worse]]: Darry and Trish think that being run off the road by a maniac in a truck is bad initially. From that point on, things do indeed get much, much worse for them, and it never really stops.
Line 133:
* [[The Stinger]]: After the credits of the first movie, there is a quick shot of the Creeper truck, horn blasting, driving across the road.
* [[Suddenly Voiced]]: A deleted scene revealed the Creeper can talk.
* [[Take Me Instead!]]: {{spoiler|Trish tearfully begs the Creeper to take her instead of Darry, but, after some consideration, he goes with his original choice}}.
* [[Things That Go Bump in The Night]]: A working title for the film was "Here comes the Boogeyman."
* [[Titled After the Song]]
Line 142:
* [[Vanity License Plate]]: The Creeper's license plate reads BEATNGU. Darry (incorrectly) guesses the meaning as "Beating you" - [[Stealth Pun|it's actually]] {{spoiler|"Be Eating You"}}.
* [[Volleying Insults]]: Trish and Darry occasionally engage in this, playfully.
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: The Creeper's 1941 Chevy COE is old, seriously beat-up and crappy-looking (not to mention creepy as hell), but it can effortlessly catch up to Trish's car. It is strongly implied to have a souped-up engine.<ref>(Speculated to be the result of a 383 chevy crate motor with a supercharger)</ref>
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: It is never made entirely clear if the Cat Lady died as a result of being attacked by the Creeper, or if she survived.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Rats?]]: It seems likely that Darry may have a fear of rats, if his reaction to seeing a load of them in the pipe is anything to go by.
Line 164:
* [[It's Personal]]: After having his son, Billy, killed by the Creeper, Jack Sr. is utterly determined to track down and kill it. His older son, Jack Jr., also wants to avenge the death of his brother.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Scott from the second movie, who, in addition to being a [[Jerkass]] to absolutely everyone (including his own girlfriend), is very heavily implied to be racist and homophobic. [[Death By Racism|No prizes for guessing what his eventual fate is]].
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: Done when the protagonists are running away from The Creeper. Subverted when the guy who suggested it is the only one to do it and is promptly caught.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Izzy - Or isn't he?
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: [[Double Subversion]] -- After much consideration, the students decide to get off the bus and make a run for it. [[Oh Crap|Then they see the Creeper.]] They all try to get back on the bus, but can't because the one person who stayed on locked them out. So they go with their original plan and run away.
Line 172:
=== '''The speculated third film contains examples of''': ===
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: According to the synopsis for the upcoming third film, {{spoiler|Trish has a son named after Darry.}}
* [[Development Hell]]: Seems to be stuck here.
* [[Flash Back]]: To the Creeper's hunts in [[The Wild West|The Old West]].
