Jeepers Creepers (The Creeper) Costume

My name is Brad from Sirbrad FX, and I design costumes and movie quality life-sized figures of horror icons. I specialize in Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Madman Marz, Jeepers Creepers, Terminator, Leatherface, and many more! I have been featured on DVDS and the official F13th website several times now. I grew up on horror movies and I started making Jason and Myers costumes in the early 80’s as a kid, and now today I design costumes for people worldwide! I have done more Jasons than any other costume so far, as he was always my favorite overall. I have been designing costumes for about 41 years now.

I always wanted to have a Jeepers Creepers costume, and a life-sized display for the house. I never could find any for sale and never seen any good ones made, so I decided to make it happen myself. I bought an official mask and real felt hat for it, then bought a brand new western duster and some black leather gloves. I also used a pair of black boots. I began making the under shirt which was brown, and cutting it up with various tools, knives, scissors, wire brushes etc. I tried to replicate the movie as much as possible. After that I did the same thing to the duster. I then began weathering the shirt with dark blacks and browns, as well as some deep reds for blood etc. I also did a ton of fraying, tattering, sanding, and added several layers of paints for all the dirt and grime.

I then used some khaki beige paints to simulate dirty mud and lighten up the duster and black pants, as well as on the boots. I did the same on the hat and added bullet holes through the front and back of the hat. I bought two 6 foot boards from Lowe’s to make a scarecrow cross, as well as some screws and twine, to simulate the opening scene in Jeepers Creepers 2. I also bought a black scarecrow with glowing red eyes to place on the Creeper to make it look even more scary.

I also made a pair of hands out of a cheap pair of demon hands that were white, I painted them dark gray with black highlights in shadowy areas. I then painted the nails black, and used some gloss to give the hands a wet look. Or I just used weathered leather gloves. I also added white crepe hair to the back and on the talons on the face to give him a beard.

I then made some eye inserts by gluing some half doll type eyes to some pieces of cardboard, and then taped them inside. I also made latex ones as well This Jeepers Creepers Costume was a lot of work but well worth it in the end! I plan on doing another even more realistic version with huge wings and feet soon!
