I was wondering if someone can explain to me what the creature from Jeepers Creepers is. Also in the first movie why did he build a tapestry of bodies underground. Was he eating them or just wanted to preserve them (for art)? Yuck!!!

Well every 23rd spring the creeper eats so pretty self explanatory there those bodies i think he had already taken what he wanted from them. cause based on your fear he decides what you want from you for instance with Dairy it wanted his eyes with the cop in the car he wanted his brain etc.
What i can tell the creeper is some sort of demon that can only live once every 23rd spring.
in the sequel they sort of explained that he uses the spare parts for weapons but yeah i hope that helps

dk wat the creature is and why he keeps their bodies but all I know s that when he comes alive he goes looking for body parts that he needs and he will only take that body part from that person. He also will use some of their body parts for certain weapons like in part 2 a weapon had the guys rose tatoo on it...so baiscally that's all I know about jeepers creepers. Hope this info helps answer ur question :)
