Jeepers Creepers = Unsolved Mysteries Ripoff?!

It’s always fun to unexpectedly discover where a filmmaker got the inspiration for his movie. I was recently watching an old segment from Unsolved Mysteries about a man named Dennis Depue who murdered his wife and tried to dispose of the body and, wow, the similarities to the first act of Jeepers Creepers are pretty amazing! Watch this comparison video to see for yourself. To be fair, the pilfering from Unsolved Mysteries ends after the first half hour of Jeepers Creepers since Dennis Depue was never revealed to be a flesh-eating winged creature.
