A newly released teaser for the upcoming horror sequel, Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (AKA Jeepers Creepers 4), teases the return of the mysterious monster known as The Creeper. Released via the official Jeepers Creepers: Reborn YouTube channel, the footage introduces us to the latest crew of cannon fodder, each of whom will be tormented and likely gruesomely killed by the horror icon.

Along with the new footage, it has also now been revealed that Jeepers Creepers: Reborn will debut in theaters during a special three-night fan event across the dates of September 19, 20, and 21. Director Timo Vuorensola’s “highly anticipated new chapter in the Jeepers Creepers franchise will come to audiences via a three-night fan premiere event offered exclusively through Fathom Events nationwide,” a statement released alongside the trailer reads.

Jeepers Creepers: Reborn unfolds as the Horror Hound Festival holds its first ever event in Louisiana, where it attracts hundreds of geeks, freaks and die-hard horror fans from far and wide. Among them is fanboy Chase and his girlfriend Laine, who is forced to come along for the ride. But as the event approaches, Laine begins to experience unexplained premonitions and disturbing visions associated with the town’s past, and in particular, local legend/urban myth, The Creeper.

As the festival arrives and the blood-soaked entertainment builds to a frenzy, Laine believes that something unearthly has been summoned…and that she is at the center of it.

Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is directed by Timo Vuorensola (Iron Sky), who will work from a script written by Jake Seal and Sean-Michael Argo. The horror sequel is produced by Michael Ohoven and Jake Seal. Jeepers Creepers: Reborn stars Sydney Craven as Laine and Imran Adams as Chase alongside the likes of Gabriel Freilich, Pete Brooke, Dee Wallace, and Gary Graham, with Jarreau Benjamin starring as The Creeper.

While horror fans await the release of Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, there will likely be a lot more to look forward to from The Creeper, with the fourth outing intended to be the first part of an all-new Jeepers Creepers trilogy.

"As excited as we are, we know that fans will be even more thrilled (and chilled) to return to the world of the Creeper, now with a much scarier vision from director Timo Vuorensola, who is the perfect fit to restart this franchise," Screen Media said in a statement regarding their plans to relaunch a new era of Jeepers Creepers separate from creator Victor Salva.

Introduced in the first Jeepers Creepers movie back in 2001, The Creeper is a mysterious demonic creature who awakens every twenty-three years and kills and eats certain parts of certain people for twenty-three days. The character, who quickly became a favorite movie monster following the release of the first outing, has since appeared in several sequels, Jeepers Creepers 2 in 2003 and Jeepers Creepers 3 in 2017, with many looking forward to seeing the creature return under the direction of a brand-new filmmaker.

So, once again, Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is set to debut in theaters during a special three-night fan event across the dates of September 19, 20, and 21.
