Jeepers Creepers 5: Curse of the Hollow, set for release on October 10, 2025, is generating massive buzz after its chilling trailer dropped, promising a return to the franchise’s terrifying roots. Directed by David F. Sandberg (Lights Out), the film brings back Gina Philips as Trish Jenner and Jonathan Breck as the Creeper, alongside Kaitlyn Dever and Giancarlo Esposito. Set in Oklahoma’s eerie plains, it blends gritty horror with Native American folklore, exploring the Creeper’s origins. After the disastrous Jeepers Creepers: Reborn (2022), fans on X are cautiously optimistic, praising the trailer’s moody visuals and gore but wary of another letdown. With a $15M budget, it aims to reclaim the 2001 classic’s cult status. Critics expect a bloody, nostalgic ride, though legal disputes nearly derailed production. Catch it in theaters or on VOD by Halloween
