Shadyside County, May 25, 2025 — The road to hell has never looked so elegant. Horror fans are losing their minds as the first trailer for Jeepers Creepers: Requiem Road drops online, marking a chilling and stylish revival of the long-dormant franchise. With Timothée Chalamet and Florence Pugh taking the lead, this 2025 reboot promises a blend of gothic tension, psychological dread, and blood-soaked terror.

🎥 A New Nightmare Begins

Set 23 years after the original trilogy, Requiem Road introduces us to Theo and Evie Wallace, a pair of estranged siblings reunited on a cross-country trip after their father’s mysterious death. As they drive through a forgotten stretch of Louisiana highway, their journey quickly descends into a nightmare of hallucinations, mutilated mile-markers, and crow-filled skies.

The trailer opens with a long aerial shot of an endless rural road, followed by a voiceover from Florence Pugh: “He comes when the road sings… and tonight, it’s howling.”

Flashes of imagery follow:

• A torn scarecrow blinking in the wind

• An ancient, rusted truck idling in the dark

• Chalamet’s character waking up covered in symbols carved into his skin

• A silhouette with wings spreading wide beneath a lightning-streaked sky

Then, the chilling return of that iconic sound — the Creeper’s scream.

🧠 What’s New?

• Director: Jennifer Kent (The Babadook) brings psychological depth and arthouse horror to the franchise.

• Tone: The film leans into Southern Gothic, with influences from True Detective and The Witch.

• Plot twist: The Creeper may no longer be alone. Trailer hints at a second creature, or possibly a cursed bloodline linked to Theo and Evie.

• Score: Composed by Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker), blending industrial screeches and melodic lullabies.
