Jeepers Creepers 5: First Official Trailer (2025)” – The Creeper Returns in a New Nightmare
Horror fans, brace yourselves — the Jeepers Creepers franchise is back with a vengeance. The first official trailer for Jeepers Creepers 5: First Blood dropped this week, and it promises a terrifying return to the world of the winged predator that haunts every 23rd spring. Directed by horror rising star Fede Álvarez, this fifth installment breathes new life — and new fear — into the long-running cult saga.
Set in a remote Appalachian town in modern-day America, Jeepers Creepers 5 follows a group of college students who stumble upon a forgotten local legend while documenting abandoned ghost towns. Unbeknownst to them, their presence awakens the Creeper from its slumber. With 23 days to feed, it begins its gruesome hunt — and this time, it's smarter, faster, and far more brutal.
The trailer opens with eerie silence: cracked roads, whispering winds, and decaying churches. Then comes the first sign — a scarecrow impaled with fresh blood. The chilling voiceover whispers: “Every 23rd spring… for 23 days… it hunts.” Cut to rapid-fire images — flashing red eyes in the dark, screaming victims, wings slicing through fog, and a desperate fight for survival. Fans will immediately recognize the Creeper’s iconic truck, now modified with deadlier traps.
The film introduces a new protagonist, Maya Brooks (played by Jenna Ortega), a skeptical journalist with a personal connection to the 2001 killings. Teaming up with survivor Trish Jenner (Gina Philips reprising her role for the first time since Jeepers Creepers 2), they seek to uncover the Creeper’s origins and finally put an end to its centuries-old curse.
With high production value, gritty visuals, and a return to the franchise’s darker roots, Jeepers Creepers 5 appears to be a terrifying reinvention. The trailer teases just enough blood and mystery to excite longtime fans, while promising fresh lore, deeper mythology, and relentless suspense.
Set for a Halloween 2025 release, Jeepers Creepers 5: First Blood could be the redemption the franchise has long awaited — a chilling new chapter where ancient evil takes flight once more. If the trailer is any indication, the Creeper is back, and it’s hungrier than ever.
