10 Horror Movie Mistakes You Can Never Un-see

4. Jeepers Creepers

2001’s Jeepers Creepers is an odd sort of film. Starting out as a Duel style thriller wherein a pair of siblings who are road-tripping cross country run afoul of an unseen, malevolent pick-up truck driver, the film takes a sharp left turn at the halfway mark.

Around the time that the audience finds out that said trucker actually has fangs, claws, and batwings.

But that genre shift isn’t what this list is here to discuss.

No, this mistake comes earlier in the film as the shadowy figure drops a human body straight down a drain pipe to dispose of it. Soon after, Justin Long’s plucky hero slides down after it to be certain of what he saw (great plan, A for effort). Landing at the bottom of the pipe on clear, empty ground, he walks a few paces before coming across a body…

So, did that dead body get up and walk those fifteen feet, or bounce its way along the ground, or what’s going on here??
