The Jeepers Creepers franchise is returning this September for a special three-day fan event. Beginning on September 19, The Creeper returns to its hunt in Jeepers Creepers: Reborn and Screen Media has just released the full trailer. The film will play only in theaters through September 21, with a brand-new cast of victims.

Directed by Tom Vuorensola, Jeepers Creepers: Reborn takes place in a small town in Louisiana where the first-ever Horror Hound Festival is taking place. In the trailer, we get a re-up on the local lore of The Creeper by horror fanboy Chase (Imran Adams), who has convinced his girlfriend Laine (Sydney Craven) to tag along with him to the festival. On the way, he explains that, according to the legend, The Creeper returns every 23 years to feed. Unfortunately for Chase and Laine, The Creeper feeds off of fanboys and their girlfriends. The festival turns out to be a carnival-esque set-up with erratic fans, freakish attractions and a Creeper Draw that awards the winners with a nightmarish prize. The winners receive a Creeper-themed escape room for two, and low and behold, Laine and Chase are the lucky couple. Unfortunately, it seems like the scares may be a little too realistic when The Creeper itself turns up to terrorize.

Loosely based on the original 2001 film Jeepers Creepers starring Justin Long and Gina Philips, Reborn seems to take a few liberties as far as storyline. While the sequel and threequel took place within days of the original film, Reborn doesn't make it clear where on the timeline it stands. The first movie also took place in rural Florida, whereas the Horror Hound Festival is held somewhere in Louisiana. Perhaps the most surprising deviation of all, The Creeper is no longer played by the original alum Jonathan Breck who has portrayed the evil entity in all three of the previous films, but instead, the antagonist is reborn as Jarreau Benjamin.

Reborn director Vuorensola is best known for his work on 2012's bizarre satire Iron Sky and its 2019 follow-up Iron Sky: The Coming Race. Vuorensola has a handful of projects he is attached to direct, either currently in the works or announced, for fans to check out after Reborn, including a genetics vs. technology sci-fi Project Darwin, a hijack thriller titled 97 Minutes starring Alec Baldwin and Jonathan Rhys Meyers and what appears to be a prequel to his Iron Sky movies The Ark: An Iron Sky Story. Reborn is written by Jake Seal and Sean-Michael Argo (Cleric), and is produced by Michael Ohoven and Seal.

Jeepers Creepers: Reborn will be released in theaters only for a three-day fan event, starting September 19 through September 21. Check out the trailer and official synopsis below:

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.
