Victor Salava direcor jeepers creepers contreversy

[maxwell]

I was recently out renting movies when I came across Jeepers creepers. This movie brought to mind a heated discussion i had about the director of this movie at the time of the release of jeepers creepers 2. Director victor salva the director of jeepers creepers and jeepers creepers 2 was convicted of the sexual assualt and video taping of a 12 year old boy.

The boy actually was the star of salvas movie clown house, a favorite horror movie of mine as a child which I just actually found out he directed. For any body who's seen this film you know there is a really out of place brief nude scene by the lead actor who was actuallly the victim of salvas crime. I always found that scene weird and totally out of place. knowing what I know about him and what he did to that kid , I dont think i can ever whatch that movie again.

I argued about this in a messageboard discussion about what he had done and if people would not see the movie becuase of this. as a result I have never spent any money and will not spend any money on supporting any of his movies. I just wanted to know what you all think about it and if you would ever see his movies again in the theater after learning this.

Yeah, I saw Clownhouse a long time ago and noticed that the nude scene was a little random. But I didnt think much of it at the time. But hearing this news, the guy is a real sicko.

I will have to check out Clownhouse, bug fan of IT and Killer Klowns From Outer Space, looks like we have the Michael Jackson of directors.

[RetroScissorman]

I like IT (book was better though) and Killer Clowns from Outer Space was really funny. You dont see that everyday.

I hope they make Killer Klowns From Outer Space 2, rumour is it'll be out 2008!

I didnt know it did that well to actully make a sequel. 0_o
