Quoted By:
I drove through Elephant Butte, NM this week. It's the home of my former coworker at Exide David Parker Ray, "The Toy Box Killer" who was really a lot worse than a killer. When I'm driving through places, I always wonder, "Is there a cult here?" When I was driving through Elephant Butte, the answer was definitely yes.
On the highway there, I definitely got accosted by the people who were the inspiration for that movie Jeepers Creepers. Three trucks had off-brand trailers which looked like they had back facing eyes for windows. The malicious psychic energy was unmistakable. The leader of their convoy was pulling a rickety old horse trailer that had "RACE HORSES" written on the back in old-timey cursive so you would know what was in there and not think it was a gimp in a toy box or something.
Check this out though: the profile of the back of that off-brand trailer he was pulling was (((EXACTLY))) the profile of that old timey car they had in the movie Jeepers Creepers. That movie is definitely based on some IRL people in or around Elephant Butte, NM. They were all being dicks about speeding up to stop me from passing them, but when I was like 30 over the speed limit Mr Jeeper Creeper thought he should obey the municipal statutes instead of fucking with me. When I passed him, the driver of the lead vehicle appeared to be a slightly tanned white man with a shaved arm. Obviously he lifts casually.
Pic related, the wheel wells of the trailer stuck out just like the wheel wells on the front of this truck (but less so, so that the profile was the image of the Jeeper Creeper truck more so than its identical contour.) The trailer bowed out at the top just slightly, I guess to accommodate the horses' wide bodies in the original design, and that gave the whole back of the trailer the aggressive muscle profile of this pic truck bearing down on you. It was 100% unmistakable as a meme.
