Overview

Victor Ronald Salva (born March 29, 1958) is an American film director and screenwriter. The self-described protégé of Francis Ford Coppola, he is best known for writing and directing the horror films Jeepers Creepers (2001), Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003), and Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017).

In 1988, Salva was convicted of sexually abusing child actor Nathan Forrest Winters during the production of Clownhouse (1989), he also videotaped one of the encounters and was found to possess child pornography, though this was not publicized until 2006. Protests against his films soon followed, including boycotts organized by Winters. Despite this, he has continued to work in the industry and has made the films Powder (1995), Peaceful Warrior (2006), Rosewood Lane (2011), and Dark House (2014).
