Jonny Young is one of the teenagers who was in the bus in Jeepers Creepers 2. He was the youngest player on the basketball team. When the group of students decided to leave the bus, Jonny stayed behind and closed the doors. Sure enough, the Creeper returned, and the students attempted to make it back onto the bus, only to discover the doors were locked. They all pounded on the windows for Jonny to let them in, but he refused so they can lead the Creeper away.
Later, he lets another student, Chelsea Farmer, back on the bus and hide. Bucky also returned by jumping through the hole of the roof. The two try to keep their distance from Bucky since the Creeper is interested in him. The Creeper returns and attempts to grab Bucky, but Jonny and Chelsea do not attempt to save him and allow the Creeper to take him. Luckily for Bucky, however, he is saved by the arrival of the Taggarts, as the Creeper is forced to drop Bucky as he engages in a battle with Jack Taggart Sr. The three watched helplessly inside the bus as Jack Sr. battles the Creeper. The bus was flipped over violently, but they manage to stay in one piece.
He rides with the Taggarts, along with Chelsea, Bucky and Minxie. They arrive in time for Deaundre "Double D" Davis to be rescued as Jack, Sr hits the Creeper, who subdued Dee, with a harpoon to the forehead. Jonny watches along with everyone else as Taggart, Sr. repeatedly stabs the Creeper in hopes of killing it.
However, the Creeper instead goes into hibernation and Jonny is last seen with Chelsea, Bucky, and Jack, Jr. standing over the now-hibernated Creeper. He is possibly reflecting on how he is one of the survivors and realizing with him might be the only survivors of the night. Whereas the others he locked out of the bus might not have survived.
Personality[]
Jonny is a weak and selfish coward. When the other's left the bus, he locked them out and refused to let them in, knowing they would lead the Creeper away. This was further demonstrated as when Bucky returns, he shows no remorse for his actions and, along with Chelsea, try to force Bucky away since he is one of the Creeper's targets. He does not even attempt to save Bucky when the Creeper came back to the bus to capture Bucky again.
Trivia[]
- Despite Jonny being a coward, the Creeper did not seem to show any interest in him which contradicts how the Creeper hunts people based on their fear.
- It is possible that Jonny has a romantic interest in Chelsea, as he lets her back on the bus when she made it back alone. This can be argued, however, that it is because he knows she is not one of the Creeper's selected targets.
- After Scotty was the last to get off the bus with everyone, the squeaking sound of the bus doors being shut can be heard the second he is out of the bus.
- In a deleted scene, the bus was stranded at night and the adults already get abducted. In this scene, Jonny needed to pee and was given a bottle. He constantly looks out the window while considering to pee in the bottle and is the first to see the Creeper out there in the fields watching them and then vanishing when he makes a double take.
