It's far more likely that the creeper was simply inspired by Pennywise based on how many similarities they share and how influential Stephen King's novel has been on various works of horror. The monsters do share feeding habits, behaviors, and hibernation patterns, but they are in no way the same type of creature.
In 1990, Michigan resident Dennis DePue was the target of a police manhunt after he murdered his wife and disposed of her body behind an abandoned schoolhouse.
The Creeper is the titular main antagonist of the Jeepers Creepers horror film franchise. He is an ancient demonic creature who feeds on human beings for 23 days every 23rd spring. He was portrayed by Jonathan Breck in all three films. In Jeepers Creepers: Reborn, he was portrayed by Jarreau Benjamin.
In Jeepers Creepers' ending, Trish offered to take her brother's place. This proved that she was not afraid of dying and thus ironically detracted from her appeal to the monster. The Creeper didn't just want to kill and eat people but specifically wanted to feed on their fear.
For those unfamiliar with the film, “Jeepers Creepers” is based around “The Creeper,” a mythical beast that kills humans to harvest their organs every 23rd of March. The reason it does this is to replace the ones that are rotting away on the creature's body.

Why does Jeepers Creepers come back every 23 years?
As for how he operates, it thankfully mostly lives in hibernation, coming out only every 23rd spring, and hunting for 23 days. To sustain itself, The Creeper needs to harvest organs from humans, and use them to replace whatever happens to be failing inside its own body.
Powerless superhero's like Batman and iron man, with prep time, could use their gadgets to somehow stop the regeneration of the monsters limbs(plus, Batman is way too fast and cautious for The Creeper. The monster would never be able to sneak up on him). Also, Jeepers Creepers could be beaten by conventional weapons.
The real-life eyewitnesses, Ray and Marie Thornton, who saw DePue dumping the body, provided the primary source material for the true crime-based story in Jeepers Creepers.
While the first two Jeepers Creepers films came and went without much incident, an interesting thing had happened by the time Jeepers Creepers 3 came around: the rise of the internet and social media. This greatly complicated things, for the following reason: director Victor Salva is a convicted pedophile.
If Reborn sounds so-bad-it's-good, think again: it's an utterly painful affair, its 87-minute runtime feeling three times the length. The acting is atrocious, the directing is inept, and the dialogue beyond stupid. The only things worse than clichéd setups are clichéd setups with no payoffs.
The Creeper has the ability to regenerate any part of his body by devouring a similar part from a victim. In this manner, he has survived for centuries, replenishing his deteriorated body by feeding on humans for replacement parts.
Background. In the film Going Places, Louis Armstrong sang the song to a racehorse named Jeepers Creepers. The phrase "jeepers creepers", a minced oath for "Jesus Christ", predates both the song and film. Mercer said that the title came from a Henry Fonda line in an earlier movie.
What Makes It Pure Evil? While it is unclear if it has to eat people and replace its body-parts every 23 years to stay alive, the Creeper nevertheless proves incredibly sadistic. It often smiles evilly and has a sign reading "House of pain" over its lair.
The Creeper took out most of them at a manor, but Laine ended up baiting him, presenting an opportunity to kill her. It turns out she had a psychic connection, with the Creeper revealing that if he ate her fetus, he'd become immortal.
Jeepers Creepers is a perfect example of a cheesy horror movie that is so bad it's good. The movie follows Trish (Gina Philips) and Darry Jenner (Justin Long), college-aged siblings who don't get along very well. They seem to tolerate each other's company as they drive home for spring break.
While driving home from college on deserted rural roads, Darry (Justin Long) and Trish (Gina Philips) become the prey of a terrifying supernatural creature. Francis Ford Coppola served as the executive producer.
Jeepers Creepers 3 is a 2017 American horror film written and directed by Victor Salva and the third film in the Jeepers Creepers film series, taking place in between Jeepers Creepers and Jeepers Creepers 2.
This fourth entry in the slasher franchise erases the previous three (they're "fictional," while this is the "real thing"), but it's so abominably bad that it, too, deserves to be erased for good. Jeepers Creepers: Reborn begins with a strangely acted prologue -- surprising, given that it features.
Jeepers creepers came into fashion in the United States in the 1920s or 1930s as an alternative to exclaiming “Jesus Christ!” That makes it something called a minced oath, which is a euphemistic version of a profanity.
However, Darry is shown to possess so much fear after he escaped the church's basement. This probably was the reason the Creeper sought for the siblings. The Creeper was more drawn to him rather than it was to Trish, the fear telling it that it needed the eyes that saw its "House of Pain".
The license plate on his truck reads "BEATNGU" ("Be Eating You"). The truck can attain unusually high speeds (at least 100MPH) despite its decrepit exterior.
The Creeper, it seems, comes out every 23 years to kill and eat people. He's not a man, but he dresses like one, and he eats humans for the purpose of assimilating and utilizing their parts.
She tells them the true nature of their pursuer: It is an ancient creature, known as "the Creeper," which awakens every 23rd spring for twenty-three days to feast on human body parts, which then form parts of its own body.
