JEEPERS CREEPERS MOVIE SONG SERIES
In this cartoon, Porky is afraid of ghosts, yet in a series of cartoons with Sylvester by Chuck Jones (" Scaredy Cat", " Claws for Alarm", " Jumpin' Jupiter") he is oblivious to all the scary things going on, and instead Sylvester is shown as the scared one.Overseas Cartoon Network channels (as seen on the picture in the Gallery section) have aired a computer colorized version, which leaves the offending scene intact, but, curiously, doesn't colorize the blackface ghost (except for the tongue). On Cartoon Network in America (save the versions shown on Late Night Black & White and The Bob Clampett Show), the cartoon ended with an abrupt black-out as Porky's car blows exhaust in the ghost's face.On Fox's Merrie Melodies Show, the cartoon ends after Porky drives past the ghost, who is trying to hitchhike.On Nickelodeon, the cartoon used a fake iris-out to abruptly end the cartoon after Porky's car blows exhaust in the ghost's face.The syndicated showings of the redrawn version showed the actual ending, but had the ghost in purple face so the blackface joke would be less offensive.The actual editing of the ending (where the ghost, after getting exhaust smoke blown on him, is left in blackface commenting "My, oh my! Tattletale Gray!") has been done in different ways:
JEEPERS CREEPERS MOVIE SONG TV
This cartoon was shown as a colorized version (either redrawn from the 1960s or computer-colorized in the 1990s) on syndicated airings on local TV channels, on American Cartoon Network compilation shows outside of "The Bob Clampett Show" and "Late Night Black and White" (i.e., The Acme Hour, The Looney Tunes Show, and Bugs and Daffy), the "Merrie Melodies Show" (FOX Network edition, not syndicated), and on Nickelodeon so the ghost would be opaque and yellow.
The shoes soon get stuck around a coat rack, and eventually a jacket or blanket gets draped over it, making it resemble a figure dressed in a pure black cloak. He puts two frogs into a pair of shoes and puts them down to make it seem as if someone is following Porky. Porky sneaks around while trying to determine what may be going on and the ghost hides in a random room. He imitates a woman and tells Porky to come in, then vanishes. Quickly getting downstairs, the ghost sees Porky outside of the door. He switches songs and quickly takes a bath, when he hears someone knocking. He sings for a moment and screams and makes noises all of the sudden before resuming. He eats the smoke rings like donuts with his coffee. He turns off the radio, then resumes smoking his cigar.
Inside, a bunch of noise is coming from the ghost listening to spooky radio show. He is warned to be careful, as there may be some ghosts at the house.Īt the location, a bunch of strange goings-on occur throughout the house. One late evening at the Podunk City Jail, a report is sent out to the car Porky drives. The title is from the song (performed by the ghost) "Jeepers Creepers", from the Warner Bros.
