You don't have to be a fan of horror to know that director turned piece of shit Victor Salva is a walking used tampon. I'll save you some time from googling this by telling you that he is a convicted child molester who also directed the three Jeepers Creepers films. Some argue that he did his time and paid his dues while other's stand by their "once a piece of shit always a piece of shit" mantra. Regardless of where you stand on the debate we can all admit that what Salva did was horrible and nothing can be done to redeem him.
Our story today actually follows horror fan Tracy Daniels from Ottawa. Tracy grew up watching horror films with his grandmother and when she passed he inherited the home. Now Tracy lives there alone and has no real friends. He relies on social media for his social interactions but struggles to find common ground among Facebook users his age. To spice up his Facebook he has resorted to a tactic now being called Salvabaiting. Lonely horror fans often go to horror groups on Facebook and post a still, poster, or trailer to one of the Jeepers Creepers films typically with no context. If they do write something its something simple along the lines of "what are your thoughts on this film" or "I love this film, what do you think?" These individuals then wait an extended period of time which is usually 12 hours or so and if the admin of the group hasn't deleted the post they will return to read the comments from their "friends." "I know the film is a hot button topic among horror fans" Tracy told Horrorable News. "Honestly, I hate the movie but its the best way for people to notice me. This is the horror community's version of the unsolicited dick pic and it works. I can go days or even weeks without a notification and when I check my phone after waiting 12 hours from the initial post I can have anywhere from 300 to 500 notifications and at least several dozen messages from members in the group."
This tactic has worked on several levels for Tracy. Not only does he get the attention he seeks but he has uncovered a secret Facebook group consisting of others that share controversial posts looking for attention. "I found brothers and sisters and I didn't know I had by sharing a Jeepers Creepers trailer every 6 months in horror groups. We spend hours talking about horror and ourselves" Tracy commented.
