The production hit a snag last year when The Union of British Columbia Performers issued a warning to talent agencies about the illicit past of directorVictor Salva, who, in 1988, pleaded no contest and was convicted for engaging in oral sex with a minor who worked on his horror thrillerClownhouse. Once the casting company heard about the director’s past, it prompted Breakdown Services to remove the casting call forJeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral, which lead to the production moving from Vancouver to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.Adrienne Barbeauis best known for her work inThe Fog,Escape From New York,Creepshowand many more.
