About Victor Salva in brief
Victor Ronald Salva is an American filmmaker. He is best known as the writer-director of the horror films Jeepers Creepers and Powder. Salva’s filmmaking career has been controversial due to his 1988 conviction for sexually abusing a 12-year-old actor who starred in his feature film debut, Clownhouse. This controversy has led to protests against his films, including a boycott of Powder organized by his victim. His family disowned him at 18 when he came out as gay to his mother and stepfather.
He worked as a telemarketer during the week and wrote scripts during the weekend, supposedly delivering them to well-known producers while posing as a delivery boy. He was sentenced to three years in state prison, of which he served 15 months. After his release, he did not make another film for five years. He returned to the horror genre in 2001 and wrote and directed the films Dark House and Peaceful Warrior.
