Example:The figure in the darkened doorway was as quiet as the grave, and when it moved, it felt like a truck on a dirt road. 'Jeepers Creepers, ain't that enough to get the hair on the back of your neck to stand up?' Missy said, trying to seem casual. (From a novel ‘Jeepers Creepers’ by John Feast)

Definition:Another resized (more obscure) version of the original expression, often found in horror movies for effect. Jeepers are a pair of creepy, crawly, or otherwise ghastly things.
