  • Major problem, SHJ just scared people.

  • springheeled jack was unheard of in 1904

  • @Greenhelm64 i mean it was past his time

  • This creature reminds me on Jeepers creepers

  • Ugh, that permanently damaged the mythology behind springheeled jack in my mind forever. Thanks for nothing.

  • Awesome, someone took another interesting theme and used it to try and make the latest typical horror movie piece of shit. Creative people are so rare today

  • Springheeled Jack gives me the heebie jeebies. Even though i don't live anywhere near england, the thought of A devil like man who can breath fire and jump across rooftops like he was going for a jog. *shudders*

  • 0:56 Spring heeled Jack was not know for using Jack the Rippers Knife. They were not one in the same.

  • i think he was an extra dimensional window dropper, he exists or existed in another dimension and through some phenomenon or anomaly was able to manifest here. i think the jeepers creepers figure might have been based on its descrption a bit but obviously a composite character.

  • @TheDemigod82 An extra dimensional peeping tom, that's a great idea! Think I'll use it in a story myself. Thanks:)

  • @theScytheofGod yeah, let me know if u write anythin decent, actually i read online thats what he was in a q and a session allegedly thru e.m channeling wit higher evolved beings, it was called the cassiopaen experiment, which i stumbled on thru my interest in mothman

  • Thanks hunnyball87....found by accident! lookin for the tune but ta and i,ll track the film down.

  • there getting this mixed up with jack the ripper not spring heel jack

  • @drcropes47 thank you

  • Spring Heeled Jack never killed anyone, so that's just so much rubbish.

  • this movie is 100% pure rubbish

  • @theScytheofGod yes thats what i dont recall from when i read about him,I dont recall any account of him killing

  • This is a vague cobbling of Jack the Ripper/the Whitechapel murderer with the legend of Spring Heeled Jack. 2 become one, and both are reduced.

  • this isn't right. they are making spring-heeled jack look like a slasher-film character. So very cliche.

  • he was sum fucker jumping on them buildings oo fuck im l8 for work must take shortcut

  • Spring Heeled Jack was in newspapers back when he was apparently around so he may have been real but i'm not saying he was just that he could have been. Also he didn't kill anyone just scared them badly there were reports of people dying of fright but no direct killings he usually tore at womans dresses and breathed blue fire in people's faces.

    That's really all i've read about him so i'm sorry if i'm wrong.

  • "Spring Heeled Jack" is just an English urban legend. He never existed. he didn't terrorise or kill anyone.

  • Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeroooooo­oooooooooooooooy JENNNNNNNNNNNNKINS

  • There's some thing on the roof climeing down the chimney looking for silver plate and a throt to slit

  • clawed hands and fire breath not knives. come on people dlaws are creepier.

  • i liked the preadetor nemesis comic

    of course the real jack never killed.

  • Of course he was a killer... ow w8 a minute?

  • He only terrourised them, he never killed anyone. But I think the story of him will make a good horror movie.

  • Please tell us that this is a student film submission for a media course.

  • He didn't kill anyone did he?

  • There was a girl drowned at Jacobs island (Bermondsey) who was allegedly thrown into the water by him. That's the only death pinned on him.

  • Really? Interesting...Do you have any sources? I would love to read up on the story.

  • another Spring Heeled Shite production!!

  • Im still not sure is this a real movie or home made?

  • Some people just shouldn't make films. Shame as it's an interesting story.

  • Spring heeled jack would be turning in his grave at this atrocious looking piece of garbage.

  • Jack the ripper and spring heeled jack combined.

  • wow. A satanic, hooded serial killer. Not how I remember the story... but I'm going to have to watch this anyway. I love springheel jack. Did they just not have enough money to get a real costume for the monster. I imagined him kind of steampunk.

  • thank god that disney didn't get their hands on it

  • LAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • This looks retarded

  • Fail....spring heeled jack is much cooler then that hooded killer....

  • @RedZan so what its a film thets see u make it UTTER FAIL

  • @RedZan

    I'm with you. I must admit to being intrigued and excited when I saw there was movie about Spring-Heeled Jack, but I was soon dismayed by this rubbish. Spring-Heeled Jack works better if depicted like The Shadowman from the mid-80's revival of The Twilight Zone. This here just looks like a high school drama exercise.

  • @Chockarblock

    Yes that is so true...shadowman is that the one who lives under ones bed? If so then I have seen that episode too....I like.

  • @Chockarblock

    Yes that is so true...shadowman is that the one who lives under ones bed? If so then I have seen that episode too....I like.

    

  • @RedZan

    Yes, you are right.  The Shadowman lives under the boys bed and goes out at night. There are clips of this episode here on Youtube.

  • This is so amateur, dreadful rubbish.

  • In this book i have it says that "he cornered a 13 year old prostitute named Maria Davis on a bridge over Folly Ditch.He breathed fire into her face and hurled her into the stinking,muddy ditch below.The girl screamed terribly as the muddy waters claimed her."

    The book also mentions that the witnesses reported the incident to the police.Also the verdict at the inquest was "death by misadventure."

    Make of this what you will.

  • he murdered maria davis a 13 year old prostitue

  • What a load of tosh this is.. do your bloody research

  • He certainly never killed any1, was mainly a prankster, and a really cool character

  • A devilish prankster... He didnt kill anyone;

    But he did harm quite a few people.

  • Some of his acts were not far off from being a pervert? Or could these accounts have been exaggerated by the media especially in the victorian era?

  • This is un-factual and exploitative it's ridiculous. Did you just run your fingers through a phonebook and decide on a random monstrous phenomenon out of british history to make do for the fact that you couldn't compete with the many Jack the Ripper movies already on the market?

  • ...But, Spring Heeled Jack never Killed Any One.. Think You Mean , Jack the Ripper...? Spring Heeled Allegedly Died In 1867. He Was Never Even Around In the 1900's

  • he was actually most active in liverpool

  • Spring Heeled Jack never died anyway.

  • Good movie, but Springheeled Jack never killed anyone.

    He just frightened people, mainly women.

  • supposidly he killed one 13 year old prostitute

    but yes he was mailny a prankster of some sort.

  • @Vinnymonster2 yes youre right....

  • @Vinnymonster2

    A few people have tried to downplay the Spring-heeled Jack legend by claiming that he never killed anyone. But they are clearly not familiar with the case, because he murdered 13-year-old prostitute Maria Davis by tossing her off a bridge into Folly Ditch where she drown.

  • spring heeled jack never killed anyone, he was just scared people mostly, though he did attack one or two people.

  • he didnt kill dickhead, wikipedia him. he was only a menace who molested young women, he wasnt a murderer and are no cases of him even attempting murder. your getting mixed up with jack the ripper. idiot

  • I thought Spring Heeled Jack just scared people. I wasn't aware he killed anyone...

  • He didn't... He was written in police reports "as a man of loose morals who likely thinks of his crimes as nothing but a jest, and who acts not out of hatred, but out of Tomfoolery and Perversion against women." (Cite: London Police under Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Cowan) He assaulted, near raped, and inujured (never near fatally) several women, causing insanity that a few did not recover from, but he at no point killed, also he dressed in mainly white and red and did not use a knife.

  • a true nigguh

  • saw him last night

  • lol he killed one person thats it

    hes quite funny he just ran around and scared the fuck out of people jumping over shit pretty fun.

  • he didnt stab people he was a prankster with a really twisted sense of humour .. at the time they thought people died of shock and there were several cases of him allegedly breathing fire on people and jumping quite high. he was a rich guy who lived in london at the time and wasnt alien but just had bulgy eyes and was athletic (so could jump high) the end

  • Think you need to do your research before spouting utter bollox. Yes there was pranksters but come on how can someone jump like reported by many witnesses with original documentation to confirm it be a person way back then???

  • spring heeled jack was classified as a cryptid after some lady pulled of his cloak and discovered his alien-like apperance

  • wasn't the jeepers creeper monster based on this thing?

  • lol he didnt wear cloak like that, he killed one person, he was mischievios, and could run REALY FAST and jump REALY HIGH, this movie looks like a wasted oppistunity, at least he might come back if they ever make a skulldgery pleasent 2

  • did anyone actually find out or have an educated guess about what spring heeled jack was?

  • No, the British authorities including Scotland Yard nor the Queens Guards could stop him or capture him. Even though some of the stories have been sensationalized by the media, something or someone (with superhuman abilities) was stalking the streets of London! If you have time to do resaerch you'll come across other similar oddities around the world. Charles Forts books would be a great place to start if your intersted. I believe there titled: Lo! and the other is the Damned.

  • whoah!

  • Freddy vs springheeled jack

  • this movie looks awful, and he totally never killed anyone, just scared the shit out of a bunch of people, and slashed their clothing, and breathed flames at them

  • this film was really awful. music was pretty awesome though :)

  • ah the tale of good old jack some of you are wrong some partially wrong however here is how I heard the tale he had a metal egg shell looking thing on his head and had silver skin and that prostitute was not his only victim he would breathe blue flame and aparently would escape the gaurds by jumping the town wall

  • They say he could jump over buildings and was inpenetrable by bullets

  • actually the last reported sighting i found was in texas in 1986 i believe. an older woman came out of her house and noticed someone sitting ontop of her pecan tree. he jumped down, and i think if i remember correctly, slashed her clothes.

  • he never killed anyone im surprised someone else knows he only showed in strawberry spring. they say he has or someone like him has recently been seen in argentina.

  • Im planning on making a game about

    Spring Heeled Jack.

  • Comment removed

  • As is said, spring heeled jack never actually killed anyone, just tore womens clothes, terrified people and slapped people in the face. However the last reported sighting was not in 1904, but in the 1970's in sunderland i think it was where he was chased by several difference police forces.

  • He did kill someone, in a market place in london broad daylight many witnesses said that he appeared out of thin air and pushed a 13 yr old prostitute off of a bridge into a sewerage canal below, he stood at the top and watched her drown. look it up

  • ugh you guys don't know what your talking about, my dad is a historian and has done a lot of research about spring heeled jack! and he was a devil faced person who would attack women and would have red eyes and would breath fire but it was a blue flame meaning it was a fuel or vapour there has been modern "viewings" of him. one time was when police were chasing him and they ended up in garage where they corned him, they went inside and he was nowhere to be seen and there were no ways out.

  • this is jack the ripper not spring heeled jack

  • no sorry

    the ripper was a totally different case

  • completely...false....springhe­eled jack was like jack the ripper he only struck during strawberry spring....-_-

  • if this is the film (yea right) by a bunch of students !!!!!!!!!!!!! well I cant wait for the Merchendise to come out, the crap toy, the cheap chocolate.....maybe they should call it The spring heeled Crap!

  • I read so much about spring heel jack,so i wont be watching this film.Its nothing like the true story....

  • Haha I just wrote a feature screenplay based on SHJ and I PROMISE you it is better than this.

  • Excuse me, I quote several websites that say

    "One day in 1845, in full view of frightened onlookers, Jack tossed a prostitute off a bridge; she drowned in the open sewer below."

  • spring heeled jack never killed anybody he just scared the living shite out of loads of people

    he first appeared in 1837 in a bad area of london

    reportedly he was 7 ft tall wore an oil skin cloak and had a fish bolw on his head

    he appeared in 1878 at an army barracks and was shot at to no avail because he was reportedly wearing a metal suit

    last appeared in 1904 in liverpool on a church roof and bounded into a terrace neighborhood and dissapeared forever

    chilling story but classic horror

  • i'm glad i'm not the only one who knows the truth

  • oOXxDAVIDxXOo Springheel Jack was responsible for the death of a prositute in the Farnborough area.

  • he never killed her tho.this movie is about him killing people directly she died because of him he didnt actually kill her.

  • looks more like Jack the Ripper to me.

  • three things- lame lame lame

  • I think there were a number of differing legend stories about Spring Heeled but this looks a good produced low budget type movie like a blair whitch project film. The corny aspect actually may work better than a hollywood blockbuster! Is it on dvd?

  • DVD for sale on Ebay or from Powerplay in Eastbourne

  • Dammit! They stole my idea for making a movie about Spring-heeled Jack, but this version is lame. They should created it like they did with From Hell.

  • omg! wrong wrong wroooooooooooong! it waz in liverpool for god sake

  • spring heeled jack was in london :S

  • he was in both places one of the last reports was in Liverpool

  • that sucks and its a fact tht spring heeled jack never killed anybody,and hes from the 1800s not 1904.

    i know that doesnt really matter cause its only a movie but it feels nice when u know more than the peopel trying to make movies about it [:

  • Who is spring heeled jack? I'm just a sucker for curiousity. And when did Jack the Ripper strike? Oh, and don't worry. Real story bores people. That's why, like Sleepy Hollow, they spruce it up a bit. ( I think )

  • Lame.

  • did u do any research at all? this isnt how i imagine spring-heeled jack. hahaah "we're all gonna die aren't we"....

  • omg how disapointing is this! spring heeled jack would have been a good movie had it been based on the real events that happened. this is like Jack the ripper!

  • dood this is sum cheesy homemade video

    o by the way spring heeled jack never killed any one he only clawed them tore their clothes and spat fire in their faces

    and last time i checked he only did that to women...

  • afaik SHJ never killed any1

  • In the later years of the 18th century a strange person began to make himself known, he could appear from nowhere and dissapear just as quickly, and every time the police tried to catch him, he would jump away, to such heights that it was believed that he had springs in his boots hence 'spring heeled' jack was the name given by the newspapers, except for one small detail, spring heeled Jack never killed anyone, only gave them a fright or incapacitated them hope that helps pyro

  • he also had blood-red "eyes of hell" according to sightings

  • indeed, that and the ability to 'vomit blue flames' on his victims, many got the impressions he was a demon from hell given human form, there were many suspects as to who he was some of the credible, but he disapeared as quickly as he came so no one know who he was, an intruiging mystery

  • wow....looooooooooooooow budget

  • You can say that again!!!

  • okay this might be a stupid question to ask but who is spring heeled jack, sounds like a kangaroo??

  • LOL

  • I don't care what its called, good sir; this entity should not be called "Spring Heeled Jack". Its like calling someone who killed one person a "mass murderer".

  • It's the guy from Who Framed Roger Rabit, Judge Doom!!!

  • i been doing research on springheeled jack and i see stuff like this that in its own right is ok but when u tarnish and change the acts of the thing to suit the name u just start putting falce images into the ignorants in this world(such as GreatWhite1990 who has commented in reply when not seeking the facts himself)i hope the film gose down well i just hope people dont say when i ask them if they know about SHJ say yehh he killed ppl dident he

  • A bullet proof monster with metal claws and the ability to blow fire and jump like a 100ft that jumps people in the night sure as hell is more than enough to scare me!

  • springheel jack is the first modern costumed super-powered being

    in real live he outdated superman a 130 years

    and in the half a penny books a 101 years

    hugo hercules, Hugo Danner, and many vigilante`s like the The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Night Wind, The Scarecrow of, The Shadow, and Zorro by at least 70 years

  • I don't believe Spring Heeled Jack slashed his victims with knives; he brutalized his victims by clawing them and breathing fire into their faces.

  • yeah let that springheel jack creature fucking thing try and jump me ill fucking kill it if i get the chance

  • lol these types of movies make me laugh

  • this movie never came out did it

  • whats for sure is the descriptions you hear of him sound scary as shit, wouldnt wanna meet whoever sping heeled jack was.

  • he only killed once, but attacked loads of people, men and women.

    there are 4 more famous attacks though. one on an 18 year old girl outside of her home. another one on another 18 year old girl on a street in london. a third attack on some british army guards outside of a barracks. and fourth famous one, is the only time he killed(only one that is suposedly acknowleged as being perpetrated by him anyway) when he threw a prostitute into a river/sewage stream and she drowned :(

  • in fact he didn't kill any1. seen a documantary on him this evening on tv. he was concidered 2 be nothin more than a pervert coz he very rarely attacked men and ripped womens clothes and maybe gave them a slap at most. now every1's a little bit wiser.

  • He did kill people because he killed them and than jumped over houses(apparently,which is where he got the name spring heeled Jack).

  • And?

  • I know he killed a 13 year old prostitute and that may not have been intentional, but he certainly wasn't Jack the Ripper.

  • shj was a liverpool legend not london and had nowt to do with the ripper.he was seen by over 100 people jumping over rooftops on hope street after police gave chase when he frightened (NOT KILLED)several people.the sightings spanned quite a few centurys...read a book called the livrpool collenade and it will tll u all about the weird fucker.

  • wrong knobhead, he first appeared in london, then liverpool

  • ok ok a simple fucking contradiction would of done there was no need to use fucking profanities fuckinell is this what the fuckin world is fuckin coming to fuck fuck fuck....oh look i can swear too...fuck.

  • soz mate, didnt want to be an arse. bad day

  • He didnt even kill anyone

  • He did actually. He threw a 13 year prostitute of a bridge, the girl then drowned.

  • How the hell would anyone know that he did it if she died?

  • thats still a far cry from the murderer they make him out to be in this garbage.

  • I saw something about spring heeled jack the other night there.

  • Hey why they make him as killer in the past he was a hero I rmember my grndapa telling stories what he saw as a spring heeled jack saving peoples from fires and stuff this looks more like jakc the ripper

  • your grandpa was talking bullshit mate

    sorry to tell you that

  • Are you sure he wasn't talking about Pérák, the Spring Man of Prague, he was, basically, what you just said.

  • yeah perak thats what he called him

  • i read the legend of spring-heeled jack and it scared me shitless O.O

  • but he didnt kill anyone and it has just been exsaggerated over time, it was first just a man playing a practical joke, then has been copycatted over time.

  • Spring Heeled Jack is the original Batman.

  • amen

  • this looks friggin' great!!! awesome job in regard to a fascinating legend!!! i have a question, though, and maybe i'm all ass-backwards about springheel jack, but is it true that he, like the mad gasser of mattoon, never killed any of his victims?

  • yeah I'm pretty sure thats what I remember too...no deaths

  • Yes, he never killed any of his "Victims". But he did scare the living daylights out of them and apparantly had the power to vomit white-blue flames....

  • no there is one death i know of attributed to him in 1845. a thirteen year old prositute, called Maria Davis, who he spat blue fire at and then chucked her in a sewer where she drowned

  • good job at least finally somebody looked it up i was about to tell em though

  • Why did you choose the 'Spring heel'?

  • It was the name that was given to the figure this movie is based on over a hundred years ago in England, not the creation of Honeyball87

  • it is the creation of Honeyball87 well him and his brother i no cos i know them and if you look on the website you will see that it says Director/ Writer/ Editor WILLIAM HONEYBALL

    Producer BEN HONEYBALL

  • Spring Heeled Jack is an old legend from London.

  • Best one so far!
