Why is this so expensive?

I think the movie has gained some undeserved "collectors value" on the market. The question is why, is it because of the dark story behind making this movie or because of the half naked boys shown in the movie?
Even if I was a collector of rare movies I would never buy this...it's morbid. And quite frankly, sick.

I bought mine in 2005 and paid only 10 bucks on Overstock.com for it. Seeing other sites selling it for far more, I ended up ordering 2 copies. Despite the director's lewd past, I have had the pleasure to meet him and yeah while watching this movie is enough to make you feel sick, I think that ultimately works to the film's advantage. I admit that I viewed this film for the first time completely unaware of the director's past. The film was so good and creepy that I watched it over and over and over again. It became the next horror movie I'd show off to all my friends. Looking back to it, I did find it INCREDIBLY weird that I had completely missed the scene where Casey stands up and his ass is plainly visible during several of those re-viewings but one time with friends and it was burned into my memory. Even now, that scene seems like it just has no reason to be there.

I never had the gall to tell my friends that the director WAS (and perhaps in some deep dark place still is) a pedo, especially when Jeepers Creepers was coming out. That was when my moral dilemma kicked in. Advocate a genuinely creepy and scary movie or condemn it because the director had one major trangression 15 years ago that affects me in no way, shape or form? The choice was quite clear.

As an artist, I know sometimes I may do things that general society may find unacceptable and yeah it may be so bad that it ruins my life but does that mean I should stop trying to show that I'm more than just what I'm being condemned as to my constituents? Hell no and Victor is right in trying to move forward with his life and not letting something that happened well over 20 years ago continue to get him down. He suffers everyday in his head, a place far worse than your mouth. Nathan Winter's mother has already stated that she has moved on from this and that as long as Victor stays away from her family, she doesn't mind what he does with his life. Nathan isn't around that I can find him for any comments. If she can move on, why are we still stuck 20 years in the past?
