Plot

Three days after the events of the first film, a young boy named Billy Taggart helps his father, Jack Taggart Sr., erect scarecrows in a cornfield. As Billy makes his way through the field, the Creeper, disguised as one of the scarecrows, abducts him in front of Taggart and Billy's older brother, Jack Jr. The following day, a school bus carrying a high school basketball team and cheerleaders suffers a blowout. The chaperones inspect the tire and find it torn apart by a hand-crafted shuriken seemingly constructed from fragments of bone. Back on the Taggart farm, Jack finds a dagger dropped by the Creeper. Upon showing it to his father, the weapon inexplicably flies out of his hand on its own accord.
On the bus, cheerleader Minxie has a vision of Billy and Darry Jenner, the Creeper's victim from the first film, who both attempt to warn her about the Creeper. The Creeper then blows out another tire, disabling the bus. With the party stranded, the Creeper attacks, abducting the coaches and the bus driver. After unsuccessfully attempting to enter the bus, it singles out Minxie and some of the other occupants: Dante, Jake, Scotty, Bucky, and especially Double D. Eventually, Minxie collapses and has another vision in which Darry explains the Creeper's nature: that every twenty-third spring, for twenty-three days, it emerges from hibernation and hunts for victims, from whom it selects specific organs and body parts which it then consumes in order to replace those of its own.
After hearing numerous police reports, which imply that the authorities are aware of what is going on, the Taggarts decide to investigate. After Taggart establishes radio contact with the students, the Creeper resumes its attack and kills Dante, using his severed head as a replacement for its own. The students leave the bus, and the Creeper chases them across a field, killing Jake and taking Scotty. During the chaos, Taggart and Jack intervene, but both parties' vehicles are destroyed. The Creeper attacks Double D as he attempts to escape in another vehicle. The car is intentionally crashed, wounding both the Creeper and Double D. Before the Creeper can eat Double D, Taggart, Jack, and the other students arrive and shoot it in the head with the harpoon, while Taggart repeatedly stabs it. Before it can die, the Creeper goes back into hibernation.
Twenty-three years later, a group of teenagers drive to Taggart's farm, where the Creeper is a sideshow attraction. They notice Taggart watching it with a harpoon gun at his side. When they ask him if he is waiting for something, Taggart looks up at the Creeper and says, "About three more days, give or take a day or two."
