Jeepers Creepers and the 2000s

In 2001, Belcher was cast in the horror film “Jeepers Creepers” as the psychic Jezelle Gay Hartman, which was released to mixed reviews, but attracted a lot of positive interest from audiences, and became a commercial success earning a total of $59 million worldwide. The film is based on the song of the same name from 1938, following two siblings who become the target of a demonic creature. She was also set to reprise her role in the 2003 sequel “Jeepers Creepers 2” which would have her character hunting down The Creeper, however, their lines were later scrapped to focus more on The Creeper terrorizing a school bus.

In 2006, she was cast in the recurring role of attorney Caroline Julian in the series “Bones”, a show focused on forensic archaeology and anthropology, starring David Boreanaz as well as Emily Deschanel. Belcher would play the character for the show’s run, but and also had other projects in the meantime. Two years after starting her work in “Bones”, she produced her first film entitled “Lower Learning”.
