Victor Salva - he may not be beloved but his Jeepers Creepers films are popular despite the fact he's basically living out his fantasies of hurting young boys through them.

Prior to JC he was in prison for sexually assaulting a pre-teen boy on the set of one of his films about three men dressed as clowns terrorising a group of young boys one night.

Pisses me off how people give him and these films (which are s**t anyway) the time of the day...
