If I may add a 'spin' to this that is scarier than seeing it on a lake. Back in 1975 when the film opened, I was living in Monterey, California. A group of friends and I went to see 'Jaws' at the only place it was showing which was a new, rather intimate 'art-house' cinema built on Monterey's 'Cannery Row'. It was built out, OVER the water, and I recall that it was somewhat set-back, away from the street and you had to walk wooden planks of, (perhaps), 50 feet to get to the Cinema. It was night, and it was the first and only time I visited that cinema. The auditorium was completely full, and the entire time the film was playing, I could hear the occasional creakings of the pilings underneath the floor, and knowing that right under my seat, was Monterey Bay. An experience that remains (to me), as vivid nearly 45 years later as it was that night!
