On this day in Horror History, Jaws made its theatrical debut. Opening on 409 Screens across the United States, in a mere 78 days it would become the highest grossing film of all that preceded it. Considered to be one of the most quintessential motion pictures of the last century, Steven Spielberg embedded an ever-present terror into the minds of movie goers worldwide.
“Mr. Vaughn, what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that's all.” –Hooper
