Horror Happenings! – The original summer blockbuster, JAWS, celebrates it’s 50th anniversary by returning to theaters

Little known fact: I actually saw JAWS in the theater. My crazy-ass parents took me to it when I was a year old…and I fell asleep during it.

Therefore, I was certainly glad to read an article over at Bloody Disgusting that the film is getting a re-release this summer to coincide with it’s golden anniversary. The film serves as the genesis of the ‘summer blockbuster’, as many have tried and failed to replicate its tremendous success over the last 50 years.

My advice? Find a theater with good speakers. In addition to John Williams’ iconic soundtrack rightfully snagging an Oscar, the film also won an Academy Award for Best Sound.

JAWS is set to terrorize you all over again the week of August 29th. Click here to check out Bloody Disgusting’s original article.
