[Video] Every Kill from the ‘JAWS’ Franchise!
Nineteen humans and five sharks died in the Jaws franchise.
It all began with an unlucky young woman who went for a late-night swim on Amity Island. The very first scene in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws is perhaps the most iconic and horrifying opening sequence in the genre’s history, setting the stage for a masterpiece that has been making audiences terrified of the water ever since its release in 1975.
The sequels, well, they’re not quite as good. Three films came in the wake of Spielberg’s Jaws, and JoBlo’s latest video in their “Kill Counter” series highlights the gory mayhem in each of the series’ four installments. Between Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3D and Jaws: The Revenge, we got no shortage of shark attack scenes that range from deeply terrifying to unintentionally humorous.
One of my personal favorites? There’s a scene in Jaws 3D wherein a diver is eaten alive by the shark. It’s mostly filmed from INSIDE the shark’s mouth, and it’s pretty damn inspired. Other favorites include the estuary attack scene from Jaws, which is downright bone chilling, and of course, Quint’s last stand in the original classic.

The Broadway stage production of Paranormal Activity can’t wait to scare audiences and is acting accordingly; Deadline reports that the opening date has been bumped up several weeks.
Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Stage is coming to Broadway for a limited 20-week engagement. The first preview performance scheduled for Friday, August 14, at the August Wilson Theatre, remains in place. Now the play will officially open on Tuesday, August 25, moving up from its initial September 15 launch date.
The official synopsis: “James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are.”
Directed by Felix Barrett and written by playwright Levi Holloway, the stage show weaves “an original story inspired by the film franchise, Paranormal Activity reimagines the modern ghost story with an intimacy that only live theatre can provide.”
The Broadway production will follow a strictly limited pre-Broadway engagement in Boston at the Emerson Colonial Theatre from July 11 through July 30.
Both the Broadway and Boston casts will feature Cher Álvarez, Travis A. Knight, Shannon Cochran, and Andrea Syglowski. Understudies will be Caron Buinis, Caroline Hendricks, and Michael Holding.
Álvarez will play Lou, and Knight plays James.
Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Stage premiered at the Leeds Playhouse in the UK before transferring to the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End, where it received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination this year for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.
Original Paranormal Activity stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat attended the Paranormal Activity play last year, and they both shared their thoughts over on Instagram.
Katie Featherston raved, “What a truly fun night seeing the new Paranormal Activity at the Ahmanson Theatre! We had a blast- so scary and so fun. The design and production was amazing and the cast did a fantastic job. Congrats to all involved!”
There’s also a brand new movie on the way.
