Would You Watch “Jaws” in the Water on an Inner Tube?

I absolutely love this.

Last week I read on Slashfilm that the upcoming shark-attack movie, The Shallowswill air on a special screen at a water park in Texas. Instead of sitting on plush chairs in a theater, the audience will be lounging in inner tubes. There won’t be an actual shark in the water, but my imagination would question that every time something brushes against my legs.

I used Jaws in the subject line because it’s more recognizable, but if you’ve seen Jaws, you know where all the scariest parts are. Imagine watching it for the first time while floating on water with absolutely no idea when the shark will attack. It would be terrifying!

Scary movies really get under my skin, so I rarely watch them, but if I were in Austin, I would be tempted to attend this special screening for the unique experience it’ll provide. Would you do it if you had the chance?

  1. I actually went to a screening of Jaws in college at our athletic center pool. it was a lot of fun but I definitely had to get out of the pool during the movie and get into the jacuzzi to watch because it was an olympic sized pool and you just never know what could be lurking down there… But i’d definitely recommend watching shark attack movies/ tv shows in a pool to anyone if you want a slightly terrifying, slightly hilarious experience!

    • Nelsy: That’s awesome! I can see why that would be scary–it sounds like it heightened the experience. 🙂

  2. We have a rec center with an Olympic-size pool near us that does these kinds of events a few times a summer. They call them “dive-in” movie nights, but they try to keep the films a little more family-friendly. They’ve done Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Caribbean before, but never Jaws to my knowledge. I’m not sure I’d be able to make it through that one! Or if I did, I’d be sure to bring these products along just for a laugh!
