JAWS and HOUSE: The Jaws movie was filmed in 1975. It was a very scary movie at the time. Especially for a certain middle school girl that lived near the beach and spent almost every weekend there. The whole thing was scary and suspenseful – they actually filmed part of Jaws 2 near me. Navarre and Destin to be precise. The original Jaws was much scarier than the second one since they had that cheesy shark in #2. In the first one, it was just the idea of the shark. Little flits and glimpses. Much more effective.
You may be asking, “Jillian, how does House fit into this scenario? Isn’t he an obnoxious doctor practicing nowhere near the shore?” I say, “Yes, yes, he is.” But if you watch the show, at the end is the phrase “That’s some bad hat, Harry.”
That is an exact quote from Chief Brody as played by Roy Scheider. He’s sitting on the beach watching for a shark attack. A man sits in front of him and blocks his view of the water. The man says something along the lines of, “You don’t go in the water, do you, Chief?”
Brody replies, “That’s some bad hat, Harry.” I guess the producers of the House show like Jaws, too. Listen for the line the next time you watch either one.

I always hear that, but never connected the two. Jaws scared the bejeezus out of me, still does when I watch it. It was the anticipation that made it so frightening. It’s really a great, great movie…even though I still have trouble going in water that isn’t a pool. *shivers*
