13 aquatic horror movies to celebrate Shark Week
Shark Week, the annual weeklong block of shark-based television hosted by the Discovery Channel since 1988, is upon us once again. What at first began as a novelty marketing tactic designed to lure viewers in to watch television during the summer months morphed into a full-on cultural phenomenon in 2006 with Tracy Morgan’s iconic “Live every week like it’s Shark Week” line on 30 Rock, spawning a frenzy of imitators and a plethora of outlandish movies alike that channel the exploitative terror of fanged underwater predators first conjured and perfected by Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and transforming it into guilty-pleasure horror fodder for the whole family.
