About this episode

This episode explores the legacy of JAWS and the ongoing fear of sharks in Amity Island.

Fifty years after the summer that made it infamous, Amity Island has turned its tragedy into a tourist brand — until a baited great white comes home to the same waters. Police chief Nora Brody and charter captain Sam Quint, grandchildren of the men who hunted the first shark, discover the town hasn't learned a thing, and that the ocean never forgets. An original present-day continuation exploring greed, inherited fear, courage, and the cold indifference of the deep. https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror #Jaws #AmityIsland #GreatWhiteShark #SharkWeek #PeterBenchley #StevenSpielberg #LegacySequel #HorrorFiction #CreatureFeature #SharkAttack #ManVsNature #SmallTownHorror EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ________________________________________ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website…
