No wonder the movie Jaws had a lasting effect on me.

Released in 1975 - I was 13 when I saw it.
To this day I never go in the ocean where I can not see the bottom.
I imagine a shark coming up from the depths and engulfing me.

The last vacation I had, in 1988, was to Florida and I couldn't get up the nerve to go into the ocean until the last day I was there. And I had never seen Jaws. Just the idea of it was scary enough!
