You Can Experience ‘Jaws’ While Floating on Open Water This Summer—Yikes!

Attention, water enthusiasts! If you’re a fan of classic horror films and love a good adrenaline rush, Beachside Billy’s in Leander, Texas, has a unique summer experience for you. Picture this: you’re floating on an inner tube in a lake, watching the iconic movie “Jaws.” Sounds thrilling, right? For someone like me, who gets anxious at the mere thought of seaweed brushing against my skin, it’s a hard pass. That film instilled a fear of water in me—if something brushes against you, it’s probably a shark (or maybe just a harmless clump of seaweed, but who’s counting?).

While it’s true that this event isn’t taking place in the ocean, lakes can hide their own share of surprises. The idea of watching a great white shark terrorizing beachgoers while my toes dangle over the dark water is enough to send shivers down my spine. Did I mention that it’s dusk? What fun!

According to a quirky promotional video, scuba divers will be lurking in the water during the screening, using red lights to add an extra layer of fright. Sounds like a recipe for my first heart attack! Or perhaps a moment of public embarrassment when I accidentally kick a scuba diver in the shin during a panic attack.

This thrilling event is set to run every weekend this summer. For an admission fee of $55, you’ll receive a themed inner tube and a pint glass adorned with “Jaws” imagery, all while watching the film. Is the price worth the risk of a potential aquatic scare? (I get it’s just a lake, but open water is open water—who knows what could be lurking beneath the surface?)

While many might find this experience exhilarating, I’m not one of them. Let’s hope this doesn’t become a nationwide trend because my partner would undoubtedly drag me along.
