After the phenomenal success of Jaws, other filmmakers smelled the blood in the water, making horror movies that essentially rip off the original film. So this week, John and I take a look at some of our favorite Jaws rip-offs! There's more sharks, killer whales, alligators & crocodiles, piranha, and even a grizzly bear! Plus we discuss how these films drew inspiration from historical events, cryptozoology, Forteana, and urban legends, like the shark attacks in Matawan Creek, New Jersey, and the alligators in the sewers of New York City! Are these rip-offs? Homages? Or simply inspired by Jaws? Let us know what you think in the comments!🎥 Join us as we break down these horror classics and debate whether they were trying to cash in on Jaws' success or were just trying to survive in the same monstrous waters!👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more paranormal horror content and deep dives into cryptids, Forteana, and urban legends!#Jaws #HorrorMovies #JawsRipoffs #Cryptozoology #UrbanLegends #CreatureFeatures #SharkMovies #KillerWhale #Alligator #GrizzlyBear #Piranha #MatawanCreek #LakePlacid #MonsterMovies #HorrorFans #ParanormalTimestamps:3:59 -Jaws and it's Themes, Inspirations, and History10:51 - Orca: The Killer Whale21:47 - Jaws 233:03 - Piranha42:00 - Alligator49:55 - Lake Placid1:00:09 - GrizzlyLinks!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : [email protected] Store: https://oddanduntold.creator-spring.comFourth of July Horror Movies | Episode 54: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMynRYjsa64&list=PLNvcUb_Ry1wlWEXyTftFho3goRMvGZi8a&index=9&t=7sThe Loveland Frogman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngy79D6P-C8&list=PLNvcUb_Ry1wmiwr6DOG79cKNrIXZHihFU&index=22&t=1140sGoatman and Similar Urban Legends | Episode 107: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA4uWN7D7rU&list=PLNvcUb_Ry1wmiwr6DOG79cKNrIXZHihFU&index=7&t=238sCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/
