Lol I was just watching a documentary on youtube on Jaws from 2005, and Mr Murdy made an appearance there too.
A bit of Halloween related trivia; Dick Warlock, who was Michael Myers in Halloween 2 was Hooper's stunt double in Jaws. And a bonus tangent, the house in Van Nuys where they edited Jaws and filmed the Ben Gardner head popping out scene in the pool, is owned by a couple called the Myers. And the actor's name in the opening scene is Voorhees. Not half hanging for HHN lol.
I bet the shark was a deadite.
