…I think I'm trying to forget my childhood after my parents passed.
That's a great list!
I also have this fascination with Jaws: IV, maybe it was because I grew up next to a video store.
Edit to add: I never thought the Shark followed her, I just thought it was paranoia in her head.
It wasn't until I was in my 20's the Shark actually did follow her…
