Jaws Could Have Been Even More Terrifying

This is a deleted scene from “Jaws,” showing the shark killing little Alex Kintner. It wasn’t the only one, as producers feared “going too far” in the ground-breaking horror film.

“The initial plan, detailed in a making-of documentary contained on the Jaws Blu-ray release, was to show the shark actually emerging from the water to eat the child. A dummy was made to stand in for the actor portraying Alex. Likely because it involved the ghastly death of a child in an already intense (and occasionally upsetting) movie, the sequence never made the final cut, although still images from it are floating around online.” H/T>
