The Ocean. It's loving terrifying. Like really really scary. We know more about the surface of the moon than the bottom of the ocean. So when an artistic medium that thrives on building tension like film arrives, it's automatically scarier to have any situation occur, but in the water. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtiAlG3gCzQ Divers At Work On The Wreck Of The Maine, dir. Georges Méliès (1898) Not to say that there aren't some impressively "horny-for-a-fishman" movies as well  Creature from the Black Lagoon, dir. Jack Arnold (1954) Literally the greatest horror film ever made is about just how loving terrifying the water is:  Jaws, dir.

William Eubank (2020) What is it about the Deep that scares us so? Is it simply pressure+dark+creatures that makes it so compelling? Talk about your favorite water pictures here!
