I've surfed for years and I'm still freaked out by sharks in the water.

The really good horrors always use Atmosphere, and tap into the really deep visceral fears. Hellraiser is scary on some levels, but day to day, humans havent really been too afraid of being ripped apart by cenobites. hell, by the time we came around, there werent even trilobites.
But getting eaten alive? especially by a shark? Thats a biggie. that is part of our wiring.
