too be fair - horror books/movies have been basing their stories on animals (albiet radiated mutated ones) for a long time before and since Jaws.
i doubt anyone could have forseen the impact that book would have (and even then - it would be forgotten if it wasnt for the movie)
this didnt happen with birds after hitchcocks film, would daphne du maurier deserve shit for it if it had ?
i know its a little diferent because birds dont look or act scary - and we know a lot more about them because they live in our environment ... but still ...
