      They screened Jaws a couple years ago on Lake Austin, with the audience in innertubes. I think they had divers swimming around and grabbing at peoples ankles during the scary bits. You don't want to know what they did during the screening of Deliverance.....

    they decided against showing Titanic, event though its possible a few viewers may have survived by clinging to the inflatable rig.
