Halloween Movies

One of my film professors classified Jaws as a sci-fi flick and not a horror flick. I tend to agree with him in that horror flicks deal with things that are supernatural and couldn't ever be explained by science and sci-fi flicks could plausibly happen now or in the future. But ultimately, what classification a movie is is neither here nor there to me.

One might argue that a lot of the things in Jaws couldn't happen, but I think a lot of it could. (Except didn't the shark growl at one point? Or did that happen in one of the craptacular sequels?)
