FrightClub watch party screens Ghost Shark for Bad Shark Week

moviesJul 9, 202627349

FrightClub hosted a Bad Shark Week watch party screening Ghost Shark (2013), inviting viewers to "dive in" and post along starting at 10 PM ET. The host noted Ghost Shark is available on Tubi and Prime. Participants repeatedly flagged Richard Moll's appearance, with several posts calling his cameo a highlight and one poster noting they had forgotten he had died. Viewers joked about the film's excesses, praising the "Slip 'N Shark" moment, mocking dated cell phones, and suggesting outlandish fixes such as nuking the shark from orbit or invoking Sam and Dean. Multiple commenters observed the movie borrows from Italian Jaws rip-offs, with one post naming The Last Shark as an example tied to the Cruel Jaws conversation. Several posts also called out the movie's dark turns, including two child deaths, and others admitted they fell asleep or watched while stoned rather than live-posting.

It's another day in #BadSharkWeek for #FrightClub Wednesday with Ghost Shark (2013). Available on Tubi, Prime, and more. Dive in and post along, starting at 10 PM ET! All are welcome. What kind of unfinished business could a shark have?

Ghost Shark came out around the same time as Sharknado and is a much better campy shark movie and it's a shame that the latter became viral and this didn't.

@frightya.bsky.social Man, this better not be stoopid! #FrightClub

This is a must-see classic that I admittedly entirely missed the first time around. I can see that I now need to find time to watch it so I can complete my classical education.

Did I miss OUIJA SHARK?

Is this the movie where a ghost shark kills someone through a mop bucket filled with water? 😆 I think this was featured before. Not complaining cuz it was a fun watch if it’s what I’m thinking about. #FrightClub

I’m eating honey peanut butter and jalapeño jelly, on a portion of a French bread loaf. Gearing up for Ghost Shark tonight on #FrightClub Info below, come on by as we dive into #BadSharkWeek

It always shocked me this didn't become more of a widespread favorite, considering how wonderfully crazy it is. But maybe its time has finally come. 🤞

So, the description on Tubi says this movie steals from Italy's goriest Jaws rip-offs. And now I need to know the names of these films. Cause an Italian director, posing as an American director, ripping off Italian ripoffs is something. #FrightClub #CruelJaws #BadSharkWeek

L’ Última Squalo is the best Italian Jaws ripoff. It’s a perfect ripoff #frightclub

Steals? It’s an homage. The helicopter line was the most clever nod to the original. #FrightClub #CruelJaws

Leonardo Decapitator5

I know the big one is L’Ultimo Squalo.

I missed #FrightClub tonight but I know one of the movies #CruelJaws took footage from was The Last Shark, a movie that was such a blatant Jaws ripoff Universal successfully sued to prevent its U.S. release #BadSharkWeek

That's not what I meant!2

The only one I can think of is "Devil Fish," which is more of an octoshark... or sharktopus.

I have forgotten that Richard Moll had passed away. I always remember the episode of Night Court when poor Bull cried when Selma died…. #randomthoughts #frightclub

That 'Slip 'N Shark' bit is the apotheosis of cinema. It's everything film is meant to be. #FrightClub #GhostShark

"We don't need chum. We are the chum" See? This movie has depth. It's a perfect metaphor for having a job in the 2020s. Very prescient work of art. #FrightClub

No way Bull from Night Court would appear in a stupid movie. This is a great movie, possibly THE greatest movie about a dead shark who just won’t quit. #frightclub #GhostShark
