Though known for optimistic aliens in E.T. and Jurassic Park, Spielberg’s love for creeping dread mirrors his own filmmaking genius, from Jaws’ unseen shark to Jurassic Park’s lurking raptors.

It’s a thrilling web of cinematic inspiration where legends fuel each other’s greatness. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
