The Movie: Piranha (1978)
The Character: David (Roger Richman) and Barbara (Janie Squire)
There are some places where it's fun to swim - well guarded pools, the local lido, just off of California's beautiful Venice Beach, say.
But a secluded, fenced-off and clearly dodgy former military research facility? Yeah, not so much.
Piranha's campy, spoofy take on horror allows its characters indulge in all the cliches with knowing winks, but these two are still prime candidates for death.
They decided to skinny dip in the complex's darkened pool...
If Only They'd: Pitched a tent and gone about their naked frolics on safe, dry ground. Though with their luck, they'd probably have been eaten by a sasquatch.
How Do They Die? Our silly swimmers are quickly gobbled by the film's titular fin-fiends, launching a domino plot that will lead to an investigation and the release of the hungry water-dwellers into the local lake.
