On this day, November 5, 1982, Piranha II: The Spawning, directed by a young James Cameron, premiered in theaters. Starring Tricia O’Neil, Steve Marachuk, and Lance Henriksen, this horror sequel featured a new twist—flying piranhas terrorizing unsuspecting beachgoers. With a modest budget of $145,786, the film has since gained a cult following, partially due to its campy horror and Cameron’s eventual rise to fame as a blockbuster director.

Who remembers Piranha II: The Spawning? Did this early James Cameron film make it onto your horror list?
