This month, we gathered the dark forces of pop culture with a collection of villainous Loot Crate gear featuring Ghostbusters, Jaws, & MORE! (Yer gonna need a bigger crate… )

May’s NEMESIS Loot Crate features one of the most terrifying villains of all time… Bruce, the Great White Shark from JAWS!
Universal Pictures
In 1974, Peter Benchley published the novel, Jaws. All about a great white shark preying on the residents of a small seaside town. One year later, the book was adapted into a film by Steven Spielberg and became a smash hit.

Dun dun, dun dun. Oh no. Dun dun, dun dun. LOOTERS. Dun dun, dun dun… RUN!
Oh wait. It’s not a REAL shark. Just this adorable, derpy version of Bruce, made with edible fruits!
With Jaws (the movie) celebrating its 44th anniversary this June, I just HAD to feature the big great white himself with May’s Looter Recipe: Jaws Watermelon!
This recipe was super easy and fun to put together! Nothing says “family fun time” like sharp knives and fish made out of fruit!
You will need:
(Inspired by: Watermelon Shark)

- Blueberries

5. Clean off any extra marker with a rag.

7. Using a small paring knife, cut a shallow outline 1/2″ (13mm) around the mouth opening, piercing the green rind and not going through the white rind of the watermelon.
8. Scoop out watermelon meat and set aside.
9. Continue cutting and scooping out the watermelon meat until the cavity is empty, saving about an inch from the bottom.
10. Cut the teeth, starting with large teeth in the middle, then reduced the tooth size towards the corners of the mouth.
11. Make a fin from the cut-off pieces.
12. Attach the fin to the back of the watermelon shark using toothpicks to secure it in place.
