Most shops and restaurants are decked out with "Jaws"-themed merchandise from custom-poured shark candles to a bloody-looking cranberry sweet treat at Murdick's Fudge. Even the local baseball team - the Sharks - will be playing this weekend.

"There's like 'Jaws' mania, pretty much, " Hagerty said.

In the peak summer months, the island can see as many as 200,000 visitors, according to the Chamber of Commerce. But the hotels fully booked and anniversary weekend events nearly all sold out, officials are expecting a surge of visitors that could be tens of thousands higher than normal, far exceeding previous events related to the film.

Michael Currid said he has already had "exponentially more" advance bookings for his "Jaws" walking tour than he has in the past 15 years.
