Help Me Remember an Old Movie

I keep thinking of this old movie i saw when I was really young. I only remember tiny pieces, and they may not even go together. It was at least 20 years ago, because I seem to remember watching it when a babysitter was over (not sure if that's really the case, but the time period is about right). It may have even been old then, but all I remember is being scared.

All right, so here's what I've got. Some people are swimming in a lake (maybe at a lakehouse, I dunno), and one gets pulled underwater. Maybe they all get pulled under. But that's all I remember. I also remember a credit sequence with cartoonish looking monsters (frankenstein's monster, dracula, etc.) I'm not sure that part goes with the other, but if it did, it'd probably mean it was a TV show, and was toungue-in-cheek instead of real horror. Again, these could be two separate things.

I know I'm giving you nothing, but it was forever ago and I really don't remember much. Help me out if you can
 
Titanic? Bad Ronald?

Don't underestimate Google. It (along with DVXuser) has helped me track down movies whose tiny, tiny bits were stuck in my memory for 30 years. Type everything you remember and see what comes up. You might be surprised.

Sounds like it might be the one--

Looks like I've got a lot to watch on netflix. Don't think it was Saturday the 14th or Monster Squad.

Here are a few other details I remember. When the person gets pulled underwater, it was daytime. It was a girl, if i remember correctly (that one's very hazy). I'm thinking there was a sign or something telling people not to swim, but they did anyway. I don't want to get too far into these details, since my memory might be lying to me.

The credit sequence was just a still frame of the mosters, with the text overlayed on top.
 
no not piranha. also don't remember seeing any monsters in the movie (doesn't mean they weren't there), and i keep thinking whatever was underwater was one large monster
 
Creature from the Black Lagoon? Only she was never pulled under.

Jaws is the only one I can remember where it shows the closeup of the dragged-under-water shot, (she gasps/screams a last breath before being taken under).

As Callaghan said- Creepshow II (4 short movies in one)

There was a mini movie about a gooey blob-like monster that lurked around this lake and ate(?) people if they swam there. I remember the last scene where the last surviving girl thought she was safe as she swam up on the shore in the nick of time, but the blob still opened up like a giant umbrella and (presumably) scooped her up off the shore:Drogar-BlackEye(DBG. The short ended as the blob opened up.
 
It was a him and the segment was a piss-poor adaptation of 'The Raft,' a Stephen King story. Like the majority of adaptations of Stephen King stories...
 
I think this may be the one. I'm watching some youtube clips of Creepshow 2. It doesn't feel quite right, but maybe I just haven't come accross the part I remember. The title stuff also fits in with that.
 
Creepshow 2 is anything but "piss poor". It's a classic.
Respect, damnit!


What about ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS?
Haven't seen it since the mid 90s, but I recall swimming zombie scenes.
