Hello Talesfromthecryptfan,
Piranha and Halloween, of course, are among my 1978 favourites; further I would mention The Swarm - and here's one which is completely unknown in the U.S. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):
Pod jezevci skalou - starring Tomas Holy, actor whom I like very much for his performances; though he wasn't (in my opinion) the cutest young actor from CS(S)R - that honour goes to Lukas Janota, but he had a certain vivacity and "freshness" in his acting which I always found very nice. Tragic that he had to die so early (car accident, at age 20 or 21)!
Best regards
sprendlinger

Trocadero Bleu Citron (starring Lionel Melet, Anne Duperrey, etc.) - had to wait a long, long time for that gem; now (since 2017, I think) it's out on DVD :-)
