“Sharknado Week” Begins This Sunday; Here’s the Schedule
Right when Discovery wraps up its “Shark Week,” Syfy offers up their own week-long celebration with their annual “Sharknado Week.“
The programming event, which culminates with the premiere of a brand new Sharknado film, has been a Syfy staple for the last couple years, and this year’s celebration begins this Sunday night, July 30.
In addition to the premiere of Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, “Sharknado Week” 2017 will treat viewers to five other premieres, including sequel 5-Headed Shark Attack and even Trailer Park Shark, which reunites American Pie co-stars Tara Reid and Thomas Ian Nicholas!
Find the full schedule below. All movies air 8pm EST.
SUNDAY, JULY 30 – 5-Headed Shark Attack
Shaped like a demented starfish, a monster 5-headed shark terrorizes the open ocean before invading the beaches of Puerto Rico, endangering the once peaceful island paradise.
MONDAY, JULY 31 – Mississippi River Sharks
Sharks attack a fish rodeo on the Mississippi River, and it is up to a group of locals to stop them.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2 – Trailer Park Shark
A tropical storm floods Soggy Meadows trailer park and forces a hungry shark upriver.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 3 – Toxic Shark
A tropical singles retreat takes a terrifying turn when guests realize a poisonous shark is infesting the surrounding water. Not only will this toxic shark rip apart its victims, but it also uses projectile acid to hunt… in and out of the water!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 5 – Empire of the Sharks
Set in a future where most of Earth is covered by water and the only land left is controlled by a warlord who rules with an army of hyper-intelligent sharks, unlucky humans are used as shark food. But when two friends risk their lives to rescue a trapped prisoner, those imprisoned decide to rise against their captor and his legion of bloodthirsty sharks.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 6 – Sharknado 5: Global Swarming
As shark-infested storms grow stronger and more complex, the world braces for the inevitable – a global sharknado. This year, the mission gets personal for chainsaw-wielding leader Fin Shepard (Ian Ziering) and his bionic wife, April (Tara Reid), when their young son gets trapped in a sharknado and is transported all over the world.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
