“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.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
