Sharks + Tornadoes = Sharknado. It's a tale as old as time: Washed up surf star tries to protect his fragile family life from a maelstrom of sharks, teeth, and death. You can experience all the Sharknado your heart desires with the 3rd 'Nado in the installment Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!  But what of this surefire formula of success? Certainly this can't be the only Animal + Natural = Movie Event of the Century. Of course not. Tarantulas + Avalanches + Lava = Lavalantula arriving July 25th at 9/8c.
