July 30 (UPI) -- Actress Tara Reid says she thinks she knows why her Sharkando TV movies have become a summer tradition for millions of people.
"Today, in life, everything is so serious. There are so many bad things happening -- crime, war, the political stuff that we've gone through in this last year -- people look forward to these movies. It's almost like the Super Bowl," the 41-year-old actress told UPI in a recent phone interview. "It comes out once a year, they have Sharknado parties, they know it's going to be outrageous and they know it's going to be crazier than the last one and they sit together and they make drinking games of it. ... People go all out for it. They get people together and they have fun. And we get to make a movie that gets people together to celebrate and have fun. That's awesome."
