Crabquake
Grab your Old Bay and your shotgun!
Because why not? Remember when Sharknado was all the rage? I mean, it was terrible, but you couldn’t look away. You had to watch it. I think I saw it twice, at least. And then Sharknado 2, Electric Sharkaloo, or whatever it was called. And then Sharknado 3, Yeah We’re Doing That Shit Again. I don’t remember if it actually had a name. But those movies were trash. At least the first one was wonderful trash.
And I thought, I can write some bullshit like that. But better. With characters you really give a shit about. In a place that you might actually know — well, given my twenty years in Baltimore and the fun I’ve had here, the friends I’ve gathered around me, my kids partially growing up here — if you live here or hang out here, you’ll know all the places we go. I love Baltimore, so let’s fucking destroy it.
In Sharknado, a crazy weather phenomenon hits the SoCal coast and floods the town of Santa Monica while adding flying sharks into the mix. There’s only one way to destroy the waterspout flinging sharks into Los Angeles, and that’s a bomb. Are you fucking kidding me? Three bad movies with a cast of shitty actors? I can do that. SyFy Channel — get ready for Crabquake!
In Crabquake, our heroes Jesse and Haze battle a new kind of insanity — giant crabs morphed by the chromium seeped into Baltimore’s historic Inner Harbor (actual concern — not the crabs, the chromium) and unleashed by an earthquake on the unsuspecting neighborhood of Fells Point. Our MCs are thrown together in a battle of survival, to try and save themselves, their friends, and their neighborhood as massive car-sized crabs rampage through the flooded neighborhood.
