Terrifier star David Howard Thornton discusses playing Screamboat‘s twisted version of Mickey Mouse in our exclusive video below.
The clip comes from the Screamboat making-of documentary that appears on the new Steelbook Blu-ray, out today via Cineverse.
The horror-comedy is one of several indie productions to capitalize on the public domain status of Steamboat Willie, Walt Disney’s 1928 animated short that marked the first appearance of Mickey Mouse.
From the producers of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, Screamboat is written and directed by Steven LaMorte (The Mean One).
Special features:
- Audio Commentary with Actor David Howard Thornton
- The Making of Screamboat
- Deleted Scenes
A New York City ferry ride turns into a hilarious nightmare when a mischievous mouse named Steamboat Willie becomes a monstrous reality. As passengers set sail, their trip turns deadly when the tiny terror unleashes murder and mayhem.
The cast includes Allison Pittel (Stream), Amy Schumacher (The Mean One), Jesse Posey (“Selena: The Series”), Jesse Kove (“Cobra Kai”), Kailey Hyman (Terrifier 2), Rumi C Jean-Louis (“Hightown”), Jarlath Conroy (Day of the Dead), Charles Edwin Powell (The Exorcist III), Tyler Posey (“Teen Wolf”), Brian Quinn (“Impractical Jokers”), and Joe DeRosa (“Better Call Saul”).
Paul Lê wrote in his review, “It would be a mistake to overthink Screamboat or overlook its appeal as subversive slapstick, however, like so many comedy bits out there, this movie loses its novelty sooner than later.”
Screamboat 2: Nothing Stays Dead, a sequel featuring Minnie Mouse, is currently in development.
