Mickey Mouse Slasher ‘Screamboat’ Sails Onto SteelBook Blu-ray in December
One of several indie productions to capitalize on Steamboat Willie‘s public domain status, Screamboat will be released on Steelbook Blu-ray on December 9 via Cineverse.
Terrifier‘s David Howard Thornton stars as a twisted version of the original Mickey Mouse as introduced in Disney’s 1928 animated short.
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.
From the producers of Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, the horror-comedy is written and directed by Steven LaMorte (The Mean One).
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 is currently streaming on Peacocck.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
