Steamboat Willie Horror Film 'Screamboat' Delays Release to April

The horror-comedy reimagines the classic character as a murderous mouse, with David Howard Thornton leading the cast.

The release of 'Screamboat,' a horror-comedy inspired by the public domain Steamboat Willie character, has been moved from January to April 2025, with no specific date announced yet.
David Howard Thornton, known for his role as Art the Clown in the 'Terrifier' series, stars as the murderous mouse in the film directed by Steven LaMorte.
The story follows a late-night ferry ride in New York City that turns deadly when a mischievous mouse begins a killing spree, forcing passengers to fight for survival.
The film blends practical effects by Quantum Creation FX with comedic and sinister elements, featuring a cast that includes Tyler Posey, Kailey Hyman, and Jesse Kove, among others.
Part of a growing trend of horror adaptations of public domain characters, 'Screamboat' joins films like 'Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey' in exploring dark reimaginings of beloved icons.
