As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that a fresh sneak peek of the chilling “Screamboat” has just dropped, revealing David Howard Thornton stepping into the menacing shoes of Steamboat Willie from the forthcoming horror flick inspired by the classic Mickey Mouse cartoon.
The recently released image from Variety features actor Scott Thornton, famously recognized as Art the Clown in the Terrifier series, donning the guise of Steamboat Willie while brandishing a threatening spear. The design for this costume is a creation of Quantum Creation FX, with the character set to be presented in both puppet and costume form. In the latest picture, Thornton’s figure appears diminutive when contrasted with the massive bench of a New York ferry situated in the background.

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “I’ll be tagging along with a bunch of New Yorkers on an ordinary late-night ferry ride that takes a terrifying turn when a tricky mouse starts causing chaos, picking off unsuspecting passengers one by one. Now, it’s up to us, the most unlikely team, to join forces and take down this deadly pest before our peaceful voyage transforms into a terrifying journey of survival.
On January 1, 2024, the public domain officially welcomed the Steamboat Willie portrayal of Mickey Mouse. The following day saw the unveiling of Screamboat, along with several other horror films that reimagine Steamboat Willie as a horrifying slasher antagonist.
What else do we know about Screamboat?
The film is directed by Steven LaMorte, who co-wrote the script with Matthew Garcia-Dunn.
The film’s actors consist of Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, Jesse Posey, Jesse Kove, Rumi C. Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy, and Charles Edwin Powell. Earlier, LaMorte hinted that the movie will showcase some exceptionally wild scenes because of the expansive nature of Thornton’s character.
Due to the character’s massive stature, some incredibly intense kill scenes in this film prove challenging to execute convincingly. I have a strong suspicion that I may need to have a rather uncomfortable discussion with my mom regarding these scenes once we’ve finished watching.
LaMorte clarified that “Screamboat” will not be a reinterpretation of the classic villain in a mask, inheriting the role of Steamboat Willie. Instead, he emphasized that their version of Steamboat Willie remains true to the original character, encompassing familiar songs, poses, and overall essence.
According to the latest updates, DeskPop Entertainment and Iconic Events Releasing plan to unveil Screamboat as early as 2025.
