Audiences are already getting freaked out by the Steamboat Willie horror film.

We got an exclusive peek at a teaser video spotlighting advance audience reaction to SCREAMBOAT–the movie’s goriest scene in particular. Fright fans can see that moment for themselves when the movie opens for an exclusive, limited theatrical run next Wednesday, April 2. David Howard Thornton, the TERRIFIER series’ Art the Clown, plays the murderous flesh-and-blood incarnation of the cartoon mouse, and the cast also includes Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, Jesse Posey, Jesse Kove, Kailey Hyman, Rumi C Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy (George A. Romero’s DAY OF THE DEAD) and Charles Edwin Powell, with cameos by Tyler Posey (TEEN WOLF), Brian Quinn (IMPRACTICAL JOKERS) and stand-up comedian Joe DeRosa. Steven LaMorte (THE MEAN ONE) directed from a script he wrote with Matthew Garcia-Dunn; the synopsis: “Be our guest on a New York City ferry ride that 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.”
