‘Steamboat Willie’ Horror Film ‘Screamboat’ Adds ‘Teen Wolf’ Star Tyler Posey, ‘Terrifier 2’ Breakout Kailey Hyman (EXCLUSIVE)

" Screamboat ," a horror-comedy reimagining of Disney's Steamboat Willie character that recently entered the public domain, has announced final additions to its cast ahead of a sales screening at the American Film Market in Las Vegas, Nev. Producers reveal that the film's ensemble includes Tyler Posey , best known as the lead of MTV's "Teen Wolf" series, and Kailey Hyman , who appeared in Damien Leone's "Terrifier 2" and made a return appearance in this fall's "Terrifier 3."

Posey and Hyman will play key characters in "Screamboat." The production also revealed that Brian Quinn and Joe DeRosa will feature in cameo roles. Quinn is best known as a star of TruTV's long-running reality show "Impractical Jokers." DeRosa is a stand-up comedian and actor, whose presence in the podcasting world once led to the horror movie-focused series "We'll See You in Hell."

The group joins a cast anchored by David Howard Thornton, best known for his performance as the slasher Art the Clown in the "Terrifier" series, here taking on the role of Steamboat Willie. Other previously announced actors include Allison Pittel, Amy Schumacher, Jesse Posey, Jesse Kove, Rumi C. Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy and Charles Edwin Powell. Steven LaMorte is directing the feature.

Producers for "Screamboat" include LaMorte, Schumacher, Martine Melloul, Steven Della Salla and Michael Leavy. Kali Pictures, Sleight of Hand Productions, Reckless Content and Julien Didon are executive producing. Iconic Events will give the film a theatrical release in 2025, with digital and home video to follow from DeskPop Entertainment. DeskPop is handling worldwide sales at AFM, which runs through Nov. 10.

Steamboat Willie, a version of Mickey Mouse that debuted in an animated short in 1928, entered the public domain at the start of the calendar year. Indie horror producers wasted no time capitalizing on the matter, with "Screamboat" announcing plans for production in January.

"We are doing our due diligence to make sure there's no question or confusion of what we're up to," LaMorte said at the time, touching on the production's legal consultation. "This is our version of a public domain character. It's a scary thrill ride with heart and humor, based on this character that everybody knows."
