The killer mouse is back and this time he brings with him a familiar face. After shocking audiences with the blood-soaked horror of Mickey Mouse, Steven Deathit’s a twisted public domain movie Screamboat will officially have a sequel.
The sequel, entitled Screamboat 2: Nothing Stays Deadwill see the return of that demented version of Steamboat Willie, the terrifying killer who tore the Staten Island ferry to pieces in the first film, along with a new accomplice who will bear an uncanny resemblance to Minnie Mouse.
“I am thrilled to announce the sequel to our bloody horror comedy,” LaMorte said in an interview with Variety. “We had so much fun bringing these iconic characters to life with a bloody twist, and I can’t wait to return to the world of Screamboat to create even more miniature murder and mayhem.”
LaMorte also teased what’s to come, adding that the sequel “[promises] to expand on the first film’s shocking cliffhanger ending, reuniting Steamboat Willie and Minnie Mouse for a new chapter of mayhem, carnage, and cartoonish calamity.
Active production Boat-screams 2 is scheduled for 2026, with the return of the surviving cast members from the first film. This includes David Howard Thorntonbest known for playing Art the Clown in Terrifying franchise and the distraught Willie in Screamboat.
The original Screamboatwhich debuted earlier this year, seemed to turn heads with its bizarre blend of slapstick, splatter and Disney nostalgia. The film seemingly filled the screen with twisted Easter eggs that paid homage to the world of Disney, from cameos by deranged princesses to dark nods to theme park history.
It remains to be seen whether the sequel will double down on these references or take the story in a different direction, but given how the first film ended, fans can expect even more savage and gory ridicule when Screamboat 2: Nothing Stays Dead finally sets sail.
Until then, you can get the original Screamboat streaming now on Peacock. Personally, I am not a fan of these public domain horror films and think they are a waste of time, money and talent.
