Jean-Louis, Jarlath Conroy, and Charles Edwin Powell. Thornton is also known for his role in theTerrifiermovies, wherein he plays the lead villain of Art the Clown. Hyman previously appeared inTerrifier 2and this year’s record-breakingTerrifier 3, soScreamboatwill act as a mini-reunion for the pair.
Every Terrifier 3 Box Office Record & Milestone
Terrifier 3 premiered to unexpected success earlier this October, and since then, the unrated horror flick has broken serious box office records.
Tyler Posey is best known for playing the lead role on the MTV seriesTeen Wolf. The actor was seen as a heartthrob during his tenure on the dark fantasy series, but his career has been quieter in the seven years sinceTeen Wolf’s conclusion. As a result,Teen Wolffans may be more drawn toScreamboat, as Posey might be good bait for an audience looking to see what the actor is up to in his career. This could help the mascot horror film at the box office as it comes to theaters next year.
Our Take On The Screamboat Casting
It Is A Good Sign For Mascot Horror
While Posey is not an A-list actor, his casting also shows thatthe mascot horror subgenre is getting more attention than it used to.Quintessential genre films such asWinnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honeyhad largely unknown cast members. Now, known actors are being cast in such roles. This includes, for example, Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund’s recent casting inPinocchio Unstrung, another sinister spin on a classic story. Between that and theScreamboatnews, it is becoming clear that mascot horror films are beginning to be a bigger deal in the mainstream.
