CANNIBAL COMEDIAN: "Cineverse (Nasdaq: CNVS) and its horror division Bloody Disgusting’s streaming platform SCREAMBOX along with Scream Team Releasing have acquired North American rights to Cannibal Comedian, set for a March release.
A twisted mix of gut-busting laughs and terrifying thrills, the genre-bending slasher flick promises to push the boundaries of horror and humor in an unforgettable cinematic experience with a fresh and unique voice.
Written and directed by Sean Haitz (Big Top Evil), Cannibal Comedian tells the story of a psychopathic cannibal who is fed up with his lack of ambition and takes a stab at stand-up comedy in an attempt to chase both his dreams and his victims.
The film stars Aaron Prager (Haunted House of Pancakes), Austin Judd (Big Top Evil), Robert Dunne (Criminal Minds), and horror veterans Allen Danziger and Edwin Neal, best known for their iconic roles in Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as “Jerry” and “The Hitchhiker” respectively, a role Neal reprised in Gun Interactive’s 2023 video game by the same name. This reunion also marks Danziger’s first return to horror in 50 years, which sparked continued interest with his next project, The WeedHacker Massacre, also bringing a comedy twist. Their involvement is sure to be a nostalgic treat for horror fans.
The festival favorite took top honors in Marina Del Rey, Silicon Beach at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre, Culver City, Days of the Dead, HorrorHound, and Houston Horror to name a few. The film even caught the attention of horror host Joe Bob Briggs (Shudder’s The Last Drive-In), who presented the production team with a Hubbie award at his World Drive-In Jamboree, and filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob), who hosted it at his Smodcastle Film Festival.
“We are thrilled to partner with Cineverse and Scream Team Releasing to bring Cannibal Comedian to the horror and stand-up comedy fans,” says Haitz. “I think people are really going to eat it up! It’s a love letter to my favorite horror classics like Texas Chainsaw and comedies such as Ace Ventura. When I first moved out to Los Angeles, I had the opportunity to try my hand at stand-up and quickly realized how brutal it was, but for the main character of ‘Charlie,’ he kills both on stage and off stage.”
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Executive Director, Acquisitions, on behalf of Cineverse, Scream Team Releasing Founder Justin M. Seaman with Head of Acquisitions Mark Reyes, and Haitz’ Happy Fright Films label alongside producer Ryan James (Chasing Chasing Amy) of Pink Plaid Productions.
“Excited to be working with Sean, Ryan and Scream Team Releasing on Cannibal Comedian,” says Hill. “They’ve put together a really fun and dynamic film and our Screambox and Bloody Disgusting audience will really chew into it.”
Cineverse, known for its commitment to bringing thrilling content such as the box office smash-hit Terrifier franchise and the upcoming remake of The Toxic Avenger to audiences nationwide, will release the film across its wide distribution footprint – including SCREAMBOX, its horror streaming platform that caters to the genre’s most devoted followers, powered by Bloody Disgusting, the trusted source for horror news, reviews, and features – in the U.S. and Canada.
The encompassing territories will be able to own the film on physical media formats by way of HD Blu-ray and limited edition VHS copies signed by the cast and crew from Scream Team Releasing, renowned for distributing some of the most beloved indie horror titles such as The Barn series, rounding out the powerhouse distribution team behind the film.
“I honestly can’t think of a better duo of distributors for this particular project,” says James. “When we initially brainstormed about our pie-in-the-sky home for Cannibal Comedian, Cineverse and Scream Team Releasing were the top two names on that list, because they both continue to be at the top of their game with an eye for everything that is fun, innovative, and daring in the horror genre right now. So it really is an honor for both of them to see what we believed in as a group of passionate indie filmmakers who did whatever it took to pursue those aspirations, just like ‘Charlie,’ to tell a brand new tale that would speak to aspiring artists and fans of both the horror and comedy genres… It truly is a dream come true.”
Cannibal Comedian will be released on HD Blu-ray and VHS on March 1. The film will then be released on digital platforms, such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Microsoft Xbox, Google Play and Fandango at Home, in addition to streaming exclusively on SCREAMBOX available on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Prime Video, Roku, Fire TV, YouTube TV, Samsung, Comcast, Cox, and Screambox.com on March 4."
Preorders are now available on https://screamteamreleasing.com, Prime Video and Apple TV.
