Here’s the trailer for a Popeye horror movie coming titled Popeye the Slayer Man, which will explore an alternate backstory for the iconic cartoon sailor.
In Popeye the Slayer Man, “a group of friends sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to film a documentary on the legend of the “Sailor Man,” who is said to haunt the factory.”
“We can’t wait for audiences to get a load of this gory and scary version of Popeye,” teases producer Jeff Miller. “We went old-school and focused on using real practical effects, and not relying on CG for the gore. We’re talking with very enthusiastic and interested buyers now.”
Jason Stephens takes on the role of the murderous Popeye. Robert Michael Ryan (Ouija Witch) directs the film from a screenplay by John Doolan (Remains).
Popeye the Slayer Man also stars Sean Michael Conway, Elena Juliano, Mabel Thomas, Marie-Louise Boisnier, Jeff Thomas, Steven McCormack, Angela Relucio (Code Black, The Cabining), and Sarah Nicklin (Nun of That, The Black Mass).
Popeye the Slayer Man is a co-production between Salem House Films, Millman Productions, Ron Lee Productions, and Otsego Media. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think.
