Cineverse, the distributor behind Terrifier 2, Terrfier 3, and the soon to be finally released Toxic Avenger reboot, has picked up Sean Haitz‘s Cannibal Comedian for a March release with the assistance of Screambox and Scream Team Releasing.

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 Haitz, 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, Austin Judd, Robert Dunne, 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.

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.
