A Hollywood actor has revealed the hilarious nickname he gave to his penis prosthetic in his latest project. 

David Howard Thornton is set to shock fans as he stars in Screamboat as killer Steamboat Willie who begins targeting pᴀssengers on the Staten Island Ferry.

The Disney-inspired horror film sees a monstrous Mickey Mouse kill princesses in a new trailer, released this week. 

When a group of drunk girls, Cindi, Bella, Jazzy, Arianna and Rory – a play on the Disney princesses – board the boat, their night soon descends into chaos.  

And now, in a chat with MailOnline, lead actor David has revealed the name he’s given to his penis prosthetic. 

The gory flick is said to feature a lot of dismembered body parts – one of which was a giant penis.

David joked: ‘I called it Big Willy. I wasn’t expecting that thing and then when they brought it out I was like oh my God that’s ridiculous, I love it. This is hysterical. That was a fun thing to work with.

‘That was what I loved about this, with the perspective we were doing, these giant props, the scissors they put in my head was another cool thing they put in there.’

Speaking of his favourite kill, he added: ‘My favourite kill has got to be the d*** scene. Let’s be honest. 

‘That’s everybody’s favourite kill in this. I think it’s so funny, especially when it’s still in her mouth. That’s just wrong, what a horrible way to go.’

The actor added that the elaborate makeup and costume was a ‘four hour process’ on a ‘daily basis’ and then ‘it took another hour to take it all off’.

Discussing the unusual storyline for the horror, he revealed: ‘When he [the director] told me about the concept, before he’d even written the script I was like I am here for this. 

‘There’s a lot of fun you can do with it, especially leaning into the comedic elements.’

It comes just after director, writer and producer Steven LaMorte admitted he always knew he wanted one of the props to be a giant penis.

‘They gave it a name and they’re like, “OK, Tom’s flying the set”, and we’re like, OK, we know what that means,’ Steven told MailOnline.

He added: ‘It’s one of the first scenes that I wrote actually because it just made me laugh.

‘I thought it was funny. I said, what if? And then once we started taking these meetings and started having these very serious, very professional discussions, we have to bring in the art department, we have to bring in the makeup department, we have to bring in the prosthetic department, we have to bring in the… oh, well, props has to build one too.

‘So it just turned into this just like mᴀssive meeting after meeting with all of these adult working professionals in the film industry who I have to look in the straight face and say, “Guys, we have to do this”, and we have to do it right, and everyone took it really seriously.

‘But, you know, it turned into like a a game of of synonyms trying to just like use other words, like, “so when the unit is on set”, “well we have to get the large member”.’

The film is filled with Disney references, as it is inspired by the 1928 original Steamboat Willie – for which the copyright expired last January.

It became the first film starring Mickey and Minnie to be distributed, but now media from the 1928 film are available in the US public domain.

Not every Disney nod Steven wanted to made it into the film, as he said: ‘There’s so many references that didn’t make it into the script, only because when I approach a script, to me a script is more of a like a battle plan, right? So it’s an attack plan, it’s a layout for what we’re gonna do.

‘So the script was much longer than the movie because every page I’ve got alternate versions of jokes. I’ve got, you know, alternate references.

Disney original Steamboat Willie was released in 1928 and became the first film starring Mickey and Minnie to be distributed 

‘I mean, there’s a bunch of Pixar references that didn’t make it into the flick. There’s a bunch of references to rides that didn’t make it into the movie.’

But eagle-eyed viewers should remain on the look-out, as he ᴀssured the film is littered with Easter eggs that did make the cut – and teased ideas for a possible sequel.

‘There’s some, some characters that ended up more in the background than I think I wanted to have them be in the film,’ he said.

‘So you kind of have to watch it to see if you spot some of the Easter eggs. But if we get the chance to make a second one I will dust off the old notepad and try to work them back in.’

As the trailer for Screamboat opens, a voiceover promises a ‘journey like no other’ before the creepy mouse is seen boarding the boat.

A synopsis reads: ‘Be our guest on a New York City ferry ride that turns into a hilarious nightmare when a mischievous mouse named Steamboat Willie becomes a monstrous reality.

‘As pᴀssengers set sail, their trip turns ᴅᴇᴀᴅly when the tiny terror unleashes murder and mayhem.

‘Packed with big kills, big laughs, and a miniature menace, Screamboat is a cinematic thrill ride that reimagines Steamboat Willie like never before!’
