‘Popeye The Slayer Man’ Trailer: The Only Thing He Loves More Than Spinach Is Murder
Many of us grew up knowing all about Popeye, especially if he was used as an example for why you should eat your spinach. For some reason a little guy with frighteningly large fore arms was supposed to make eating veggies easier. Now, the spinach-loving sailor is getting a gory reimagining Popeye the Slayer Man, a new horror feature exploring an alternate backstory for the legendary sailor. And we’re excited to share the new trailer!
In the film, “A group of friends who 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 and local docks.”
Now check out the trailer!
“We can’t wait for audiences to get a load of this gory and scary version of Popeye,” says 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. ”
Sean Michael Conway, Elena Juliano, Mabel Thomas, Marie-Louise Boisnier, Jeff Thomas, and Steven McCormack star in Popeye The Slayer Man along with “scream queens” Angela Relucio (The Cabining) and Sarah Nicklin (The Black Mass). Jason Stephens plays the title role.
Robert Michael Ryan (Ouija Witch) directs from a screenplay by John Doolan (Remains). Jeff Miller (The Toybox), Cuyle Carvin (Ouija Witch), and Ryan also contributed to the story. Producers are— along with Miller, Carvin, and Ryan—Alexander Tucker, Nathan Todaro, and Alysa Blasetti. Korey Rowe was Director of Photography. R.J. Young supervised the special makeup FX.
Popeye the Slayer Man is a co-production between Salem House Films, Millman Productions, Ron Lee Productions, and Otsego Media. It’s slated to be released in early 2025.
