That's brilliant, but it's gonna be decades before the things we associate with horror films become public domain.

I was curious what was public domain. I found this article. https://cuttingforbusiness.com/8-characters-public-domain-crafters/

Classic Monsters Any horror genre fans around? If so, good news for you: Many of the classic monsters are in the public domain. These include Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, Creature from the Black Lagoon (film), and The Bride of Frankenstein (film).

What You Need to Know: You cannot use modern day adaptations of these stories. Instead, create your own take on the original stories and characters.

Decades, true, but I still hope one day to see The Very Hungry Freddy Krueger.

There's definitely already stuff like that for Dracula and Frankenstein's monster.

Disney is VERY litigious , meaning that they will sue for copyright , saying that you haven't use the public domain version of a character - you used their version - because their version has a pretty nose or whatever.

Bride is technically a monster but never harmed anyone, unless you count hurting Frank Jr's feelings by recoiling from him in horror. #whenwomenrefuse
