There are now four Mickey Mouse horror movies on the way – and it's all thanks to public domain.
According to BloodyDisgusting, another Mickey Mouse horror movie based on the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie is in the works. The Mouse Experiment "follows a group of friends stuck at a fairground amusement park hunted down by a mutated rat – Steamboat Willie."
When Steamboat Willie was announced as public domain just nine months ago, two movies were already in the works. Mickey's Mousetrap, directed by Jason Bailey via Into Frame Productions, follows a girl and her friends as they get hunted down by a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse on her 21st birthday. Screamboat, directed by Steven LaMorte, stars Terrifier's David Howard Thorton as a murderous Steamboat Willie – yes, Art the Clown himself.
Mouseboat Massacre was announced just last week. Director Andrea M. Catinella told BloodyDisgusting that the movie sees "the most beloved childhood character becomes an endless nightmare," adding, "Imagine Pennywise wearing the most famous rat mask."
