Mickey Mouse could soon be haunting our dreams, thanks to the character becoming public domain in 2024 – you just know creatives are going to create horror parodies, most of which will be rubbish.
If we know anything, it’s that people just love to take childhood imagery and transform it into something horrific; we’ve seen a murderous Winnie the Pooh, and our fond childhood memories ofMonsters Inc.taken away from us. And while some horror parodies have been okay,Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honeywas so bad it’s good.
Let’s watchDisney Illusion Island’s trailer to ease those pangs of worry

However, Mickey going all public domain on us isn’t as cut and dry as it may sound. This is because it’s onlySteamboat Willie’s Mickey Mouse that’s going public rather than the more contemporary depictions we’re familiar with.
But when have devs wanting to cash in on the hilarity of a goody-two-shoes character ever cared about that? Exactly – they don’t. Sure, it may get taken down, but we can guarantee a Mickey Mouse horror game that lasts only an hour or so will have a lasting impact on the internet.
