Well that didn’t take long.


On the first day that Disney‘s 1928 short Steamboat Willie entered the public domain, a trailer has dropped for a horror comedy film featuring none other than Mickey Mouse as the killer.


The synopsis for the film, called Mickey’s Mouse Trap, reads: “It’s Alex’s 21st birthday, but she’s stuck at the amusement arcade on a late shift so her friends decide to surprise her, but a masked killer dressed as Mickey Mouse decides to play a game of his own with them which she must survive.”

Will it take place in Disneyland?

This is such a low effort thing, and probably would have been possible years earlier, aside from the bits with the actual cartoon clips perhaps. This is more of a FNAF rip off than anything else anyway.

I feel dirty just having watched the trailer, those clicks are all they want as they seek a distributor no doubt.

I agree. Although the 80s were full of quick buck artists making horror movies.

Here is another one. Probably a bit more substantial as its from a guy with some experience making horror parodies.

I am actually SHOCKED there isn't a strip club in Orlando or Anaheim with strippers dressed as disney princesses, the adult tie-in seems obvious.

If there IS such a place, please tell me so I can avoid it on the next trip...

Just think if mickey went public domain earlier like he was supposed to. Who could've banged out the video game tie in?

Imagine using these now public domains and making something worthwhile and fun that captures the spirit of the original .

Aren't these people asking for trouble by keep referring Steamboat Willie as Mickey Mouse?
