In case you haven't heard, Mickey Mouse, or rather, his original form as Steamboat Willie, is now in the public domain. So naturally, someone would have the idea of a horror film involving the character and it is coming in March in the form of Mickey's Mouse Trap, which revolves around a group of people inside of a Chuck-E-Cheese place stalked by a serial killer wearing a mask resembling Steamboat Willie. Disney made a statement only saying the modern iterations of Mickey, including the white gloves, voice, eyes, and more mouse-like appearance still fall under their copyright as that version started in 1935.

There is also a Steamboat Willie movie beginning production in April, where Willie goes after a group of ferry passengers. The Mean One's Steven LaMorte will be directing the film.
