"Night Swim: A Murky Plunge into Disappointing Horror Depths"

'Night Swim,' a new horror film produced by James Wan and Jason Blum, explores the terror of a haunted swimming pool, tapping into irrational fears much like classic horror films have done with other phobias. The movie, which is based on a short film of the same name, follows a retired baseball player with multiple sclerosis and his family as they encounter supernatural events linked to their new home's pool. Despite some creative moments, the film struggles to balance its absurd premise with a serious tone, ultimately failing to fully embrace its potential for campy horror.

"Steamboat Willie's Public Domain Status Sparks Mickey Mouse Horror Film"

Shortly after "Steamboat Willie," the earliest version of Mickey Mouse, entered the public domain, two horror movies featuring the character were announced. "Mickey's Mouse Trap" and an untitled film by director Steven LaMorte are set to transform the iconic character into a horror figure, following a trend started by "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey." While Disney's modern Mickey remains copyrighted, the filmmakers are legally using the original character design and taking care to avoid infringing on Disney's rights.

"Steamboat Willie's Public Domain Status Inspires Mickey Mouse Horror Film Amidst Infestation '88 Renaming Controversy"

Mickey Mouse, the iconic Disney character, is set to become the villain in at least two horror movies following the entry of "Steamboat Willie" into the public domain. "Mickey's Mouse Trap" and another unnamed film directed by Steven LaMorte are in the works, exploiting the character's newly available early design from the 1928 animation. Disney's modern Mickey remains copyrighted, and the company has expressed intent to protect its rights and prevent consumer confusion. This development comes after the horror adaptation of "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey," which was also made possible by the expiration of the original character's copyright.
