That’s brilliant, but it’s gonna be decades before the things we associate with horror films become public domain.

I was curious what was public domain. I found this article. cuttingforbusiness.com/8-characters-public-domain…

Classic Monsters Any horror genre fans around? If so, good news for you: Many of the classic monsters are in the public domain. These include Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, Creature from the Black Lagoon (film), and The Bride of Frankenstein (film).

What You Need to Know: You cannot use modern day adaptations of these stories. Instead, create your own take on the original stories and characters.
