It was inevitable that we’d start seeing Mickey Mouse doing some seriously uncharacteristic things after an early version of the character entered the public domain on Monday—but we might not have expected him to grab a knife and set about slaughtering teenagers the very same day.
With the version of Mickey used in Disney’s 1928 film Steamboat Willie no longer under copyright protection, artists are free to use that original iteration of the iconic mouse however they like. That apparently includes making him a sinister, blood-crazed killer in a horror comedy film called Mickey’s Mouse Trap.
“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,” the film’s synopsis reads, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
