You mean like all the child-friendly content built around Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummies, Zombies, Werewolves, Ghosts, but with Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Ghostface, Jigsaw, Annabelle, Chucky, Pinhead, Xenomorphs, etc?
Exactly. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t want to read Horton Hatches the Xenomorph Egg.
You mean like Monster Squad?

I mean, that does happen with a lot of traditionally scary monsters to be fair. Look at how cutesy Halloween monsters sometimes get portrayed as, or dragons, which at least in the European sense would traditionally have been dangerous and scary monsters but nowadays are just as often friendly or protective as they are hostile.
How to train your dragon, but with hyper realistic traditional dragons. Yes please.

Freddie the Friendly Dream Pal
Helps you fight nightmares and is on your side
Ever heard of Scooby-Doo?
It’s a ga ga ga ghooost
Isn’t that basically all fairy tales?
Child-friendly fairy tales: a little girl went into the forest alone and got lost, she speak with an owl and ask the owl to guide her home, which the owl agree to guide her home and she went home scared but safe.
OG fairy tales: a little girl went into the forest alone and got lost, she speak with an owl and ask the owl to guide her home, the owl laugh, then fly straight to her and rip her face off, eating her alive.
Little girl in her new red hood goes to the forest, meets a wolf, tames him and brings him to be Grandma’s guard dog.
Freddy kroger, Its 2 kinds of horror, being a low income cashier at kroger, and dealing with shitty customers.
And o yeah he also kills people in there dreams.
But then he gives a little moral and the end of the episode. During the nightmare: "Still looking for cottage cheese, Karen? Maybe it was inside you the entire time! Ha! Ha! Ha! " Then she screams to get the manager and slowly melts to a blob of cottage cheese. Then Freddy scoops some in a bowl, puts in some peaches, and says " Make sure you have a balanced diet, kids! This is a healthy snack, right Karen? Ha! Ha! Ha!
I was watching He-Man recently and the PSAs at the end are kind of funny since Man-at-Arms talks about how practical jokes can make your friends lose an arm, eye, or life. They were straight shooters in the 80s!
Yeah! They taught me not to hide in old refrigerators or I’ll die.
The thing about freddy krueger that made him scary was that he was also a pedophile not just a guy with really long fingernails and acne scars
I have a baby Freddy Krueger plushie, he’s so cute with his li’l baby bonnet & training claws
Imagine growing up and finding out your Freddie the good dream boy is actually murdering people lol
I guess kids grow up now with like Goofy Frankenstein’s Monster, but yeah. It definitely sounds ridiculous to us.
Yokai Watch is basically just that but pokemon, i think. And maybe Hotel Transylvania.
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. https://cuttingforbusiness.com/8-characters-public-domain-crafters/
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.
Decades, true, but I still hope one day to see The Very Hungry Freddy Krueger.
There’s definitely already stuff like that for Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster.
“Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna Play?”
Disney is VERY litigious , meaning that they will sue for copyright , saying that you haven’t use the public domain version of a character - you used their version - because their version has a pretty nose or whatever.
Bride is technically a monster but never harmed anyone, unless you count hurting Frank Jr’s feelings by recoiling from him in horror. #whenwomenrefuse
We did that in the 90s while they were still new. See: The Toxic Avengers.
And also fantastic that when children’s media characters go into public domain, we get a lot of adult content ;)?
lol google stuffed cthulhu plush… it will horrify you…
