        Assume all horror movies are Producers style you-make-more-on-a-flop-than-a-hit tax scams.

    Or we could just enjoy them as they are and not try to capitalize on them with low effort garbage.

    After more than a century. That’s 4 generations.

    How about limiting it to 25 years, 1 generation?

    We should embrace the bargin bin horror games/movies. The bargin bin is a great step to show people what can be done with public domain characters.

    We need people to take risks on their creative takes on public domain characters. Bargin bin media allows people to take those riske with low stakes. Someeone has to get everything started.
