Well, that didn’t take very long! It’s been public knowledge for some time that in January 2024, Mickey Mouse’s first short, “STEAMBOAT WILLIE” and his likeness would enter the public domain; opening the beloved mouse up for a shitload of fuckery to be had with us, the public. Not even 24 hours into 2024, the first horror movie starring the creepy, early version of the mouse has been announced with a trailer attached!

Magnificent.

The horror comedy thriller MICKEY’S MOUSE TRAP directed by Jamie Bailey stars Sophie McIntosh, Callum Sywyk, Allegra Nocita, Ben Harris, Damir Kovic, Mackenzie Mills, Nick Biskupek and Simon Phillips. Bailey states, ““We just wanted to have fun with it all.I mean, it’s Steamboat Willie’s Mickey Mouse murdering people. It’s ridiculous. We ran with it and had fun doing it and I think it shows” 

The film’s basic plot: 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 itself is still awaiting a confirmed release date – but is expected in March 2024. In the meantime, enjoy this wild as fuck trailer!
