Clifford is a big red dog who belongs to Emily and causes mischief but is ultimately a good dog.
While Clifford the Big Red Dog was registered for copyright in 1963 upon its publication it was not renewed in 1991 therefore the first book and only the first book is public domain.
The game Abuse is a run n gun 2d platformer published by EA for MS-DOS. The game featured the character Nick Vrenna fighting through hordes of monsters who are former inmates of a prison he was wrongfully sent to. Some expirment goes haywire that turned everyone into monsters except Nick who is immune now he’s trying to stop the local water supply from being infected in the same manner.
Abuse was developed by Crackdotcom, who in 1997 released the game into the public domain along with releasing the source code. The only thing not public domain was the sound effect as they did not own those.
Crackdotcom would go out of business around the same time and likely what prompted the release of Abuse into the public domain.They had another project that was cancelled around the same time which most likely contributed.
It’s got a cult following despite having that 90s edginess to it and obviously involving abuse as like its central focus albeit it doesnt really go much further than the lab experiments from what i gather.
The Pink Panther as many likely know is a creation from the 1963 film The Pink Panther which is primarily about a jewel with that name. The Pink Panther was created for promotional material, the trailer and the opening.
He first appeared in the trailer for the film, pictured above which did not have a copyright notice making it public domain. The film itself obviously isn’t but it creates the situation of the Pink Panther, the cartoon panther being public domain.
Pink Panther is a registered trademark so keep that in mind and any later appearances obviously aren’t public domain.
Diane Adams is a character from the film Silent Night, Bloody Night from 1972. One of the earliest slasher films and an often overlooked entry in the genre from a time when they really were more influenced by the likes of italian giallo films and of course Hitchcock’s Psycho.
Diane is one of the earliest final girls in the genre and while she doesn’t stand out among her peers she’s still noteworthy in that regard.
The film is often known as Deathouse and initial prints of the film had no copyright notice attached therefore placing it in the public domain.
Diane is the Mayor’s daughter and is one of the central characters of the film, she’s fairly reserved and rightfully paranoid but tries to get to the bottom of things throughout.
