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.

Garfield

Garfield is a lazy and irritable cat who always wants food. He belongs to Jon who is a cartoonist.

The comic strip Jon was a strip that Jim Davis created before launching the now famous Garfield comic strip. Jon focusing more on the titular cartoonist and his social life rather than being focused on Garfield.

This earlier iteration of Jon & Garfield from the 1976 comic strip was unearthed by youtuber Quinton Reviews who made the scans available online which showed that these comic strips did not have copyright notice on them at a time where that was a requirement

Notes

  • The modern iteration of Garfield is still under copyright as is any that was published after 1978.
