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.

Diane Adams

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.
