I could have swore that film has a renewed copyright notice for newer editions. Are you sure Plan 9 From Outerspace is currently in the public domain?

I kind of copied your idea on my blog although a different Vincent Price classic. Regarding copyright terms, a few years ago there were several attempts to push the term to life of the author + 100 years. Bono of U2 was particularly in favor of this, which only reinforced my hatred towards him. Hey, great post! I kind of copied your idea on my blog although a different Vincent Price classic.

As for how works fall into the public domain, it goes something like this: In 1909, copyright in the US was 28 years, and the copyright had to be renewed to extend copyright another 28 years, with a maximum term of 56 years. If people didn't register (or re-register) then, the works would fall into the public domain. In 1976, the law was changed to the life of the author plus 50 years, effectively eliminating modern works from entering the public domain. In 1998 the law was changed to the life of the author plus 70 years thanks to the Mickey Mouse Protection Act which furthered the idea of perpetual copyright. But there was a time when copyright had term limits. I’m glad you guys liked it!

This brings up another interesting question...when DO things in general or HOW do they fall into public domain? wow i can’t believe some of those classics have fallen into the public domain.

I love Jack Nicolson and had always thought that the Rick Moranis version was the original! Night of the living dead is also an amazing classic.

And of course Nosferatu. But the best...WHITE ZOMBIE (for obvious reasons). Now I want to go watch b/w horror movies, snuggled on the couch with a warm mug of apple cider. I LOVE Horror Hotel!
