For those unaware; Bloody Mary is an… icon? She originated in 2008 for the Reflections of Fear event and was basically a female version of 2002’s Caretaker. Thanks due to the fact that her name is trademarked from a makeup artist named Bobbie Weiner (who as of 2020 has not forgotten her involvement with HHN); Mary has not made an appearance in any HHN event afterwards.
Which is weird. I mean Universal specializes in ips ALL THE TIME. The New Line Trio, SAW, CHUCKY, My Bloody Valentine, The Walking Dead, Silent Hill, From Dust Till Dawn, the Exorcist, etc. Why won’t Uni just license the character like they do everything else? Maybe it’s a popularity thing; but I’m not quite sure Trick R’ Treat and Killer Klowns from Outer Space are what counted as “popular” and those two debuted as mere Scarezones.
Secondly; there’s the whole “Dr. Agana” thing. I don’t think that will cause a breach in contract; why not use the mad doctor? I guess you could say that Mary Agana is only known to the die-hards, they would be confusing to the general public… except all the icons minus Jack are only known to the die-hards and are confusing to the general public. Is it a design thing? Well they should redesign her. The icons in general suffer from uninspired design choices (minus Jack and his marvelous hair) but Mary takes the cake. She’s basically the Ring girl if she was goth and an adult.
So… thoughts?
