The Icons and Lore Thread

Yeah, from the trademark I’ve read on Reddit. She can’t be used or explicitly mentioned in theme parks and haunt venues. Almost everywhere else is allowed.

Right, but the important distinction here is that Bloody Mary is not a public domain character in the context of Halloween Horror Nights. For all intents and purposes, she is an IP, even if Universal basically adapted the legend into something completely divorced from what the owner created.

Universal can use Mary Agana, the pre-Bloody, viscously cruel doctor character they developed as a backstory for “their” Bloody Mary, but Dr. Agana is pointless without the mirror-focused “Bloody Mary” alter-ego.

So they don’t.
