Let's Scare Jessica to Death

The film was released in 1971 by Paramount Pictures. Under the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, works in their first 28-year term between 1964 and 1977 received an automatic renewal of copyright. Therefore, a manual renewal filing was not required to maintain protection in the United States. A search of the US Copyright Office online database confirms a valid registration (RE0000806495 / 1999-01-08) which references the original 1971 registration (LP000039535). The copyright was originally held by Paramount Pictures Corp. and remains under their control or that of their corporate successors. Because the film was produced by a major US studio and has seen continuous commercial exploitation, including recent Blu-ray releases from Shout! Factory (2020) and ongoing availability on major streaming platforms, it is definitively protected and not an orphan work.
