Classic Disney tales become horror movie nightmares in Swedish artist Daniel Björk‘s new art series, which he’s been sharing over on his Instagram page (@kickpunch.se) lately.
The art turns your favorite horror movies into classic Disney children’s books, reimagining films like Friday the 13th, Re-Animator, Hellraiser, Evil Dead II, Alien, The Exorcist and even Cannibal Holocaust in that retro cartoon style. In Björk’s twisted world, Mickey’s head is exploding Scanners-style, Christopher Robin is eating Pooh’s brains, and Jiminy Cricket is Freddy Krueger.
Björk’s mashups are quite clever, with the perfect movies paired up with the perfect Disney stories. Rather than eating spaghetti, for example, Lady and the Tramp are sharing The Stuff. The reason Sleeping Beauty is lying in bed is because she’s demonically possessed by Pazuzu, and the prince is now a priest. And Mowgli, well, he’s taken to cannibalism out in the jungle.
If only these books existed when we were kids…!
