Artist Hilariously Turns Horror Movies into Retro Disney Children’s Books
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…!

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
