It may seem unlikely, but Disney fandom and horror fandom often intersectOpens in a new tab. If you think about it, it’s not all that weird. Classic Disney animated films are filled with fantastic villainsOpens in a new tab akin to the monsters of horror cinema. And long before most of us have ever seen a scary movie, we had our socks scared off of us by something in a cartoon.
Now, one artist has brought those worlds together at last. Pop artist Jose Rodolfo Loaiza OntiverosOpens in a new tab incorporates Disney iconography with iconic horror characters, and the results are magic. Dark magic, that is.
