Disney Stars as The Walking Dead Killers
Zombies fear Disney stars. They don’t just kill by sunshine and adorable looks, when it gets down to business, they are pretty scary hunters of the undead.

Artist Paul Ribera‘s illustrations present a view of those cartoon characters as strung-out drug addicts. It’s really weird… but mostly terrifying.
Iconic Movie Cars Reimagined as Transformers
