Princess Ariel as Pennywise? Devilishly delightful. Merida as Chucky? Terrifying but terrific. I didn't expect to love the Disney princesses reimagined [1] as horror movie villains, but now that I've seen them, I can't look away. Russian artist Anastasia Kosyanova [2] recently gave the familiar characters a spooky update in the spirit of Halloween [3], and I could truly scream over each image.

Anastasia channels her love of Disney into fan art and shares her creative creations [4] with over 116,000 Instagram followers. For her latest venture, Anastasia illustrated the princesses in their "every day" wear and compared them to scary on-screen villains. She paid homage to It, Saw, The Ring, Saw, and more, and put the Disney characters in costume like I've never seen them before.

Ahead, get an up-close look at Anastasia's artwork. It's not too late to use one of these princesses as inspiration for your Halloween costume!
