If you've always found the classic images of Eden and Disney fairytales to be hinting at something much more sinister, prepare to open the floodgates with Diego Barrera's latest offering.
The full title of this video is Mater Suspiria Vision - Seduction of the Armageddon Witches, and from the name alone, you should instinctively want to crawl under your bed covers and pretend this video doesn't exist. Once you hit the play button, things become much more disturbing. Diego Barrera takes classic elements of good and tweaks them in a way that would make Walt Disney throw out his playbook. Never has an apple been so creepy or a smile been so malevolent. I may start avoiding crystals and ladies in white altogether as well.
