# Crystalline Eden Imagery Diego Barrera Takes Viewers Through a Nightmarish Fantasy Landscape By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diego-barrera References: [designaside](http://www.designaside.com/10481/animazione/diego-barrera) & [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/23721936) If you've always found the classic images of Eden and [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-burton-light-trail) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-sandsara) and ladies in white altogether as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark Fairytales:** Opportunities for artists and writers to create unconventional, horror renditions of classic fairytales and stories. - **Creepy Imagery:** Demand for artists and graphic designers to create disturbing or haunting visual experiences for consumers. - **Fantasy Horror:** Opportunities for filmmakers and animators to create darker, horror-inspired versions of popular fantasy franchises. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Artists can experiment with creating dark, unsettling versions of classic art styles and imagery to meet the growing demand for unique and unconventional pieces. - **Entertainment:** Film studios and production companies can explore unique takes on popular fantasy franchises by infusing horror elements to attract audiences looking for fresh takes on nostalgic stories. - **Marketing:** Agencies and firms can leverage creepy or unsettling imagery in their campaigns to attract attention and differentiate their clients from competitors in crowded markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Material-Accented Dreamscape Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamscape-exhibit.md) - [Immersive Art Escape Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydream-adventures.md) - [Surrealist Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-is.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Thematic Outdoor Lights Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-burton-light-trail.md) - [Immersive Multi-Sensory Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multisensory-exhibition.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md)
