There are plenty of politicians around the world who seem hell-bent on doing their best to horrify voters with their policies, actions, and rhetoric – all of which contributes to them becoming scary power-crazed villains in many peoples’ eyes.
The scaremongering coming out of the US Presidential elections, Brexit, and various international immigration debates is enough to encourage everyone to watch in fear from behind a cushion.
So given their ability to induce ranging levels of fear, anger, and revulsion, it’s pretty easy to imagine these powerful figures as the lead characters in iconic horror movie scenes, right?
Well, even if you’re having trouble picturing Putin as Dracula, Hillary Clinton as Annie Wilkes, or Malcom Turnbull as HellRaiser, DesignCrowd’s creative community is here to bring those nightmares to life.
The designers were asked to use their Photoshop skills to imagine a political figure from around the world in a well-known scene from any recognizable horror movie.
And they didn’t disappoint, with dozens of scary scenes all submitted ahead of Halloween.
