I'm doing a study on how art is used to protest.

I need to find examples of cases where art activists have taken something normal and turned it into something scary, taking advantage of the "fear factor" to make people understand what they're fighting for.

A good example is when people take Ronald MacDonald and turn him into something from a horror movie (not that Ronald isn't already that).

I really only need pictures; big news stories and all that are not needed. There just has to be enough information for me to reference it in a bibliography.

Thanks, everyone!

I don't know if this is what you mean, but maybe take a look at some of the political cartoons Dr. Suess did?- some of then are kinda made into monsters, or well his style, you know. Maybe this isn't what you mean.

There's a commercial that fights against coke bottles and stuff from around the super bowl time. It's a public awareness message that could be used.

Street art is really good at this.

"The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
