Mario and crew turned into flesh eating, wrench-wielding monsters

I can’t be the only one who dreams of one day playing a dark, gruesome Mario game (or Mario parody, since that isn’t too likely to happen). It seems like there are always genius internet artists feeding that dream, too.

Through the power of photography, mrksaari over on flickr has realized an awesome, violent, and zombified visual style for the Mario gang. Hit the link above to view more from his series, including a close-up of Zomb-Toad that is sure to terrify.
