Mashups are a fun way to pose a supposed scenario between two similar elements, as Berk Senturk's 'Oh Hi' series depicts characters from pop culture crossings paths for hilarious and thought-provoking results.
The majority of these figures will be recognizable by most individuals who are up to date on their contemporary movie trivia. The joy in these series is finding the commonality between the two characters. Woody from Toy Story and Chucky from Child's Play don't have much in common besides being children's toys, one more sadistic then the other. Marty McFly and The Terminator wouldn't really have much to talk about other than the ups and downs of time travel.
The only illustration that stumped me is the cast from Ghostbusters running into Freddy Krueger. I suppose they would be trying to catch him, he technically is a ghost after all.
