Day 15: John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) Mash-Up - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2025:
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)

Hey, hey, it's pretty much the halfway point.  This time it's Thing #1 and Thing #2 from Dr. Seuss's "Cat in the Hat" as, well, Thing #1 and Thing #2 that became Split-Face from "John Carpenter's The Thing" (1982).  Sure, it's a joke so obvious that even I made a similar one previously with Thing #1 and Thing #2 as John Carpenter's The Thing, as have many others, of course.  But, since I guess I'll be doing mash-ups this week, I figured I could revisit that well, why not?

I debated on how realistic I wanted to go with this, but since it was a mash-up, I decided to keep it a bit more Seussian in its whimsy.  I'm debating about revisiting it before the end of the month on the opposite side of the scale.

I also thought it would be amusing to have the "Thing #1" and "Thing #2" signs on their chest weirdly merging, as well.
