For every great mashup there are 99 that aren't so good, but it's rare that a fun concept gets thrown in to take the two properties being mashed, and actually mixes them into something inventive.

Today we have one such video: it takes Netflix's recent throwback hit Stranger Things, and mashes it up with The Peanuts. However, it's how the video approaches the mash up concept that makes it worth watching.

This is clearly a true fan of both properties. It gets the characters from both sides well enough to create what one could call a "spiritual mashup" and not just an audio/visual mash, or quick edit footage reel - especially The Peanuts.

This video pretty much nails the existential crises that Charlie Brown used to express, sitting in "sessions" on Dr. Lucy's couch. Getting that theme down is hard enough - but marrying it to a fabrication of Will Byer's existential crisis after coming back from the upside-down is impressive. The adaptation of Stranger Things characters into Peanuts characters is also pretty funny (Demogorgin Snoopy FTW!).
