The Hillywood Show
The Hillywood Show© is the brainchild of sisters Hilly & Hannah Hindi. They create videos which mashup famous TV shows or movies with reworked pop songs. The parodies are known for their amazing recreations of the sets and details of the show or movie -- along with a lot of singing and dancing.

Osric Chau, himself a keen cosplayer, first appeared in the Hillywood's parody of The Walking Dead in November 2014.
