Down these mean streets a man must walk. A man, get that mashup authors, a man. That's how Raymond Chandler saw Philip Marlowe. He didn't see a shufflilng zombie, or a creeping vampire. Nobody was floating down the street, or gliding ghost-like. A man walking. So just leave it alone!!

actually, in this case i agree with you, although overall i don't care much one way or another about these mashups (i admit i have no desire to read them, although some of the possible inspirations you've mentioned sound intriguing). but then Marlowe is one of my all-time heroes.
