And then there is that one notable Twilight Zone episode featuring a young and beautiful Anne Francis who doesn't know that she is in fact a department store mannequin who had been granted her time out in the world as a living breathing human. (...one of Serling's better episodes, I've always thought) Link to post Share on other sites

It's already a GEICO commercial Haha I LOL when I saw that commercial. No, the mannequins don't have names, although when someone wants to smoke I'll say, "Gotta smoke upstairs with Marsha" It's the "Smoking Area" because the smell dissipates upward & out. My gals (& one creepy 1940's child) are actually set up in front of the window around a small table surrounded by chairs just like in the commercial. Arms, legs & torsos hang from the rafters. I light them up at Halloween, they totally creep out anyone who sees them. It's funny they're always there but no one ever looks up. Link to post Share on other sites

And taking a page from William Castle's playbook, it sounds like it'd be a good place to show Kubrick's second ever film here, Tiki... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
