There’s a little thing called the uncanny valley. It’s a theory of human aesthetics which states that when “an object has human features that look and move almost but not exactly like natural human beings, it causes a response of revulsion among some human observers.” These mannequins are some of the creepiest examples of this theory. Not that they look almost exactly like humans – some don’t look like humans at all – but they are close enough to just creep everyone out.
1.) This guy needs braces.
2.) Ugh, fake legs. So weird.
3.) THOSE EYES!
4.) At least this dude looks like he wants to party.
5.) Little gangster mannequin.
6.) Giraffe neck and no body? No thank you.
7.) WHY IS THE NECK SO LONG?!
8.) Okay, this lady is definitely haunted.
9.) The trio of creepiness.
10.) Please put some clothes on these kid mannequins.
11.) They just got everything wrong on this one.
12.) Button eyes? Who thought that was a good idea?
13.) These two are yucking it up about something…and I don’t like it.
14.) What is more frightening than the faces is the fashion choices.
15.) Conehead.
16.) Oh goodness, that mouth.
17.) What happened to his arms?
18.) What’s creepier than regular mannequins? Mannequins with baby heads.
19.) How did this guy get injured? HE’S A MANNEQUIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
20.) This looks like a creepy clown without make up.
21.) “My precious.”
22.) “One of us. One of us.”
23.) It looks like he is reaching for us!
24.) The creepiest family portrait of mannequins.
25.) Why would they make a mannequin with that hairline?
26.) I have no caption for this.
I don’t know who is responsible for choosing these mannequins, but… they’re doing it wrong. So, so wrong.
