This is just viral marketing for the new B-Movie, “Deadly Dummies from the Deep!”, aka, “Mankini Manakin Massacre!”

I used to be the horrified onlooker in department stores, because a lot of those mannequins never had heads. Maybe marketers figure they block the view across the floor or would require hats.

When making What We Do In The Shadows, a scene was filmed, but not included in the movie, where the three main vampires hold a funeral for their flatmate who was killed by sunlight and dump him in the harbor. The prop body floated away and couldn’t be retrieved, so the filmmakers put out a press release alerting people that if a charred skeleton washed up on shore it was just a movie prop.

Mannequinnado!
Then, two charred skeletons washed up on the beach.

That was worth a good minute of giggling for me. Thank you.

I actually laughed when I saw the picture because, oh my gods, that is pretty horrifying. Someone’s going to be inspired by that image to do a monster design for a horror movie…

Now I want to get some mannequins, weight them down with cinder blocks, dump them offshore, and wait for the rope tying them to the cinder block to decay.
I am a bad person.

No need for the whole mannequin; all you need are the arms.
I presume they float; put enough weight on the shoulder end so that the forearm protrudes above the water.
Wait for a flood & for the inevitable newscrews to arrive, & conduct a broadcast with the swollen river in the background.
Drop the arms in the river upstream of said newscrews…
See? You’re not a bad person!
