Creepy Mannequin Pranks By Devilish Artist Freak Out Children & Adults In His Guerilla Campaign

Some inanimate objects in this world come with an easily weaponized creepiness all their own. Want irrefutable proof?

If the Weeping Angels are just a bit “passe” for your bystander-trolling tastes, take a queue from guerilla artist Mark Jenkins and employ a few unsettlingly positioned mannequins to send onlookers backing slowly to the other side of the street. After all, the living-plastic Autons that terrorized Rose Tyler from a fashionable London department store right into the path of the Ninth Doctor never seem to get their due, the poor things. Employing equal parts element of surprise and a certain cheeky mischief, his body of work ranging from a suicidal dummy preparing for a plunge off a building and another doing a superb impression of a drowning victim lying face-down in a pond to a girl holed up inside a trashcan certainly makes a statement.
