Monster Mannequin

Seadrift Image 13

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

From "Monster Mash," by Bobby Pickett and Lenny Capizzi, 1962

Great lyrics to go with this image. Fun shot and wonderful processing.

@sherri: Thank you. Like I told danthro, I had a different version of this in mind, with two figures showing in the adjacent window, but I just couldn't make it work.

This is freaky shot, very scary,

@Persian King: Really? I'd have thought more weird or amusing.

danthro from Suburbia, United States

this is really creepy and really cool at the same time! looks like we're looking through a window and at the reflections on it. absolutely love the tones.

@danthro: Well, that is what you're looking at. I found building for sale with three weird mannequins in the windows. There was a freaky looking "Dracula" sort of old man and an "Elvira" looking sort of woman in the other window, and "Frankenstein" in this one. I wanted to use the shot that showed all three figures but I just couldn't make it work.

Baz from Teglia, United Kingdom

That's great, well done!
