Mannequin
this one certainly seems to have been one that was the basis for the 80s film Mannequin?

The After Hours
Not sure, however, they do reference the episode in Mannequin I think Evening Primrose was more a influence |

There's a brilliant 25 sec editing sequence...
...about midway through where all is silent, and there are closed shots of the mannequins (surrounding Marsha) as they're trying to get her to remember. These shots in silence quick cut from one mannequin to the next, increasing in speed as the camera slowly zooms in closer to their motionless faces. The effect of this is a chilling stillness and quiet intensified to the point where the imagery almost becomes sound! By the end of the sequence it almost feels like someone's screaming. The release comes as one figure finally says something like "just who do you think you're fooling?" Never seen this effect anywhere else...the Lang film 'M' comes to mind, but that's very different in it's execution. It's the silence (no dialogue, no music) that makes the moment so powerful. It made this episode unforgettable to me, that and Anne Francis' performance. In my top 5 episodes. Last edited by willie's ALIVE; 16th September 2011 at 06:27 PM. |

I'm close to saying that this is my favourite episode. I think I always found mannequins, especially undressed ones, scary as a kid as well as being stuck/lost in a department store with my mum. I love this episode, it doesn't lose it's creepiness. |

Definitely one of the most atmospheric I think.
