The Shop Of Your Nightmares

We found a book from 1984 that features the 'best' shop fronts of the year called 'Store Windows That Sell'. 

If by 'sell' they mean scare the living day lights out of you, make you hide behind a damn lamppost then these shops got it spot on.

How freaky are these??

1.  The Demon Bride of Bergdorfs

 Is it too much tulle?  Or weird lighting?  Whatever it is, she looks like a ghost with an army of feathers waiting to scare you through your window.  



2.  Demon Children of Macy's

The expressionless bunnies are bad enough but the children are giving me the heebeegeebeez.  That one in the middle, she's out to get me.

3.  The Crazy Mums of Macy's

 This looks like the pillow fight to end all pillow fights. There's not even a mattress.  That one in the far corner, she ain't got a chance.


 4.  Mental Minnie of Macy's

Can you imagine waking up to this skinny version of Minnie Mouse waving at you? 


5.  Macy's Mad

 These two.  These damn two.  They're furious.  What are they trying to sell me here?
 

 6.  Filene's Resident Axe Murderer

This one isn't even trying to be subtle. 


7.  Boutique Des Amoureux

 This is under the 'Back To School' chapter.  Who are they trying to kid?


8.  Courreges Psycho

Since when is it appropriate to react with the 'Psycho' stance when someone gives you an umbrella?
