    Never have, to my knowledge.  However, when I was much younger--we're
talking sleeping a crib here, but I can still remember it--I remember
hallucinating store mannequins, the stylized headless kind, leering over me
as only headless, faceless store mannequins can.  To this day, I find horror
movies with animated mannequins intrinsically scarier than other horror
movies.

    Of course, nightmares about store mannequins could never compare to the
horror that was the commercial for the movie "Magic."
