Video games, cinema and TV have created some truly haunting and disturbing images.
There's Silent Hill's Pyramid Head, the Cenobites from the Hellraiser series, and Ainsley Harriott, to name but a few...
But nothing - nothing - dreamed up by the auteurs of the horror genre comes anywhere close to the sheer inhuman abhorrence of medical training mannequins. Just browse these abominations... and try not to have nightmares.

10. GOING CLEAR
We'll start you off gently. This thing looks like more like a bad waxwork of Tom Cruise than anything else. Plus, let's face it, a bad waxwork of Tom Cruise is still less disturbing than the real thing.
9. THE STAR CHILD
It's like he has suddenly become witness to the secrets of the universe, become imbued with The Power Cosmic, and had his mind blown...

She had a fair innings. Good old Dignitas.
5. CHRIS EVANS

4. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
This one is either tripping his balls off... or he's checked into the hospital with a thyroid problem. And a Berocca tablet Superglued to his Adam's apple.
3. RACIST CHINESE BEAUROCRAT
There's no getting away from the fact that on first glance this dummy looks like an outdated and offensive Mandarin caricature. Your disgust at this will only last a moment... before being overwhelmed by your disgust upon realising that those are REAL HUMAN TEETH.
2. CHILD OF THE DAMNED
Words almost fail us. It's like something out of The Exorcist, or The Walking Dead. Only a zillion times worse.
1. BRACED FOR IMPACT
It's either a medical training dummy, or a still from the upcoming Barberella remake, as "directed" by Josh Trank...
