This Mannequin Head Crushed By City Garbage Truck is Terrifying

By  Nicole Levy and Gwynne Hogan | May 13, 2016 12:35pm | Updated on May 13, 2016 12:50pm

It's a sight gruesome enough upon first look to inspire nightmares and "Friday the 13th"-franchise reboots.

The head of a brunette mannequin was spotted poking out of a garbage truck hopper near the intersection of Flushing and Wilson avenues Friday morning.

We think it's no coincidence that the beheaded mannequin made its horrifying appearance on Friday the 13th, a day whose reputation as the unluckiest day of the year has inspired horror movies and a tradition of widespread paranoia every time it marks the calendar.

So go ahead, gaze upon the picture above, and indulge in your paraskevidekatriaphobia. We're right here with you.
