The Halloween Post: Something Wicked This Way Comes, Anastacia's Antiques

Anastacia's is a unique and creepy antique store in Philadelphia.  Around every corner sit silent incongruous tableaus.  I couldn't help thinking that throughout the store something was amiss.... and that feeling gave me a sense of dread.  It was like something out of a Ray Bradbury short story.  Sounds a bit too melodramatic?  Take a look at the photographs and tell me what you think.

"The pictures were moving, each in its turn, each for a brief minute or two. There in the moonlight, with the tiny tinkling thoughts and the distant sea voices, it seemed, each little drama was enacted. Whether it took an hour or three hours for the dramas to finish, it would be hard to say. I only know that I lay fascinated and did not move while the stars wheeled in the sky.

Eighteen Illustrations, tighten tales. I counted them one by one."

Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man
