If this has never been done before, I expect this idea to be ripped off quite some times, starting now. Pretty nice.

I suppose the zombie tie-in is the exclusive factor making the old idea new here. Doesn't escape a feeling of familiarity, though.

Would have been amazing if it was 10 times bigger. Lots of people carrying around big limbs would create a talking point.

I totally agree, should've done it with real mannequins, like a real "live" poster. Would've looked so much cooler and for sure it would get some PR. But I understand, limited budget sucks sometimes.

I'm not saying they're the same as the zombie poster,
but the trick is very similar:

Like the idea. But it looks suspiciously fake.

Not fake, but rather a ghost ;)
