When I saw this photo in the real estate listings, I immediately thought of Stepford, Connecticut’s creepy robotic housewives. Remember those long, old-fashioned dresses they wore? Here’s one of them from the original Stepford Wives movie (played by Paula Prentiss):
How would you caption this real estate photo? (Thanks to Holly for finding it!)
P.S. You can see the houses from both of The Stepford Wives movies here.

Please ask your clients not discuss wedding plans around Miss Havisham.
…one lump? or two?…..
Charming Victorian home for sale. Fake polygamist housewife not included.
My words are failing me….
Okay…so here goes…..
“Could we please have quiet on the set! Return of the Zombie Pygmy Brides, Take Six. Action!”
(See the little creepers on the mantel….)
Scary….
Yes, the Stepford Wife is disturbing, but why in the world are there SHUTTERS OVER THE FIREPLACE!?!?
I’m guessing the TV is hidden behind them.
The shutters were the first question that popped in my head also…
My guess is that there are shelves behind them and there trying to disguise an unsightly mess….But all they did by doing this is draw more attention to it…
Besides having great posts about movies, you also have the best sense of humor!
That’s something you don’t display anywhere… or have it, for that matter. But if you must, please hide it while selling your house.

“Matilda Jean liked the faux greenery and floral drapes so much more than the stifling decor at Macy’s, so she decided to stay.”
“Martha understood when she married John that his late wife would always be important. She thought, however, that her presence would be limited to a few photographs, and was shocked to find her stuffed next to the mantle.”
LLOL-Literally Laughing out Loud!!
I found the picture to be very scary and this sentence makes it even worse! Very creative Mike
but I don’t think I will sleep tonight :p
As Margo strategically placed herself by the fireside before the dinner party, she bemoaned the fact that she had told her plastic surgeon she wanted “Perfect, porcelain skin.”
New listing: Model home in a one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods!
“Looking for the perfect victorian charmer for you and the little missus? We’ve got it! Don’t have a little missus? We’ve got that too! Batteries not included with the house.”
Is she holding a limp doll or are they flowers? What sort of Realtor allows these things to be photographed for a listing?
ewww, it DOES look like she’s holding a stuffed doll of some sort!! creeeepy.
I’ve got nothing. I’ve always thought I had some pretty strange relatives, but this photo is proof that it could be worse. Much, much worse.
It reminds me of a more colorful version of Psycho…. I am just waiting to see Norman Bates walk in….
“Oh, we have 12 vacancies. 12 cabins, 12 vacancies. ” LOL

LOL!!! Very funny!
Caption it? I’m still trying to get over the lattice room divider, the floral valances, and the shutter doors over the fireplace. Oh, wait, whats up with the southern bell bride? This must be what the Bride in the attic of Disney’s Haunted Mansion looks like in daylight.
This is where Victorian flowery embellishments and prints go to die. That lifesize doll (seriously is this a trend?? I’m disturbed.) is beyond creepy. It definitely made me think of Stepford Wives too!
It’s the Corpse bride, run away, run away. After looking at this picture, it literately reminds me of the movie “The Corpse Bride”. I’m waiting for that girl to come to life.
I live in the original Stepford Wives town!! And believe me, they filmed here for a reason!
Yowzers!
I’m always amazed at some peoples personal taste… I’m not saying I have good taste, but come on… that’s just plain creepy!
“It reminds me of a more colorful version of Psycho…. I am just waiting to see Norman Bates walk in….
“Oh, we have 12 vacancies. 12 cabins, 12 vacancies. ”
Isa, my thoughts exactly!
Dolls have always creeped me out. Life size dolls are even worse. There’s no accounting for taste.
“And it comes with a dressmaker’s mannequin too!”
Agree with Billy, it’s misshavisham!
I don’t know what’s scarier, the woman or the mannequin.
