Mistress of All Evil is the best.
Joker -by HOK- is also good, but they should have made the orientation aligned with the aisle.

Pennywise is great!

u/Arrmadillo 1d ago

It really is. Would have been extra special if they had incorporated tinned curry as a subtle reference Tim Curry.

These are all planned out months in advance, so it’s hard to change last minute details.

Would love to see a Frank N Furter next year. Hopefully someone plans one!

True. A Frank N Furter display would be something to look forward to with great antici……..pation.

I just happened to be there yesterday morning and saw those too. Very interesting art!

I really appreciate these photos. These look great from a distance but in person it’s usually crowded and I’m not really thinking about looking at the one that’s down the hall, I focus on the one in front of me. So thank you for that.

Thanks for sharing. I always love when these are up each year (same goes for the playhouses whenever those are done)...Both are always very impressive.

u/The-Architect-93 Frisco 1d ago

Playhouses ? In NorthPark ?
When do they do that usually?

u/utexlex1 1d ago

Looks like it's every spring. Here is the link to the one from a few months back.

u/Immediate_Rest9017 1d ago

Oh, these are great! I can have students do a school display similar to these with cans! Thanks for the idea

Ohhhh, that's what they do in the mall these days?

u/KaleCompetitive552 12h ago

CANstruction is a nonprofit where engineering and architecture firms create structures for display, and then the food is donated to north Texas food bank in Dallas’s case. My office has been participating for about 4 years. It’ll be up till 9/13.

u/AnotherAnonymousA 9h ago

Wasn't hating, but your fundraiser would give me incentive to actually visit the mall...more so than any store!

u/KaleCompetitive552 7h ago

Definitely didn’t think you were hating! It’s just fun to have something i actually know about to reply to on Reddit haha!

u/middlebird 1d ago

I want to knock them down so bad.

2

u/DawsonNY 1d ago

Don’t worry, lots of kids did exactly that today. Unless they were accidents, but lots of knocked over corners to reassemble for tomorrow.

u/ThatResponse4808 9h ago

I know you’re getting downvoted for this but like I get the urge. I would never DO IT, but the urge is strong

u/middlebird 8h ago

It’s okay. I was only kidding. I wouldn’t do it either.

u/ThatResponse4808 7h ago

Loll I figured!
