Anatomy models are creepy. Always were, always will be, and the better they are, the worse it gets. Of course, they are essential to understanding the human body, and to that the only alternative is having an actual corpse around. Which would make an anatomy model the Lesser of Two Evils, were it not for the fact they usually show up in Horror stories. Mayhaps they are a corpse; the work of a Mad Doctor who now has to add the protagonist to their collection. Mayhaps they are a cleverly disguised member of The Undead. And mayhaps they actually are just plastic, plaster, or something else inorganic, but unless part of a work in which monsters are friendly, they'll be out to kill. Eerie anatomy models are predominantly an East Asian trope. There is no particular reason these things aren't used all that much in Western media, but the high popularity in Japan can be traced back to Gakkou no Kaidan and in particular the 1995 film in which the anatomy model was one of the more memorable youkai. The urban legend itself — that the model walks around school at night — goes back at least as far as the 1950s. Anatomy models have since become a common pick for one of The Seven Mysteries — haunting the science room, the biology lab, or rarely the infirmary — but just as easily show up as part of a full-blown Big Boo's Haunt. Sometimes, it's a two-for-one deal featuring an anatomy model ("jintai mokei") and a skeleton model ("kokkaku mokei") as a Red Oni, Blue Oni-style duo. A step further they're joined by the science room specimens of cut-open animals preserved in formaldehyde. The typical model seen in East Asian media is a full-bodied male figure that looks normal on the right side and flayed on the left side. Comedic works might make use of this by showing the model's normal side in profile first, then startling the audience or the cast by its turning. There's an analysis page that looks further into the why of a few of the above trends. It also gives context to several of the references mentioned in the examples. When it comes to skeleton models, those being actual human remains is still Truth in Television. Up until the early 20th century, it was not uncommon to preserve an actual skeleton instead of going through the trouble of reproducing one. Every so often there's another story of another school that either realizes their skeleton model is real or decides to investigate whom their skeleton model belonged to. And that's in regards to places that have principally switched over to artificial models; there are countries where digging up actual bones is ongoing. Depending on the nature of the anatomy model, Sub-Trope of Youkai, Living Statue (a Sister Trope of Murderous Mannequin), The Undead (Dem Bones in case of skeleton models), and Dead Guy on Display. May be a form of Body Horror and/or Uncanny Valley. Compare Free the Frogs, which is the closest the West has to the way Japan handles this trope, and Wax Museum Morgue, which is its artistic counterpart. |

Jewelpet: Magical Change: Airi and Ruby are tricked by Laura and Luea to come to the school late at night to investigate the local ghosts. In truth, they're all products of Luea's magic and they fail miserably at being scary. The moment the living anatomy model sees itself in the mirror, it runs away in fright. | |

In Chapter 39 and Episode 12 of Great Teacher Onizuka, Onizuka vandalizes the brand new anatomy model by cutting off its skinless half and reworking it into a costume, ostensibly to dress up as Baron Ashura. In the anime but not in the manga, Onizuka unintentionally scares Azusa with it. | |

In episode 5 of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, Kirie and Momoe gather an old anatomy model from an abandoned part of the school for a haunted house attraction. Momoe knows of a rumor that the model has lost its own heart and therefore kills people to replace it with theirs. Kirie isn't impressed and so they take it with them. Along the way, it becomes evident to the audience only that the model is alive, but not evil and limitedly mobile. There's also an old skeleton model that just might be alive based on the fact it fell over Kirie in what looks like a comforting hug. Although The Seven Mysteries are an element of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, those all relate to Yuuko and don't refer to any models being alive. This is due to the fact that the anatomy model's sapience and the skeleton model's very existence are unique to the anime and do not occur in the corresponding Chapter 19 of the manga. | |

Late at night, Isumi is banishing evil spirits from the old school building of Hakuou Academy in Episode 9 of Hayate the Combat Butler. Then Hayate and Hinagiku wander in and so Isumi possesses an anatomy model to scare them away. They, however, fight back. Isumi concludes that giving the duo a sense of victory will coax them to leave, so she triples the model's amount of arms and sticks out its ribs as if she's handling an Iberian ribbed newt. Then she makes it explode. | |

In Corpse Party: Cross Fear, either Seita or Sayako enters the Science Lab looking for Kaori. If Seita does, he can't escape the anatomical model and will have his throat crushed until decapitation. If Sayako does, the anatomical model will instead attack Doctor Amagasaki, pushing him along into a fall. Amagasaki survives that and the model by offering to kill the children himself. The model shows up again to chase after Kaori and Seita when they're headed to the dimensional exit. | |

The titular character of Pin is an anatomically accurate model that is ventriloquistically given voice by his owner Dr. Linden to entertain young patients. His son, Leon develops a split personality so he has a friend in Pin. With Pin at his side, he commits two murders to ensure nothing changes between him, Pin, and his sister Ursula, but Ursula fights back by destroying Pin when her boyfriend is harmed. Leon breaks down at losing his one friend and fully becomes Pin, losing the ability to move and to put on a voice other than his late father's deformed one. Unlike the book the movie is based on, there is a scene that makes it possible Pin is alive beyond Leon's imagination. During the hectic car ride that kills Leon's parents, Pin is in the backseat and rises up, then loses the sheet covering it. The fear this puts Leon's parents in is part of what causes the car crash. | |

An anatomy model and skeleton model duo show up as a single unit in Haunted Junction, with one important difference between manga and anime. In the manga, they're lesser ghosts among several that have their home in Saitou High School. They are useless. In the anime, they remain useless, but nonetheless they are one of The Seven Mysteries of the school tasked with aiding the Sato Holy Student Council in defeating evil spirits. They replace Beethoven's painting as the youkai associated with the dark green badge. The anatomy model is called Haruo Sato and the skeleton model Bones Suzuki. They're good only for doing That Russian Squat Dance and in the final chapter of the manga Haruo turns out to have a younger brother, who of course also is an anatomy model. | |

There's 7x7 mysteries to deal with in one of the challenges in As the Gods Will Arc II. The anatomy model debuts in Chapter 26 and is one of the traditional inclusions, although a peculiarity is that its normal half-face is a The Phantom of the Opera-like mask. It seeks out humans to turn them into art, which doesn't require them dead but sure makes them more cooperative. Fortunately, its only victim before being blown up is a wannabe rapist. | |

Gakkou no Kaidan (Anime Video Joukan): An anatomy model named Jinta is one of the eight hosts presenting the horror story segments. He does not appear in the story segments himself. In the manga, he has a best friend named Kokka, a skeleton model and apparently one made of real human bone. Jinta makes clear that he himself is from a factory. In the second segment of the first episode, a skeleton model poses the main threat to a boy who shifts from his own school into the Dream School. Forced into a life-or-death situation, the boy smashes through the skeleton. He later wakes up in his home dimension, where he finds the science room's skeleton model broken on the floor. |

The Wallflower: Sunako considers herself a creature of the dark ever since the boy she liked called her ugly. She's basically a hikikomori whose most important friend is an incomplete anatomy model she's named Hiroshi. As per Chapter 44 (or Episode 20), after she was called ugly she found it among the trash of a school and took it home, which was the start of her macabre collection. Her other friends, in order of importance, are the skeleton model Josephine, the limbless anatomy model Akira, and the skull model John. They are joined in Chapter 50 (Episode 18) by another skeleton, George Maximilian du Veloce, who is Josephine's brand-new husband. She interacts with them as if they are alive, presenting her inner ponderings as their words to her, and most people close to Sunako join in on that kind of projection. In the anime, Hiroshi is alive as the episode's presentator. He also dances during both outros and is joined by Akira and Josephine in the second one. Sunako visits an abandoned school building in Chapter 25 in the hopes of meeting ghosts, including a walking anatomy model, but to her dismay, there aren't any. |

Chapter 26 of Hell Teacher Nube stars an anatomy model in a Become a Real Boy plot. Having been around students so much, it had gained sapience and thought itself a student too. At night, it would tidy up the entire school, which made it well-liked but nonetheless feared. Nube's class came together at night to pretend class while working towards a gentle exorcism, but the revelation it wasn't human was still a huge shock to the model. It did accept the truth and was given a few hours to play with its "fellow" students as if it were a human, allowing it to go peacefully. Nonetheless, its wish to be human was so strong that it was granted by Kannon. She didn't, however, give him full skin with it, but he's good at hiding that. | |

Subverted in Spirit Hunter: Death Mark. There's an anatomy model in the preparation room in an abandoned and haunted school building. It is filled with snakes, but otherwise it is a regular plastic model. This is despite the fact that the building is home to Miss Zoo, a one-woman Cult Mad Scientist, who slaughters and dismembers humans and animals (except snakes) alike as offerings and For Science!. The anatomy model itself stands right next to a cabinet displaying preserved human body parts. But the model is just a model. Go figure! | |

There are a couple of these in the Science classroom in Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil. Although not too ghastly, the one near the classroom door does have the creepy tendency to always face directly toward you. | |

With White Day: A Labyrinth Named School, the role of the Living Manikin of Yeondu High School depends on the version of the game. Its area of action is the biology lab, but in the PS4/PC version of the remake it can also be found in the science lab and the nurse's office. In the original game, the manikin is fairly harmless as well as the "owner" of the Sanitary Gloves that enable a disarming ddong-chim to be pulled on the janitors. To obtain them, Lee Hee-Min must be exhausted and wait in the biology lab. Whether a hallucination or possessed, the manikin will approach and drop the Sanitary Gloves from its ass. It's easy to avoid thereafter (unless the bug where it won't stop chasing is encountered). In the remake, the manikin is uplifted to a proper entity, but the Sanity Gloves are removed. To get it to move, Lee Hee-Min must be exhausted and light the alcohol lamp in the biology lab. He then has to stay out of the manikin's reach until the lamp goes out, at which point the manikin will return to normal and be added to the Ghost Collection. Its related story is "The Mystery in the Biology Lab", which states that Yeondu High School is the location of a concentration camp for political prisoners from the occupation era. It elaborates that horrendous experiments on human subjects took place, and either the ghosts of the victims or the ghost of the head researcher could be linked to the manikin. It may even be so that the manikin is the reworked corpse of one of the victims. |

By the time of Corpse Party: Blood Drive, the anatomical model has partnered up with the mentally all-gone Azusa. They try to kill Yoshiki, but he outruns them. Next they encounter Magari, who has been tasked with retrieving her cult-colleague Azusa. Magari subdues both of them and logically got Azusa out thereafter, but Yuuya's fate is currently unknown. | |

Conversely, Silent Hill: Origins has a surgery model in Alchemilla Hospital that requires you to replace its missing plastic organs in order to obtain its set of glass eyes for another puzzle. In an extra-creepy twist, visiting the Dark World version of the same room sees the anatomy model replaced with a real corpse, with its guts exposed and its eyes missing. | |

There's a lower level in Omega Ranch in Deus Ex: Human Revolution where many muscle models are on display, continuously cycling through several poses. Hiding as one of them is Jaron Namir, who attacks Adam Jensen on Zhao Yun Ru's command. Once he's beaten, all models will come to stand still doing a salute. It's not explained why they do or, for that matter, what they are, but the facility houses plenty of Unwitting Test Subjects and their remains. The developers have stated the area was inspired by the Body Worlds exhibition. | |

In The Doctor Takes a Wife, despite being unable to stand the sight of anatomy diagrams, June takes a liking to the anatomy head Tim has on his desk because it reminds her of her uncle Chester. As such, she starts calling it Chester and talks to it as if it were a real person, which includes promising it that Marilyn won't be its mother (ie, that Tim won't marry Marilyn). | |

After School Midnighters stars the St. Claire Elementary School duo of Kunstlijk and Goth. Kunstlijk, an anatomy model, is a Mad Scientist, and Goth, a skeleton model, is somewhere between his Beleaguered Assistant and his Best Friend. They are set to be disposed of when the science room gets demolished the next day, a prospect that terrifies Goth but doesn't bother Kunstlijk because he's convinced they'll just go to another school. When a trio of girls vandalize Kunstlijk, he has them brought back at night by a gangster trio of dead half-skinned rabbits preserved in formaldehyde that he revived. Goth saves them from Kunstlijk on the argument that the girls should partake in the After School Midnight Party, a challenge of which the prize is one wish. The wish could be used to prevent the science room's destruction, but Kunstlijk is more interested in revenge. His tricks backfire, of course, and one launches him all the way into the town where he hides in a fashion mannequin depot. It's upon seeing the mountain of mannequin limbs that he realizes there won't be another school for him and Goth; they're over 40 years old and replaceable by the dozen. Setting aside his hatred, he goes back to ensure the girls ace the ASMP. They do and wish "to play again". Because this can only happen if the science room is spared, it, along with Kunstlijk and Goth, are restored to prime condition and the plans for demolition erased. | |

The villains of Anatomy are the Anti-Hippocratic Society, who pursue knowledge through the bodies of people they deem undesirable. Their preferred murder weapon is the poison Promidal and some of their victims are plastinated for future use. Ambitious new member Hein defies the society's controlled M.O. by poisoning his love interest and stabbing her boyfriend out of jealousy. He disposes of the boy, but plastinates the girl (after decapitating her to avoid her being recognized). He then goes after the protagonist, Paula, and her boyfriend for the same reason and with the same plan of preservation of Paula's corpse. They kill him before he kills them, though, and escape. While they are now safe, the ending makes clear that the Anti-Hippocratic Society and their practices continue unopposed. | |

In episode 28 of Glitter Force, the protagonists go investigate the ghost stories told about their school. Majorina hears of this and turns the school building into a super buffoon filled with regular buffoons, some of which take after urban legends. A buffoon-ified duo consisting of an anatomy model and a skeleton model show up as well. | |

The school nurse Yujin of Nameless has a thing for bones. Fortunately, his tastes are satisfied by artificial bones as well, and so he is in a relationship with Beatrice, one of the skeleton models in the infirmary. He is, however, not on good terms with Beatrice's half-brother Christopher, a limbless anatomy model. But Beatrice adores him so he does his best to be nice to Christopher. | |

The titular character of Pin is an anatomically accurate model that is ventriloquistically given voice by his owner Dr. Linden to entertain young patients. His son, Leon develops a split personality so he has a friend in Pin. As the story flows, Leon notes that more and more his body stiffens up and he loses his sense of touch. With Pin at his side, he commits two murders to ensure nothing changes between him, Pin, and his sister Ursula, but Ursula fights back by destroying Pin when her boyfriend is killed. Leon breaks down at losing his one friend and fully becomes Pin as a living anatomy model. | |

In Corpse Party (PC-98), the anatomical model is the critical element as to whether Yoshiki and/or Ayumi survive until the end. If it catches the duo, the model corners Ayumi, and Yoshiki can choose to run or save her. Running leads to Ayumi's bloody death. Saving her prompts Yoshiki to attack the model with a gas burner, but the model teleports behind him and shares the flames, leading to Yoshiki's death. | |

In Corpse Party Zero, the anatomical model inserts itself between the Hasegawa sisters during a momentary power outage and moves in on Shiho when the light returns. If Kaori doesn't create an escape route timely, Shiho is killed and Kaori soon after. If Shiho is saved but the sisters get caught still, Kaori is knocked out and Shiho decapitated. If all goes well, the sisters lock the anatomical model up inside the Science Lab. This only stops it for so long, as it launches itself through the window, but crashes through the floor. When much later Kaori has to escape the school, the anatomical model returns without its legs to give a steady but slow chase. | |

In Chapter 50 of Zekkyou Gakkyuu, there's a skeleton model that stands abandoned in the preparation room. It has only one desire: to be free to leave and have friends and for all that, it has to be human. It kills two notorious bullies for their flesh, but can't use their heads because those would not make getting friends easy. Then Asato, a fallen once-bully who thinks the model killed her former friends for her sake, comes to ask the model not to harm Chiba. Chiba used to be the trio's main victim but has since befriended Asato. Knowing enough, the model kills Asato and takes her head so it can go hang out with Chiba. | |

Ghost Stories: The anatomy doll appears in the second episode, where it's encountered in the hallways of the old school building by Satsuki and Hajime. Instead of running, it does a Ghostly Glide. While trying to escape, Hajime knocks over a broom that hits the anatomy doll and smashes it to pieces. This isn't the end of the doll, as its flayed hand wanders off, but at least it leaves them alone. The ending credits depict a Hyakki Yagyou in which an anatomy figure participates. It is drawn to resemble one of the human muscle figures in the De humani corporis fabrica. |
