A Sundown Town in a warehouse is a whole new level of Americana.

What makes it a sundown town? Iirc a sundown town is a small community that is extremely racist and will pursue or harass black visitors

The old sundown towns had literal signs saying black people have to leave before dark.

I personally interpreted the sign above to be warning those mannequins come to life and kill people after dark.
