In the horror genre, windows are not the safest thing. They're mostly [[Soft Glass|thin breakable glass]], often big enough to let monsters and crazed madmen use it as an improvised entrance and make for a nice spot to grab unsuspecting victims to their doom. Barricading windows can be hard work if there are too many of them and more often than not whatever is trying to get through, will.
Compare [[Super Window Jump]], [[Destination Defenestration]] and [[Window Pain]], in which windows are used for for improvised entrances, deliveries and exits, rather than monsters using them.
Regardless of popular opinion, this has nothing to do with [[Microsoft Windows]].

Professor Cantonneau is attacked this way just as Tintin tries to warn him not to go near the window. Dr. Midge is then placed under police guard, but [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]] and turn away from the window just long enough for another glass-shattering attack to happen.
