One of the scariest things you can see on film is something you know is ''not'' alive acting as if it is; statues move, eyes of dolls pop open, parts of the architecture animating of their own accord. This can happen as someone is watching it, or out of the corner of the eye, ceasing as soon as the character looks right at it. It doesn't matter, it is more than enough to send some unstable souls over the edge into madness (followed quite often by death).

* One of the headstones near the front of the line for [[The Haunted Mansion]] at [[Disney Theme Parks|Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom]] has what appears to be a bronze relief of a woman's face, with eyes closed, on it; if one watches it for long enough, the eyes open and the face seems to try to speak.
* A headstone for a woman named Leota, found right next to the entrance of [[The Haunted Mansion]] at [[Disney Theme Parks|Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom]], has what appears to be a bronze relief of a woman's face, with eyes closed, on it; if one watches it for long enough, her eyes open, her head moves, and she looks around before closing her eyes and going still again.
