One might want to add a 'nsfw' warning as one might get an unexpected trick while reviewing the treats.

Oddly enough, when I was watching the film for #9 (the one about Poltergeists) the metronome downstairs in my home--one of the old style mechanical ones with the weight that slides up and down--started ticking all by itself. While the cover was even still partially on it. Eerie.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

Would've been more creepy had the piano started to keep time with it.
Even more so if you don't have a piano >.>

And also, there's a goblin on the wing, but no one believes you, because you have a pig-face.

I wouldn't term that as creepy. I would term that as driving away from my house as fast as possible. See, a metronome starting up is possible if the arm wasn't secured correctly and enough vibrations over time slowly jarred it loose. A non-player piano playing by itself short of an earthquake occurring is very unlikely to have a rational explantion.

A well-executed recording set to freak out the inhabitants?
Thats if it happened once, of course.
Twice means the house burns down. Period. >.>
