03:01:53:15 VS eerie zoom in on old-fashioned pendulum clock on wall which is ringing its bell on the hour. Good use of chiaroscuro to create frightening horror movie effect. Blurry ghostlike face appears over the face of the clock. Audio track plays grating music intensifying the frightening scene. Eyes of the apparition superimposed over the face of the clock rapidly look right and left. Ghost speaks: “This time that hussy Jane’s gone too far….me a treasured heirloom, a present from her husband’s own mother. Well, she’ll live to regret it. Time takes care of so many things, especially when you are a specialist in time like I am. But Jane will never suspect, she just won’t understand why she’s having so much trouble, because its all going to be completely accidental [ghost gives creepy laugh]”
