According to Snopes.com, a website dedicated to investigating urban legends, the figure is a cardboard cutout "standee" of Jack, wearing a tuxedo and top hat, that was left on the set. This prop was created as part of the storyline, in which Jack, an actor, appears in a dog food commercial, but this portion of the story was cut from the final version of the film. The standee does show up later in the film, however, when Jack stands next to it as the baby's mother comes to reclaim her child. Snopes contends that the figure in the first scene looks smaller from its appearance in the latter scene because of the distance and angle of the shot, and because the curtains obscure its outstretched arms. As for the contention that a boy died in the house, all the indoor scenes in the film were shot on a Toronto soundstage, and no residential dwellings were used for interior filming.[

The scene in Carnivale (can't remember which season) when the reverend has had the blond girl in his room, and his sister comes in and finds her cowering beside the bed.

Maybe not the most unlikely movie/series, on second thought!

In case anyone isn't aware of the SpongeBob Squarepants character, Patrick Star and his occasional psychopathic meltdowns; this music played when Patrick announced he was going to keep SpongeBob in a jar of formaldehyde so they could always be together:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ8IpWuJTFE&feature=fvsr

the scene in disney's the hunch back of notredame where Frolo is talking to spirits freaked me out just because it was such a powerful scene so, I usually skip that scene when I watch it!

Also, I agree wicker that music you brought up is very creepy!
