These objects are all stereotypically made to scare an audience. They create an uneasy back ground to build up to a situation that may make you jump or give the audience a thrill.
Camera shots & editing that may be used in a horror/ thriller:-
Establishing shots to show the audience the location. Close ups that can focus on the main act of the crime or on the face of the villain/killer to scare the audience. Low angle or high angle shots to differentiate the villain/killer from the victim. They will also use shot reverse shot in the editing to quickly show the reaction of the victim to seeing the villain or seeing someone dead on the floor for example.
