Here's a really spooky one. 'I can't move, breathe, speak or hear and it's so dark all the time. If I knew it would be this lonely, I would have been cremated instead.' This makes you think about the horror of being trapped in some sort of limbo, unable to interact with the world and experiencing extreme loneliness.
Another great one is 'I always thought my cat had a staring problem. She does.' This plays on the uneasiness of being stared at by your pet in a way that makes it seem more than just normal feline behavior. It gives the sense that there might be something more sinister about the cat's stare.
