That was pure awesomeness! Though the mirror trope really is overdone, isn't it? Figured there'd have to be some What Lies Beneath in there; I'll always remember that as the movie with the reflection in the bathtub and all the water imagery. Is it strange that I think the little boy from The Ring is as creepy as Samara? And loved the little bit from Hot Fuzz!
I don't think I've ever used the mirror jump-scare in a story, but after seeing this video I can be pretty damned sure that I will never use it in a future story.
It almost needs the mirror scene from Poltergeist to really complete it though. That one scared the bejezus out of me (I was pretty little when I saw it)

Well I've seen a decent amount at least.
Props should be given to the amazing Rich Juzwiak at FourFour (http://fourfour.typepad.com/) for this, BTW.

@Staci-Rich Juzwiak had his promo info at the end of the video, so I just left it at that :D

That is very cool... very unique idea. But it does show how over used that concept is.

@Staci: I was just about the say the same thing. As soon as I saw the first frame, I knew it was from fourfour.
This is actual cool... actual different idea. Thank you
