Uncanny and The evil eye

I posted two movie scenes that immediately came to my mind when I started to read Freud's Uncanny.

They're creepy, but in an uncanny way and they depict stories in which children find hidden worlds. Eyes and tunnels played a major role in both movies.

Freud talks about how fear (the uncanny) can´t be depicted in tales, because we always know that these are not real. The eerie shall only function in the real world to give people the right feeling. But somehow, we must surely have been trained to feel these feelings or have something to link them to. Dreams? Films?
