The elevator one seems to be real though!

The lighting on the floor is totally different to the rest. If there was an image on the floor it would be in shadow under the radiator and at the edge of the walls. It's been photoshoped in. I agree.

It's more surreal than unnerving.

If they really want to make people panic, place glass on the floor of the elevator. Of course, that makes the gimmick no longer an illusion. I like Wile E. Coyote as much as the next guy, but...
