Definition: okay, hereโs a grotesquely humorous and unsettling sentence incorporating โbackseat,โ aiming for horror and surreal dread:
โthe porcelain doll, meticulously arranged in the backseat beside the twitching, iridescent beetle-skin upholstery, winked with a single, needle-sharp eyelash as a rain of candied eyeballs began to fall from the weeping ceiling โ a decidedly sticky baptism for the recently vacated souls.โ

why this works (hopefully!)
:
"backseatโ placement:
itโs central and unexpected in a bizarre tableau.
grotesque imagery:
porcelain dolls, iridescent beetle-skin, candied eyeballs - these are inherently unsettling details.
surreal dread:
the rain of eyeballs and weeping ceiling create an illogical, dreamlike horror.
humor (dark):
the juxtaposition of delicate objects with horrific acts, the casual observation ("winked"), and the slightly absurd detail of "sticky baptism" aims for a darkly comedic effect that amplifies the creepiness.
