Eschers skull in the eye reminds us of mortality. He is teasing us with the one who watches over all of us, the fate of each of us, death. There is no great expanse of life for us all, just the small time we have, constantly being watched by death just drawing nearer to our destinies.
In fact Escher is an illusion artist, so the picture is therefore an illusion- you are looking into the eye of someone and seeing write through to their skull which is obviously impossible so forth creating the illusion.

The eye of Horus is actually a good thing, so no need to be concerned. According to legend, the falcon looking god Horus was in a battle with another god of the time Seth. They were fighting for the throne. Horus lost his eye during the fight. It was restored and he won the battle. Ever since, Horus was viewed as a protector of Egypt; he is also the sky god. The meaning of the eye simply is protection, it was a popular symbol to the egyptians representing Horus and his protection. Although people do have their own weird thoughts and beliefs, it is not a bad symbol. They probably do not know the history or story behind that exotic eye.
