The clock with the skull in it

Is it in this film that there is the coffin-shaped wall clock (real size coffin) with the skull in it? I don't remember to what horror film it belonged.
I think I have seen it for sale on the internet also, it was somewhere in England in an antique shop. I have seen it in the film Young Sherlock Holmes in the antiques shop where Waxflatter dies.
Can anyone help? I need to find out what film it was in and may be the shop that was selling it. Thank you.

it was in 'ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW' I believe, riff-raff dances around it during the 'time warp'. It was a skeleton inside a grandfather clock/coffin w/ the skull showing thru the glass window

correct, that's the one. They said it was scary to own and nobody knew where the skull came from. I saw it a few years ago on the internet by randomly hopping from site to site, they were selling it in an antiques shop in England (for a unexpected reasonable price I must say).
