Eyes in the Shadows
Eyes in the Shadows adds a flying Eyes mob to Minecraft 1.7.10 whose behavior, aggression and passivity can be tuned in the config.
What it does
The mod backports the Eyes from the 1.7 darkness update as a flying mob that walks in the world. Most of its properties are configurable, including how it reacts to tamed Wolves, Ocelots, Cats and other mobs. Aggression can change with the light level, so the Eyes grow more hostile in darkness. The mod can also make the Eyes entirely passive, and passive Eyes can spawn in peaceful mode. Some of its content is tied to the calendar, since the Eyes weaken as Halloween approaches.
The mod is a Forge mod for 1.7.10 only, and it requires UniMixins to run. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Thaumcraft integration is listed as a possibility, where a jumpscare could warp the player.

Passive mode
Eyes can be made entirely passive, and passive Eyes can spawn in peaceful mode.

What the author says
The barrier between the world of the living and the world of the dead is already thin in the Minecraft lands. The days as Halloween draws closer, it weakens down even further. If you see the eyes, don't turn away from them.
