I think an observer A at the EH would see their clock tick normally but a distant observer B would see observer A's clock to have stopped. This is assuming gravitational forces haven't ripped observer A to pieces. Once inside the EH, time no longer has any relevance.
I'm speculating here, but in terms of an accretion disk, the outer part of the disk would appear quite active but the inner part appear quite inert. Anyone know enough for a yea/nay to this guess. From what I've read, for a spinning black hole an accretion disk would appear to wobble due to frame-dragging.
