Found this sitting on a wall in an upstairs bedroom. It was about 1 inch long or a little longer, black, and had antenas that you cannot see very well from this pic. Not sure how he got in. Should I be worried about more?

It's a click beetle (family Elateridae); harmless accidental intruder. place it on its back, and it will flip itself upright with an audible 'click.'
