  • At night
  • Dark
  • Isolated victim
  • Youngish female, attractive victim
  • Vulnerably dressed
  • Lights don't work - lights a candle - throws shadows
  • Noises - unidentified
  • Cluttered - looks like a confined space
  • The entrance to the attic - black
  • No music - audience listens too
  • Tension drops when handyman enters - light/sound/company
