Generic elements in The Exorcist

How do generic elements encourage the audience to anticipate events in the attic scene in
The Exorcist.
 
 
 
  1. At night
  2. Dark
  3. Isolated victim
  4. Female, Young-ish, attractive victim
  5. Vulnerably dressed
  6. Lights don't work- lights a candle -throws shadows
  7. Unidentified noises
  8. Cluttered- looks like a confined space
  9. The entrance to the attic- black
  10. No music- audience listens too
  11. Tension drops when handy man enters- light/sound/company
  12. Bar shadows suggest she's trapped.
