Generic elements in The Exorcist

How do generic elements encourage the audience to anticipate events in the attic scene in The Exorcist?

 
  • At night
  • Its dark
  • Isolated victim
  • Young-ish female, attractive victim
  • Vulnerable dressed
  • Lights don't work-lights candle
  • Noises in the attic
  • Cluttered confined space
  • The entrance to the attic is black
  • No music-audience listens too
  • Tension drops when man enters with torch, speaking and company
  • Bar shadows suggest she is trapped
