"The scene starts with a high creep factor right away, with the little kid singing about a murderer. It makes it even worse that the kids have turned it into a game, because they're having fun with something connected to a horrible crime. Once you realize there's an actual murder that occurred in the town, you start to feel more nervous, thinking something bad could happen at any moment. The mother is happily getting lunch ready at home, while the girl is walking home from school oblivious to imminent danger. When she bounces the ball against the sign about the murders, the sound of the ball hitting the sign increases the sense of anxiety. When the shadow of the man appears, he so obviously sounds evil it's almost beside the point. "
