About horror elements. What's it called?

Basically the back hall in Amnesia after the waterlurker encounter.

Unsure what it's called, but I think it does have a name. It's basically contrasting the scares to make you feel more relaxed and more easily affected by what's coming. Wish I knew this, I've had quite a bit of literature in school. Heh, shows how useful that was.
