The thunder also exemplifies villain associated elements, as well as danger. The idea of nature can relate to the couple consuming natural, human bodies.

The tone rises to an uncomfortable high pitched sound, thus increasing tension ad apprehension. There is also a piano sound, that is continuously playing like a fast clock. It suggests that time may be running out, or catching up to them. The sound of occasional notes intensifies anxiety amongst the audience.
