I wish the murders were more murdery

There's so much camp goth drama in the show in general, like the traitor capes and the way they meet in the turret and it's all gloomy. The midnight card game, being stuck in a coffin or a cage, random b-roll of crows etc

Then when a contestant finds out they're murdered they walk into a nicely decorated, well lit living room and sit on a comfy sofa and read a little letter.

It feels out of place! I'm not saying they should drop them from their beds through a trap door in the middle of the night or anything but it just feels like it could be staged more interestingly!
