When I was watching the movie It, I noticed how they implement the scary introductions of Pennywise in the way of using shadows to implement the glow of his eyes which adds suspense to the reveal of Pennywise to each character. In this movie the producer uses many closeups to show the transformation of Pennywise's face as he transforms before biting/eating the kids or other characters. Another element used to invoke fear to the characters is the use of sound that the characters can hear but cant see such as the laughter of Pennywise and the other monsters.
While I was watching A Quiet Place(2018), I noticed that the producer never fully shows the monsters and keeps them off screen adding suspense and also build-up to when we see the full monster in all its might at the end of the movie. Also, this movie uses great sound design to add fear/jump scares, they do this by bringing us to Regan's perspective as she is deaf, this adds to the horror by us not being able to hear the surrounding area and what is going on in the back until the monster appears on screen.
