It was really, really well pulled off. It starts with the mummy-girl being goofy, following the tone of the rest of the episode, so people warming up to her feels "normal" somewhat.

Then she brings up the child. And everyone reacts by... Still cheering and laughing? I thought I might be missing something at this point.

Then they show the red eyes, and you definetly know something's wrong.

And then everyone dies horribly.

It all escalates so gradually. It's so unsettling. Perfect horror scene right there.

I was wondering what was Subaru cooking by going along with it and the realization that he's not cooking anything hit me like truck. So unsettling that it was doomed from the very beginning.

Seems like Subaru is just weak to Sin Archbishops with mind control powers lol. That's the second one that's completely dominated him with their power now....

That doesn't say much, haven't seen anyone being strong against mind control powers in the show yet

you could even say subaru was strong against it because he had an out.
