ohh ok :o
how to explain this...
for starters 'set dressing' refers to props and such that are part of a scene of a play
they help establish the setting!
you would be able to tell a scene takes place in a kitchen if there was a stove on the set
(just for example)

(a separate train of thought begins here)
this town we are trapped in is scary
a lot of scary stories include monsters
in some subgenres they are essential!


[ She's thinking of survival horror games, in particular. ]

the background and motivation of a monster is usually not important to a scary story
they are simply there to frighten!
in a non-literal way they might be considered.....

set dressing!!
