"Tommy: It's the monster. It's the monster. Charlie: No more talk, Steve. You're going to talk us into a grave! You'd let whatever's out there walk right over us, wouldn't yuh? Well, some of us won't. Steve: its Pete Van horn. Woman One: You killed him Charlie. You shot him dead. (Page 678-679)" This quote shows that everyone was scared because Tommy said "Its the monster".

Charlie... the lights just went on your house. Why did the lights just go on. Charlie: Look. look I swear to you... it isn't me... but I do know who it is … I swear to you, I do know who it is. I know who the monster is here. I know who it is that doesn't belong. I swear to you I know (Page 680-681)".
