[Margaret Pilkington]

Still not subtle enough...the threat you pose is real and you would inflict injuries on them...ok, these would not kill them, but they would create physical pain. That would not be my way....my way the threats are the ones they themselves think I plan to carry out....messing with their heads.
That is how psychological horror works.
I would not lay a finger on them....but they would not know that.
By the time I had finished, they would WANT to die, but they would not be allowed that peace....they would have to live wondering what my next plan would be....they would believe that I meant them harm....they would get no real rest, they would get sick because they would be led to believe their food and drink was contaminated.
That is how I would do it.
A bit like voodoo.
