Which best describes the imagery the poet is creating in this excerpt?

The speaker goes to his bedroom door, opens the door, and finds his lover Lenore standing in the dark on the other side.
The speaker opens his bedroom door into darkness and there is nothing there so he closes the door quickly and runs back to bed.
The speaker opens his bedroom door, stands there a while, whispers into the darkness, “Lenore,” and hears this word echo softly but nothing more.
The speaker opens his door as fast as he can to run into his room, away from the scary darkness in the hallway that has no lighting.
