Well, at any point during the scene, did you get the feeling that Nagato was
Death?

I thought it was someone else, and for a moment my mind was filled with terror. I thought my short life had finally come to an end, since even Death had come to receive me. I even thought I was in the backstage of the movie where Salieri slowly destroyed Mozart as he composed his Requiem.
“…”
Nagato's usual pale face silently emerged from the doorway. She only showed her face, while her body was shrouded in darkness.
I wasn't the only one frightened into silence, Haruhi and Asahina-san weren't any better, even Koizumi's usual smile carried a bit of fearfulness in it. Nagato was wearing a strange costume that even Asahina-san would feel startled in. She had covered herself with a black cloak, wearing an equally pitch black pointed hat, a recognizable witch outfit.
Under our petrified gaze, Nagato, who was dressed like Death, silently walked to her reserved seat by the corner, took out her bag and hard-back book from under her cloak, and placed it on the table.
Ignoring our stunned glances, she began to read her book.

Nagato scared the hell out of them in the novel, to the point that
Haruhi was rendered utterly speechless until after she sat down and started reading.
The anime really didn't convey that all too well. Sure, the basic details were there, but the overall feeling of dread was completely absent.
