The actors freeze in place. The actors remain frozen in the dark as a clap of thunder is heard, followed by, for whatever reason, the sound of a helicopter. Then the noise goes away, the lights come up, the actors start moving again, and Mama comes back to life.

A static scene. That is, the actors do not move around or speak. They are blocked (positioned) in ways meant to communicate the relationships between the characters at that moment. The entire scene need not necessarily be a tableau; scenes can open or close with one, often held as the curtain rises or falls. Although usually scripted, a tableau might appear due to a director's decision. The original French word "tableau" is usually used to mean "painting", which the trope is partially about especially when it's ArtImitateArt.
