Same thing as take the life out of a room, kind of. It's like, someone comes, does something, leaves an entire room full of people in shock or something ... or else just kills everyone else's buzz. It makes a room tense, for sure, and awkward.

The person casts a pall over the entire room. Anything pleasant
evaporates when that person is around.

It isn't a compliment.

It means the person takes all the attention for themselves - usually said about a narcissist
