You can keep trying to connect people's fears to the particulars of their times... truth is you will always find some excuse.

Which is just another way of saying there is natural human need for scary stuff - always has been, always will be. Kids tell scary stories under the blanket with flashlight, they grow up and some of them go on making scary movies.

So you might as well say the movie X was scary because it was made in October, when something bad was happening... but something bad happens every day.

PS. By Welles I meant Wells, but it kinda works either way! :)
