Don't know if you're a fan of Dr Who but in this most recent two parter they talked about human's 'irrational fear of the dark'. It's pure symbolisim but it freakin rocks because nothing sets the mood for a good old fashioned freak story than thunder in the distance and rain pounding down confusing your vision. You tell yourself "I'm not going to get caught up in this- it's corny." But you do.
The thing with the dr is he was like- "Almost every race has this irrational fear of the dark that no one understands but the thing is, there is a reason for it."
But I like the Twilight Zone's spin on the 'dark' frankly. "There's nothing in the dark that isn't in the light" But then that can come with even more implications...
And I also find your other points interesting. It's not a story book but a show from the 80's called Dallas had a pretty bad two or three seasons because they got a new producer who had no clue. Larry Hagman was adamant about firing him and getting someone else because if they didnt he said the show would last 2 seasons, 3 at the most. If they brought back there old producer- it would last at least another 5 or 6 and he was right. But it was because they were being stupid with the plot line.
