I agree with you Dup. I think the point is context. Like, things that are acting out of character from the way we expect are frightening. Like creepy kids in movies. They're like two feet tall and couldn't reasonably offer any real threat to adults. But when they're standing around all staring eyed and grim faced it's off putting.
