That's exactly right. It doesn't help things when you read stories/watch movies or TV shows in which all someone does is look out a window and a vampire/zombie/whatever attacks. Shoot, I prefer to close the curtain of my bedroom window before it gets dark. If it's open it night I get nervous because of a story I read in one of the books in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series. Thanks a lot, Alvin Schwartz. On the other hand, though, I've thought about incorporating that into a story. I'd have the character explain, "I prefer to close the curtain before dusk because the darker it gets, the more likely I am to hallucinate the werewolf coming to get me." Then the audience would see the imaginary werewolf approaching.
