In the country we are also accutely aware of the power of nature, a force that is beyond our control. We become aware of the fact that the environment itself is alive and full of little critters watching us.

The city is less organic and, as a result, it feels more controlled...safer.

Don't forget about the in-between place, the suburbs. Halloween & Nightmare on Elm Street both took place in a quiet residential neighborhood.

It's not as if people run to help when they here you scream, when I was nearly killed the cops basiclly treated me like a joke. But I grew up in the country and still think there is something eary about the middle of no where!
