it obviously stems from the isolation of he country versus the population density of the city, where someone would actually hear you screaming and the police are a constant (and really annoying) presense.
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.
