no offense but this has been beaten to death already.
there is a ton of information readily available all over the internet that will reflect the same thing you'll hear here, but it'll probably be a little more elequent.

but for a short answer ..

of course.
it's a stupid fucking question when you think of it.
what technique would a horror film director use other than to play on our fears.
otherwise it would be a comedy.
and our fears are 'Societies Fears and Paranoia'.
We are society.

As far as the cold war red scare paranoia theme in the 50's sci-fi horrors ... it's all been said before. What could we possibly add to whats been said countless thousands of times before.

Not to mention that the vast majority of the people on Horror are too young to relate - and probably havent had exposure to these films anyway.

ditto.
