In 1943, Alfred Hitchcock produced a film entitled, ‘Shadow of a Doubt’. This action would cause others unease and uncertainty about the validity of a statement or belief.

Regardless, visual and mental images of shadows can conjure up feelings of impending doom, or suggest that something sinister is about to happen.
