Monsters do seem to gain popularity during times of recession and depression I agree. Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein and The Wolf Man were all made (by Universal) in the 1930's and early 1940's. Monsters seem to come in cycles. A different type came along in the 1970's and 1980's. Monsters like Jason and Freddy just to name two. Of course part of the popularity of the "end of the world" idea is also due I think to people like Harold Camping keeping it alive in the media.
