Special effect reaction is entirely based on what you are used to -- Yes people were frightened by the creature in the black lagoon and King Kong back in the early days because they never saw anything like that before. People were super impressed with Star Wars for the same reason -- watch it now and it's just mehI really wonder about old horror movies, did people really find them scary with their imagination filling in for how silly it often looked? or were they just considered a silly fun time?
If it was just their imagination, it sure was doing some heavy lifting.
