Question

why do you suppose fictional encounters with monsters both ancient and modern so often take place in caves or underground spaces?

Answer 2

I personally believe its because of the darkness these places tend to have. A person is not necessarily scared of the dark they're scared of whats in the dark. It could be anything really.

Hope it helps. :)
