From the ancient classic mythology we learn that:
Since very ancient times some of the most interesting cultures have developed similar associations between Light -> Good Darkness -> Evil as darkness has always conveyed a sense of insecurity and uncertainty while light conveys a sense of safety and joy. From the ancient classic mythology we learn that:
2
Apollo was the son of Zeus.
He was the god of music, the god of light and the god of truth. One of Apollo's most important daily tasks was to move the Sun across the sky. Aphrodite was the goddess of love, desire and beauty. Apart from her natural beauty she’s always been portrayed in a frame of light; she represented sex, affection, and the attraction that binds people together. Aphrodite Is also called Venus.
3
Erebus is the personification of darkness, and the term was also used to indicate a region of the Underworld where the dead would go immediately after dying. Charon (in greek Χάρων = "enlightened ferocity") is the ferryman of Hades, carrying the souls of the dead; those who had not received funeral rituals were forced to wander forever without peace among the river mists.
4
In the ancient Egyptian mythology Aton the god of sun and light is, no doubt, the most important of all gods.

The cinema has often exploited the association light -> safety and darkness ->crime giving birth to an infinite series of thrillers and horror stories
