    Two things. People used to be insanely superstitious and many still are.

    Second, nowadays almost everyone has seen an X-Ray but they were still rare for the public in 1930. People only saw bones in cemeteries so it was associated with death. (When Röntgen took one of the first X-ray pictures of his wife’s hand, it’s said she fainted as it was like seeing her own corpse.)

      I’m not superstitious, but if I woke up in a dark room with a skeleton with glowing red eyes telling me to confess my sins…

      Maybe add a fog machine and voice distortion.
