The fear of the dark is less the dark, and more a fear of the unknown. Same with death, which incidently is probably a reason that people thoughout the ages turn to religion, but that's off topic.
A lot of other fears are just a fear of being out of control. Falling for example. You can't really do anything about it. Same with getting stuck.
