In the episode of the twilight zone "the monsters are due on maple street, a group of simple citizens are thrown into chaos when they believe aliens have invaded their street. They experience a sever case of Xenophobia when they believe one of them is in fact an alien. They become quick to judge and are dead set in believing one of them is a monster. This shows that even the idea of aliens causes us a humans to go into a state of panic and can even cause us to turn against one another.
In the short story Muse, a man and "slug" use one another to get what they want. In this world, the aliens are more excepted than in other stories, but there is a group that treats them like demons. This group is so obsessed with this notion that they kill the slug. They do not realize that the slug is in fact the talent behind the mans skill as a guitar player, and that by killing it, they have ended his career.
