In a way. There were a lot of things like this in the 80s & 90s, but it's not exclusive to those times. Yoko Taro's games and Mamoru Oshii's films (GiTS '95/Innocence, PS2 Drakengard, Automata, Jin-Roh and Grave of the Fireflies to an extent) are really the only ones in recent memory that have fully captured this feeling. It's the sense of wonder, the uncomfortable curiosity, the horrific mysticism of things feeling out of touch or unexplainable by any means. In Automata, when you and 9S are heading to the final confrontation with Eve, the combination of the music, the behavior of the machines around him, and who or what Eve is being unexplainable, he and Adam rewrote the established rules of the world from the first time you meet them, and the knowledge that Pascal and his friends at the village are safe, brings about this feeling of melancholy, curiosity, and horror.
