    Default What is the scariest book you've ever read?

    What is the scariest book you've ever read? For me, I still think that it is probably The Shinning by Stephen King. Not that I really read a lot of horror stuff, but I haven't come across anything that freaked me out more than The Shinning. Granted, I did read it about 10 years ago, but still.

    If anyone has a book they think is more scary, let me know what it is. Don't tell me anything about it though, just the title and author.

    Heh, I knew it was going to be that clip. I really liked the movie version of The Shinning (the Jack Nicholson one) but it steered pretty far from the book.

    Not really a scary book but it really gave me the creeps. In the book "Marathon Man" when the author described the dental prodedure the "dentist" used as torture.

    Gave me chills. I think of that every time I'm in the dentist's chair.

    The whole scene starts in the book where he's in the bathtub. He hears someone in his apt. He's kidnapped and is taken to the "dentist" for interrogation.

    Here's a clip from the movie version (it's a pretty long one):

    Yeah, I saw the movie of Christine. A lot of the movies from Stephen King's books were crap, but you can see why they'd be more scary in a book. IT, for example, was just funny, but I can tell that it would be a good read. Thinner on the other hand, I'm not so sure about.


    I've heard of Marathon Man, but didn't know anything about it. Perhaps I'll have to check that one out.

    Read the book...it's way better for the imagination than the movie.

    Well I will say He did do a good job with the remake of The Thing. And, there isn't a whole lot you can do in a two hour movie,, But,, if He had delved into what Arnie was going through in His mind.. The movie would have been way better...
