I like short scary stories, I can’t do full on novel. I can’t stand the slow burn, I’m a scaredy-cat. I tried and I was a mess for reading at night lol it’s true what they say, your mind conjures scarier things from reading a book than what you watch in movies
Used to have a lot of scary things happen. Lived in an old farm house built in 1880s surrounded by corn fields. Would see the hat man in the upstairs of my bedroom which was the very back room of the upstairs. Lots of scary stuff happened. I could write a short book of it lol. Google hat man. It was terrifying
Meeee! The music in horror movies is unbearable. ? I’ve noticed they make it so you can’t hear when people speak so you turn the volume up and at the first scary bit you get a heart attack. 🙁
Nope. Movies are over in usually max 2 hours. I’m a visual person so the scary images might linger in my mind for a while. But if I read a scary book, not only am I expoed to it longer, but the images are literally embedded in my subconscious. ?
Individually based. I like either, so long as it’s done right!! Alien trilogies were wonderful movies. But thw book about a true story of cryonics, Frozen made me paranoid and crazy for a couple days.
Me! I hate the whole “jump scare” part of scary movies but I actually like somewhat scary books (then I guess I suppose the scariest things I’ve actually read were Stephen King and gory books so maybe it doesn’t count.) Somehow I also really like horror/gory anime but just not live action movies.
yet to find a scary book!
Frozen, by Larry Johnson. No, it’s not what Disney based the movie off.
A suggestion! 🙂
So much better!
I’m going to try a few scary books. I can’t do scary movies at all lol
Oh yes!
Me ?
Yesss sooo much better!!
Love the books. Can’t watch the movies!

Oh yes ! I’m more affected by gory books than gory movies !
Me, I don’t do scary movies
Yes I can read it but not see it,
Absolutely.

I like both, although Robert Bloch was a killer horror author.

Lol I always would have to watch a Disney movie or a comedy after a scary movie
Lol me too! Or a lot of kitten videos 😉
Ooh, true. The time length DOES make an impact!
I read “It” but I’ll never watch the movie:)

I love both, depending on the type of scary – I don’t watch or read torture type stuff.

I prefer horror books
I’m better w movies bc my imagination can go crazy and b more terrifying than what I’m even reading. Movies r a little more mindless
The books are way better
Scary books over movies always
yep
Yes, actually!
Oh yes. I hate scary movies but don’t mind scary books ?
