i havent been scared by a movie since i was a kid ..
but i disagree completely.

The music is what scares you in a movie ..
You dont get sudden carefully placed bursts of soundtrack when reading a book.

Well I try as much as possible to dim down the lights and get rid of every noise when reading a scary book. Makes it eerier. Could can work things out to make it scarier.

When I was about 13 I read the short story "The Boogeyman" by Stephen King (out of his collection "Night Shift"). It creeped me out so bad that I think I blacked out.

As an adult, House of Leaves.

As a kid, I'm sure there were a bunch, but I don't remember.

The Exorcist without a doubt. Reading it late at night, with all the ambient sounds of the house adding to the already overactive imagination can give you the serious creeps.

The Hyde Effect was another that was eerie and had some good scare factor, especially the last act which made you feel the fear of those involved. With the right director and some cleaning up, this would be an excellent werewolf movie. Something we seriously need, I am TIRED of vampires. lol

Helter Skelter made me sleep with the light on for about a week when I read it in high school. The last twenty pages when they desrcibe other unsolved murders possibly linked to teh Manson Family was especially chilling.
