🍇 Vidar Volkov: pet sematary's actually pretty meh to me, though the whole concept is straight-up disturbing if you really think about it
Elin: those classics have more staying power than most movies can muster
Miawex: what's the logic behind saying they're scarier when you can feel the atmosphere build up in your own head? that drawing on the wall does nothing for me compared to what those
Diegofalkxo: you can't just reduce horror to tropes and say some books are scarier than movies but honestly what even is the scariest aspect of Hill House or Pet Sematary
Ember Shard: this list is fine but have you actually read The Shining by King? it's not just a couple lines on here
Elin: haven't read pet sematary yet, but hill house is seriously a masterclass on atmosphere and tension - no need for gore to be scary
Obsidian Pulse: come on collider, you can't just slap some static and a cute cat image together and expect us to take this list seriously 🐱
Lena: I've got to respectfully disagree - there's something about The Shining by King that still sends shivers down my spine, even after all these years 🌲
Aidenellis: never gonna read 'em all but theshill house has always freaked me out way more than any movie
Marek: seriously though haven't you guys read The Turn of the Screw by Henry James? it's like the OG horror classic and still holds up today no movie adaptation could ever do it
Sana: shirley jackson is a master, no debate needed
Void Cinder: people actually get scared from books still, that's weird
Irisholt: horror books have this weird intimacy to them, ya know?
Vera: idk what's scarier, the idea that these books are actually more frightening than movies or the artwork accompanying this list, a cute cat on a white wall
