What’s a book or movie that genuinely scared you?
Right now I am reading a book, “Violent Faculties by Charlene Elsby”, and it’s really scary, so much so that I found it tough to read in between. Now I am about to finish it and understand the author’s perspective and reasoning behind the torture she inflicted on her human subjects; I can be a little lenient. I loved the blend of Philosophy and Horror.
Overall, I am a big fan of Slasher movies, and my recent favorite is the “Terrifier” series. Those movies are really brutal, and each one is more horrific than the last. I watched them all alone, and to a large extent, they scared me; I even questioned why I was watching them. Other notable mentions are “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” (original), “IT”, “Hellraiser”, “Evil Dead”, and so on.
I also like reading horror novels depending on my mood. My favorite horror author is Stephan King, and so far my favorite novel is “Pet Sematary”, which haunted me. The story is very simple, but it has elements that scared me. By far, it’s the best horror novel I’ve read.
How about you? What’s your favorite horror movie/series/book, and what makes it different from other works in the genre?
Happy Reading! Keep Traveling!!!
