I think I read Pet Semetary in grade school because I liked the movie, but I'm too much of a snob to know what you guys are talking about.
But I'm curious: does horror really scare? I mean, are there really stories/novels that actually freak you out as much as a movie can?
I remember In Cold Blood scaring me when I read it in high school, so I know the written word can provoke fear, but I think Capote's book is far removed from the current discussion.
