But then, neither the book nor the movie of The Exorcist spooked me even remotely, so I be weird.
The movie didn't do anything for me either. But then again, neither did Kubrick's Shining. Love the book, though.
And my all time fave is It. It grooves on the "the monster is what you fear the most" theme, and I think King is at his best when writing from a child's innocent/sophisticated POV.
Yeah, love that one. I want to read it again.
I just read The Stand. That was pretty good stuff, though the last few hundred pages felt a little anticlimactic.
