I've finally figured out why I like horror books and not horror movies.

Books have to feed your imagination to build up tension, essentially letting you scare yourself.

Too many movies foreshadow and then chuck jump-scares at you with an appropriate score jab. Yuck.

I handle horror better in books because it's easier to skim ahead or read at breakneck speed to see where things are going faster, whereas with film, visuals can get stuck in my head for days and the movie dictates the pace. Not to say that books can't scare me but I think movies generally have an easier time of it because I have so little control over the experience.
