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.

@aenesidemusoz One of my favorite horror books is ‘The Girl Next Door’ by Jack Ketchum (he is one of my favorite writers). Absolutely horrific and disturbing novel. It couldn’t and didn’t translate to a visual medium because it would be really hard to put the content of the novel on film.
