Uow, Gramma is really terrifying! When he has to check on her, but is afraid to go to the room!
I wonder how much this thread will change now that Revival is here.
The scene in Christine, when Christine is chasing the car in the state park. If headlights get to close to my car in a deserted area, I get shivers up my spine.
Let's just put stuff from Revival in spoilers for the time being is all.
The Jaunt is one of my top three favorite sK shorts, due to how well it is written, as well as how it ends...
The little boy, who by then had spent a virtual eternity in Eternity - with all attending monstrous inconceivabilities, hugenesses, en-endingnesses - emerging completely beyond insanity.
Lisey's Story
Boo'ya Moon scares me; the fact that it exists at all, the sheer weirdness of it, not to mention the giant monster there.
Difficult to make a list ... IT..Carrie..Cujo..Cimiter living - and many others - some works I have frightened, inquietato..altre made me sad ..romanzi that made me live
...the culvert scene in Big Driver still clings to my mind....
In The Tall Grass - the whole story. I found the subject matter so disturbing I found it was hard to read. I still can't bring myself to re-read it.
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
Yeah, I enjoyed the jaunt, fascinating subject matter, makes you think how you might deal with such a situation, then makes you shudder at the idea.
1. It (my absolute favorite so far):
- the standpipe scene
- Mrs. Kersh scene
- 29 Neibolt St. hobo scene
- Timmy Baterman story
- Rachel returning from the dead
- The morgue scene
- Kurt Barlow killing scene
- Room 217
- Stu vs. Eld
- Lincoln tunnel scene
- Elroy in Oatley's Tap
- Reuel vs. Jack
- Gramma attacking the kid scene
Several scenes in It. The Library scene was a big one. I always saw my hometown library when I read that. But several others as well.
The Library Policeman: when he pushed his boxcutter up to the protagonist's neck. I had to stop reading, it was about 2:00 am, and go around making sure all my doors and windows were locked. Then I had to turn on the tv and watch a couple Andy Griffith episodes before I could get to sleep. I've often thought this story was an overlooked masterpiece.
And Gramma. I kept seeing my own Grandma when she was ill at the end and we were at her house taking care of her. She was a sweetheart but that's the image that kept rising to my mind. Very scary.

What about in Pet Sematary and the part where Jud is describing the Timmy Baterman stroy and theway he was just staring at the sn like that
Or when Louis goes to bury Gage and he sees the Wendigo that would have freaked me out too.

Rose Madder
"She heard thudding hooves approaching from behind her" when Rose was down in the Maze getting the baby "Caroline" I was so utterly scared on her behalf that I think I held my breath until I knew the bull wasn't going to catch her
!!
Lisey's Story
" The thing that used to be his brother lies sprawled with its back against the center post and its legs splayed" when ol Scoot decided to try and save his brother, and it's the moment before you know if he's going to be able to do it and live or die trying!

I must ask about your name? Lmao
But probably the scene from insomnia when he is starting to see the little doctors. I was at senior week at the time and I had split off from my group like midway through the week. One day it had to sleep beneath the pier and I spent the afternoon listening to waves and reading this book. Surprisingly scary mixture.
Gerald's Game. The part where she couldn't be sure if someone was standing in the corner due to the dark shadows.
If you are asking me, it's because
I've had a lifelong fear of waking up and seeing someone staring at me or looking in the window.
Carrie is my favorite SK book. I was bullied pretty much every day of all 4 years of high school, so I have an affinity with Carrie White. I also suffered an embarrasing incident in the shower after gym class, though I am male and it obviously was not the same thing that happened to Carrie.
