Cool

The Shining was a pretty twisted book.

There was no way they could have fit the entire story into a 90 minute movie.

I saw the made for tv movie of it a while back, it kinda added in a few more weird details, like the shrubbery coming to life as lions hunting danny down.

Pet Cemetary was pretty good, though I didn't like the movie very much.

I Am Legend could be construed as horror, although it's a vampire/sci fi hybrid too.

The book is quite frightening, both in prose and the concept. Better than the film too.

lol....Fred Gwynne made the movie epic for me...

Now when any old man tries to give me advice, i can just hear his voice echoeing in the background to "not to go up on that there mountain".

I would have to say Stephen King's IT is my favourite horror book of all time.

I'd say King for the novel, but definitely Poe for the short story. And as far as I'm concerned, a good horror story shouldn't have to be very long, so Poe would have to be my favorite. There should be a lot missing from a horror story; it leaves more to the imagination. Let's say people are disappearing in a story. For the story to be the scariest, the absolute worst thing imaginable would have to happen to those people. Your view of the worst thing imaginable is different from mine (most likely), so by NOT telling us what takes place, we can imagine it for ourselves. Then again, if they don't tell us something, the story feels incomplete.

I can't argue with Poe for short stories. Do you have a favorite? I've always had a hard time picking one. I'm partial to Masque of the Red Death, but more for the imagery than the actual horror component.
