can't remember which one really freaked me out
haunted I think

*shivers*

that's why I like stephen king. it's more weird than scary, and I can deal with that quite comfortably

James Herbert is genius!
I've read 11 of his books, all are brilliant.

When a work colleague heard that I like him, she recommended Stephen King. I've never actually read any of his books, is that a bad thing?

not reading stephen king isn't a bad thing
it's worth a try though. I'd start with Nightmares and Dreamscapes, or the Bachman Books. collections of short stories. then decide which ones you like best, and ask someone who knows which books to read based on that.

Yeah, King is rarely terrifying.
Except for Misery. I love/hate that book. Far better than the film.

Have you seen the film adaption of The Mist? Best ending of any film, ever.

I haven't seen it
and I can't remember if I've read it. I think I have, and if I have it inspired one of my weirdest ever dreams.

there was a mist around where I live, full of carnivorous monkeys and to subdue said monkeys you had to speak french to them. and for some reason there was a tree made of pork.

Hahaha
I like.

You should definitely read it, its very good. But I pissed myself laughing at the end of the film.

Oh god
How I loved the ending of that film, far better than how the book ends. Then again the film on the whole was not that good.

Oh my fucking god.
I can't believe someone else agrees!
The ending to The Mist was THE BEST FILM ENDING EVER.
The film is shit. The story is shit. The acting is shit.
But I don't think I've ever laughed anywhere near as hard as I did at the ending.
PURE. COMEDY. GENIUS.

It amused me for a week.
I'd just randomly start giggling at odd moments.
Shit film, perfect ending.
