The next best SK novel for a good scare is 'Christine' - avoid the film.

KarenMac - yes, definitely has something nightmarish about it. Skins of the Fathers too, but nothing's ever gotten under my skin like In The Hills...

Ooh, I agree with ladyalex. The Woman In Black by Susan Hill is very scary! The film is pretty good too.

I can't actually remember any of the other stories, and I read them all. But that one really stuck with me, and I thought of it every time I saw this advert :)

Back in 1973, we were travelling round the States and I was reading In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote - scared the cr@p out of me!

Have to agree with "In Cold Blood", I went cold all over when I read the line - "I thought he was a very nice gentleman. Soft spoken. I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat." Pet Semetary also gave me bad dreams for a long time afterwards.
