I usually avoid scary books and movies
since I get scared easily and usually keep on scaring myself frequenty since I was
very small. I use to imagine aliens poping out of every corner to capture me or
just to scare me to death. I think the main thing that a ghost story have to
focus on is is a sudden unexpected appearance, that works very well in visual
movies, but I cannot not prove that it does in a book. The ghostory might want
to focus ont eh scary part where the plot is scary, and not sudden unexpected
events for example” suddenlya zombie,
with skins decaying and hollow eyes, jawbones haning losly beneath the skull,
with some meat still stuck to it, jump in front of jimmy’s face and yelled “CHEWBACCA”
it will eb very scary when visualized, but a very pathetic attempt if used used
on books because readers simply will not get the sudden shock since they ahev
to imagine it first, and by the time they are done, it’s not shocking anymore. With
movies, trying to scare a viewer using storyline is not as efficient, because
it is not like scaring suddenly that make people jump off their seat kind of
scary, but gives people goosebumps fot eh whole nigh kind of scary. The readers
can better imagine the storyine and hwo the characters look like using a book,
and it does not require sudden random scary stuff kind of scary, so it is more
efficient in expressing this kind of story.
