I used to read some horror when I was younger and especially liked to read the books that movies were based on. I haven't read horror in a number of years but am thinking of picking up the genre again. What I'm hoping to accomplish with this thread is a general discussion about which books you believed were better than the movie, worse than the movie, or just as good as the movie.

From what I remember, I really thought that The Exorcist was both a great book and a great movie. I haven't read it in a number of years but I remember the movie staying pretty true to the book, for the most part.
