Scariest scenes in a Stephen King book?

[Craig Zadow]

There are so many to name but if you had to narrow it down to a few what would you say freak you out the most.

I'll do five(in no order)

1. The Lawn Jockey- "Duma Key"
2. The Leper- "IT"
3. The Death of Patrick Hockstetter- "IT"
4. The Man in the Bear Suit- "The Shining"
5. The Lincoln Tunnel- "The Stand"

Don't know about the "scariest", but the hardest to watch is definitely when Kathy Bates performs her little "procedure" on James Caan's ankles in "Misery"!

[adrianmarley]

1. Room 217 in The Shining
2. The final line of Pet Semetary
3. The Lincoln Tunnel in The Stand
4. The hobbling scene in Misery
5. When Ben goes into the Masten House as a child in 'Salem's Lot

[sam peebles]

1. The wendigo scene in Pet Sematary when Louis is walking through the woods.
2. Pennywise killing Georgie (although pretty much any scene in It involving Pennywise in some form)
3. The ending of the Mangler when the two hear the laundry press coming down the street for them
4. The end of the Jaunt. "It's longer than you think, dad!"

The first of many deaths in The Long Walk

One of the scariest scenes for me was in reading Misery. I was ill, lying on my bed, and having seen the movie hundreds of times, decided to pull this one from the stack and begin reading. Page after page I turned, and could not put it down. Expecting it to end the same way as the movie, when Paul Sheldon asked if she was out inthe barn and the cops telling him, she isn't there. . . . . . . . . . . that freaked me out!!
