A couple of the scariest stories that I have ever read are A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor (short story) and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Only realistic scenarios involving non-imaginary things and people scare me as an adult. Though the film that left me with nightmares for weeks after seeing it as a child was The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
We've reached a consensus that most people partaking in horror seem to be afraid of voting for books that may actually be scary.
