3) Cujo

This one scares me as I have watched the film when I was very, very young. The horrifying rabid canine from King’s novel going around killing and biting everyone like a zombie-like beast has had me fear in facing big giant dogs till today. Stephen King has convinced me that not all dogs are our best friend.

7) IT

Pennywise, the demented clown that has been terrorizing not only the characters in the book, but to book and novel readers, movie maniacs and horror fanatics as well. With the remake of the phobic clown coming soon, best to relive the tale through reading the book before watching the movie though one might have doubts stepping into the cinemas watching him on the big screen yet again, seeing that the trailer is so eerily terrifying.
