I saw the movie, but I never read the book. I dunno, I just didn't think the movie was scary at all, and I could be wrong, but I think that was Stephen King's best selling book. Maybe the book is better than the movie?

I've read the book and loved it, but I've never seen the movie... but I also thought Stephen King's "It" was a better book than movie. It was really creepy!!

Yep, I saw IT, too. But, I've never read the book. I didn't like the movie as much as I thought I would, but I did have nightmares about the creepy clown, though.

I wish they would start making movies based on Dean Koontz books, if they haven't already.
