The BOOK or the MOVIE?

I say the BOOK is always INFINITELY better than the movie...For some reason, I have been disagreed with...Is this because people don't READ THE BOOKS? What is YOUR preference?

I have to say both too. I usually like to read the book first though so I can spot everything that's been changed.

The books are always better, at least for horror. They are usually scarier and much more discriptive.

Any Horror book is in my opinion better then any horror movie.

Books are my favorite form of entertainment.

Are we talking about "based on the book" movies or movie novelizations? 2 very different things.
