I am currently reading (wading through) "IT" by Stephen King. This is one of his books that has been made into a movie. I notice in other threads that people talk about "scary" films presumably made from "scary" books.
I can relate to a "scary" movie but not to a "scary" book. I can find nothing in the book "IT" in the least bit scary. I have not seen the movie of the book but I have seen other movies that were supposed to be "scary" and not found them so.
Perhaps my upbringing has spoiled me from the "joy" of being scared. I was taught to quickly imagine the camera man shooting the so called "scary" scene. This resulted in my being totally un-freaked out by such scenes.
The question is, is this a good or a bad thing for a child to be taught?
