View Full Version : Most Frightening Published Work--Nominations Closed
This thread is for members to nominate titles (i.e. books, stories, etc.) for the Award for Most Frightening Published Work. In order for a title to be eligible for nomination it must simply be one of Stephen King's published works, including any of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Titles published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible.
To nominate a title for this category, simply post your choice in this thread. In order for a title to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated title must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each title listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.
While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

Pet Semetary is a great choice!! Another one that I've always thought of as one of King's darker and more horrific (not to mention underrated)would be Gerald's Game, so...
...Gerald's Game.

Pet Sematary, no doubt. It won this award the last time. Since it was already nominated and thirded, I want to nominate Survivor Type.

It and Pet Sematary both creeped me out also. I was much younger when I first read them though so I figured it may have been age that played a factor in that.
Duma Key creeped me out as a adult.

I've seen WAY too many zombie movies o try that shit. And while I'd LOVE to be battling zombies it is not a goal to have to kill zombie friends and family. I mean I guess it's good practice though. :evil:

The Boogeyman
nearly every story in Night Shift scares me, but that's maybe the one that gets me the most
Woofer

Damn. I totally missed the Gerald's Game nomination. Heartily thirded. That's a for-freaking-real horror story there - especially for anyone who does like to get jiggitywhoop.
TIP: Always have a second key within reach of the sub (on a bracelet or rubber band around the dominant wrist) for emergencies. You can just pretend it isn't accessible.

I would like to withdraw "The Monkey" and nominate Black House.

I would like to withdraw "The Monkey" and nominate Black House.
If this is allowed, I'll second Black House. If not, I'll nominate it.
Also, I'd like to (I guess) seventh Pet Sematary. I read that when I was 8 and it's been one of my very favorites even to this day.
I'll also fourth Gerald's Game. I love that book.
Monkey hasn't been seconded, so it's ok to withdraw it! Thank you for nominating Black House, bears third it. Little Princess, it looks like you still can nominate something.

You're not. Bag of Bones was scary. Ultimately, tho, I wonder who we think we're kidding here: Pet Sematary wins in a walk.

Is a travesty, tho; "The Boogeyman" s far scarier than Duma Key.
Also, I can't believe how badly Black House is trailing. C'mon, guys, more votes for Black House! :scared:

These three advance:

Desperation
Black House
