The only trouble with reading the books first, is the movies always pale in comparison, I think one of the best book to horror I can remember would have to be The Shining, they did a really good job with that movie.
Yeah The Shining was so great it's not even funny how great it was
The worst adaptation I have seen was a great book Phantoms by Dean Koontz, loved that book but the movie was fucking horrible, early Affleck & McGowan, & Liev Shriber

The first that comes to my mind is The Da vinci Code. Great book, horrible movie. Tom Hanks doesn't fit Robert Langdons Character at all.

Yeah I did not bother with the moive, have to say though I liked Angels & Demons better, but the whole Jesus had a family and descendants was very cool
Only film to fuck me up a bit as an adult was Ring (Jap version, fuck that US remade bollocks). The death faces and the moment she climbs out of the TV...
I lived on my own when I saw it and I swear for a week afterwards every time I turned off the TV I kept eyeing it nervously, just in case it suddenly turned back on.
It loses its shock value if you know what's coming but when I saw it I had no idea what the film was about. Since then Jap horrow has lost it shock completely for me as it's all about creepy little girls.
I wonder if there's a fear in Japanese men for the way they have treated their women over the centuries, resulting in modern day horror films all about vengeful women.
Funnily enough, I only saw it two days ago. I was creeped out most by the little boy that danced to Tiptoe Through the Tulips. But the Darth Maul demon was laughable.
As far as Japanese horror goes, Ju-on (The Grudge) was my favourite.
Now that The Ring's been mentioned - there's a movie almost totally divorced from the novel it's based on. Koji Suzuki's Ring trilogy (Ring-Spiral-Loop) are far superior to the films, IMO.
