The terror that you feel from reading “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” is different than the terror being felt when watching a terrifying movie as reading a story requires you to use your imagination making it less scary, but watching a movie you can physically see what’s going on and the jump scares that are in the film makes the movie more terrifying than reading a scary book. Reading the book doesn’t give you the intensity that the movie gives. Both have their ways  into making it terrifying but I feel like the movies are more scarier than reading a book because you can hear and see everything that is actually is happening which is scarier than imagining it. You can imagine anything scary and compare that to physically watching it on a movie, it’s more scarier in the film because you see all the chaos and goriness that’s there.

The terror felt when reading “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” is very different from the terror of watching a terrifying movie in the sense that when you’re watching a movie you can physically see whats going on and in a way that is more terrifying than read the story. For the story you have to use your imagination in order to “see” whats actually going on. You rely heavily on the details given to you in the story and so that can limit some people due to them not having much of an imagination.
