Books can be disturbing but I've never really been scared by a book.
Movies are scary, because they happen to you. You have to watch a movie, sure, but you don't control the passing of moments as a movie plays. It plays regardless. So you're sorta trapped in the movie when you watch it. Thus a movie can be really scary because it's happening to you.
Whereas you control the pace of reading. You have to read a sentence and you can control everything about how you read it. You can stop at anytime and, unless you're in a reading trance, probably will when you feel like it.
The only thing you can control with a movie is your attention span. Usually a good movie, especially a good horror movie, will have you stuck to the screen. Makes sense?

I've been disturbed by a few books. Particularly a passage in No Country for Old Men was pretty bleak. To sum it up a character was shot in the head, and it went through his last moments being alive.
