With Halloween season upon us, the Science of Scare Project came out with a list of the Scariest Movies, according to Science!
To get the results, viewers had to wear heart monitors to track their heartbeat throughout each movie screening, seeing which one was the scariest and got that heart pumping the most.
Here’s the Top 10:
1. “Sinister” (2012)
2. “Host” (2020)
3. “Skinamirink” (2022)
4. “Insidious” (2010)
5. “The Conjuring” (2013)
