I know that maybe the title of this article caught your attention, or maybe you are fond of watching horror movies which made you read about these movies that are considered scariest. In this article, it will obviously discuss the movies that are said to be scariest like what I have just said a little while.

We all know that the most common scenes in horror movies or the most common sound effects are full moon, howling of the wind blowing, groans from old rooms, and even heavy footsteps you may heard on hallways. These are too common scenes that will determine you are watching a scary movie. And some people just loved it. Believe it or not, there are people who enjoys being scared. They like watching scary movies because they want to feel that fear and scare everyone might feel while watching. There is no limit in the age od audiences of scary movies but most of the time, kids do not want it. Old or young, you can still watch this kind of movies.

There are different kind of plots or stories in different horror movies. And we, the audiences, have also different level of scariness. We are different from how we perceive these scenarios. But, this article will tackle exactly about the scariest movies. Are you curious of what it could be? Eventually, everyone may be curious about it. Since people became curious of what are the scariest movies, most of them searched it online and there are actually numbers of titles that the internet will give you. You will ask yourself, where in these titles are the scariest of them all?

A study was created by Daniel Clifford, which is to find out the scariest movies of them all through heart rate monitoring. They have gathered 50 participants with different age levels and let them watch over 100 hours of scary movies. They chose 50 highest-rated movies and get the study done. In this study, the faster the heartbeat, the scarier the movie. That is how they concluded the data they have gathered. After the screening, the 50 movies were narrowed down to 35. The study was then being successfully done and it really came up with the answer of what is the scariest of them all.

And the Scariest Movie Award goes to Sinister. This is a horror-thriller movie in the year 2012 that portrayed a life of a crime writer who became curious to a movie that is about the mysterious death of a family. In order to understand more about the said incident, he then moved to the victim’s house with his family and little by little, the story and the involvement of a supernatural being was discovered. It was awarded the scariest movie because by watching the movie, the participants’ heart rate jumped to 86 beats per minute while their average heart rate should be 65 beats per minute. The second place goes to Insidious which was from year 2010. It is about a couple with a son that went to a coma and this made the child become the medium of an entity which started the disturbing changes and incidents in their lives. These movies are the top 2 scariest movies according to this said study.

I do not know if you have watched any of this but I think, just by the title, they really are scary. The study may not be generalizable since they only have 50 participants which is eventually not as many as the population in the world. But, I know that it helped a lot. People would not have to search online and see by themselves which horror movie is the scariest. The study really gave an idea about the best horror films to those who wants to experience fear by watching horror or thriller movies.
