Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

I love Sinister. I never really see it mentioned much, though. I think it has a very creepy intro, and maintains its creepiness throughout.

A research study well worth its funding (not being sarcastic lol)

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

This list is bullshit… Insidious and The Conjuring in the top 5 while The Shining isn't even there?? Yeah, right, "scientifically".

It does seem to be mostly modern stuff yes.

My heart bleeds for him, as a child. Someone took a kid and manufactured a monster. At the same time, as an adult, he's irredeemable.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

It depends on who they test, of course. I noticed it was predominantly newer horrors.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

The Shining isn't on the list because it isn't scary.

Sure, child. You did good today, now go and play with your Legos while adults talk here.

Aren't you a millennial? Were you even old enough to see The Shining when it was in theaters? Many, many people categorise it as being more of a psychological thriller. The book did it better.

Sinister and Hereditary didn't even scare me one bit.

The Exorcist would be #1 for me. And I will also add The Blob to the top of that list. Cannot even watch those movies anymore.

Insidious, Conjuring 1 and 2, Paranormal Activity, It Follows, The Grudge, The Thing, Alien, Annabelle 1 and 2, Poltergeist, The Shining were all pretty scary. Some alot more than others.

The Descent, The Ring, Nightmare on Elm Street, A Quiet Place, Hush were all good movies, but they didn't scare me that much.

Halloween (the original) is my favorite of all of them. It is eerie in some parts, but not scary enough to keep my light on at night.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

Hereditary is quite memorable for one particular scene.

I think The Descent is really scary, the claustrophobia of those caves and the crawlers ugh!

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

The Descent scared me in a "I wouldn't want to be in that situation" kind of way. And it was definitely creepy and got my heart rate up in some parts. I usually base how much a movie frightens me by how long the effect lasts after I watch it. Plus if it makes me want to sleep with the lights on lol.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

I have no idea why anyone would want to go potholing that's for sure!

I remember watching Alien and being too scared to sleep and as a child I saw The Curse of the Werewolf and was definitely disturbed by that a lot, simply the idea that a man could turn into a wolf was terrifying.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time…

There's NO SUCH THING as SCARY (or FRIGHTENING) MOVIES!! Disturbing (or creepy), . Scary or frightening, .

"THAT'S SOME BAD SHIT, HARRY!".

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

A loaf of bollocks. Not a single movie in that list is scary. Sinister is suspenseful at most.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

Sinister??! You've got to joking.

Re: Heart monitor study determines the 35 scariest movies of all time

The Omen. Original.
Nosferatu.
The Thing.
Alien.
The Grudge
The Ring.

These scare shit out of me.
