Here are the top 10 scariest movies of all-time according to science. Do you agree with the science?
Each year, the Science of Scare Project curates a list of the most terrifying English language films and puts them to our 250 strong panel.
Our test subjects are invited to special screenings of our movies where they are fitted with heart rate monitors and their heart rate is tracked throughout each movie.
To prevent audience fatigue, screenings take place over the course of several weeks throughout the year, before we publish our results in October, just in time for Halloween.
Of note on this year’s list are a handful of new movies from 2024 like Oddity (20th), Terrifier 3 (23rd), Stopmotion (24th), Immaculate (40th) and Longlegs (42nd).
