The scaryest horror film ever: Sinister back at the top!

The scaryest horror film ever: Sinister back at the top!

Halloween is approaching! The most scary time of the year is there and the questions overturned: Which horror film makes your hearts beat even faster? Scientists have the answer!

The "Science of Scare" project brings light into the dark of the horror-hinge films. Since 2020, a team has been investigating which films literally freeze the blood in your veins. And without a hocus -pocus - the heart frequencies of subjects are analyzed in special demonstrations. What does that mean specifically? While you are plunging into the world of terror, your heartbeat in blows per minute (BPM) and the heart rate variance (HRV) will be examined. The higher the BPM value, the more adrenaline pumps through the veins and the lower the HRV, the more stressed you are. This is how the "Scare Score" is created, which lists the creepiest films in the world.

The top 10 of the horror highlights

The latest results are there - and the list of the 50 most scary films ever is a must for every horror! This year the cult film "Sinister" has recaptured the crown with an impressive Score Score from 96. But not only that, also the renowned competition will be quite pale in this result!

  1. Sinister (2012): Scare Score 96
  2. Host (2020): Scare Score 95
  3. Skinamarink (2022): Scare Score 91
  4. Insidious (2010): Scare Score 90
  5. The Conjuring (2013): Scare Score 88
  6. Hereditary (2018): Scare Score 81
  7. Smile (2022): Scare Score 78
  8. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005): Scare Score 76
  9. talk to me (2022): Scare Score 75
  10. Hell House LLC (2015): Scare Score 75
  11. In "Sinister", the history of the writer Ellison is told, who moves into a house without knowing that there was a terrible family tragedy. Wirting film recordings and supernatural occurrences not only drive him, but also his children to the brink of madness. So creepy that even the strongest horror film fans have to fear for their sleep!

    not to be despised are also the placements of the classics that are lower in the ranking than many would expect: "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" is number 1 on the old films. And "A Nightmare on Elm Street" only scored 64 points. The horror that these classics once triggered has less terror potential in the modern world!

    While the latest horror films are still at the very beginning of their fearsome journey in 2024, they have already appeared in the rankings. "Oddity" with 69 points has established itself as the creepiest newcomer, followed by "Terriftier 3" and "Stopmotion". These films promise a real goosebumps for the audience!
