The spooky season is just around the corner, and everyone is getting ready to celebrate Halloween in their own unique manner. One of the best ways people love to mark the occasion is by curling up with their family and friends to watch their favorite horror movies. This season would be no different, and people will either ask their friends or take the internet’s help to find horror flicks that promise chilling stories.

So, if you are still looking for some suggestions, there’s a project that would tell you which title would be perfect for you and your loved ones this Halloween season.

A recent project, titled Science of Scare, tracks viewers’ heart rate and how it changes while watching a horror flick. By doing so, the project measures which movies scare people the most. As per the project, Scott Derrickson’s 2012 movie Sinister tops the list with a scare score of 96 out of 100. Meanwhile, the British independent supernatural horror movie, Host, attained the second spot with a score of 95. The list also included titles such as Skinamarink (91), Insidious (90), and The Conjuring (88).

It is fascinating to see the list featuring movies that were mostly released after 2010. The only movie on the list that came before 2010 is The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), which continues to scare people and leave a lasting impact on them.

Here’s the list of the top 10 horror movies, according to the project:

1. Sinister – 96 (Scare Score)

9. The Exorcism of Emily Rose – 76

10. Talk to Me/Hell House LLC – 75

It is fascinating to see Sinister taking the first spot in a project that takes such a unique approach to measuring fear. Although a lot of people might not take this list too seriously, it still sparks fun debates among horror fans about which movies truly deliver the biggest scares.

This list might turn out to be very useful for people who want to see genuine horror flicks and might not have seen some of the titles featured on the list. So, if you are still looking for some recommendations, you can definitely check this list.
