"The Number One Scariest Movie"

[left-of-center2012]

“I googled what is rated the number one scariest movie ever made. So actually I found a scientific study that also answers this question where subjects were strapped to a heart rate monitor, and these are the top five that got their heart beating the fastest.

Number five is "Paranormal activity" with the average heart rate of 82 beats per minute.

Number four is "Hereditary" with 83 beats per minute.

The number three is "the Conjuring" with 84.

The runner up the scariest movie is "Insidious" with the average of 85 beats per minute.

And the number one scariest movie according to science is "Sinister" with an average of 86 beats per minute.

And as a bonus, the winner of the biggest jumpscare was "Insidious" and it got people's heart rate up to 133 beats per minute."

1. I'm surprised that The Exorcist and The Shining aren't on that list

I regretted seeing the Exorcist in college. For months and months I regretted it.

My kind sister in law told me NOT to see The Shining and she was so right.

What this tells me is that I will not see any of those five!

Let's go pop another Shirley Temple movie in the old VCR, shall we?

2. I've never understood the admiration for The Shining

Kubrick yes but it’s a Stephen King book so almost nothing happens until suddenly does and the bad guy makes one last surprising effort after that.

I’ve never gotten how the Shining is scary because I’ve almost been asleep half way through.

5. I went with four friends to see 'The Shining'.

None of us liked it.

"Here's Johnny"

[Zorro]

3. Guess they've never seen the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Just the thought of it still creeps me out.

4. Never did see the movie, but I read "Rosemary's Baby" while...

my wife was pregnant with our first child.

NEVER read another horror story after that, never will.

Scared the living $hit out of me.

6. I've only seen the Conjuring and Hereditary from that list. The Conjuring was just

weirdly silly and Hereditary was totally forgettable.

[Ocelot II]

7. "Prince of Darkness" scared the bejeebers out of me.

Also a few oldies: Wait Until Dark, The Night of the Hunter and The Innocents.

8. Given current events, I think I would vote for Idiocracy...

[Skittles]

9. I'll always pick the orginal The Haunting
