“A new study into “the science of scare” suggests that the most frightening scene in horror history can be found in a James Wan movie.
…
According to ‘The Science of Scare‘ survey, horror’s most frightening scene occurs in the movie Insidious. This was discovered by fitting a 250-strong panel with heart monitors and tracking their heart rates throughout a collection of terrifying films.
A human’s resting heart rate is 64 beats per minute. While watching James Wan’s The Conjuring, audiences spiked with 132 BPM, putting it in second place. But Insidious was crowned champion, with spikes hitting 133 BPM.
The study doesn’t say which specific scene caused that terror high. But Insidious is famed for a sequence in which an evil spirit appears behind Patrick Wilson’s back. And anyone who has seen the 2010 movie knows that’s the moment.”
