Psychological Study Reveals Scariest Movies

As Halloween approaches, various horror films are highlighted for their terrifying narratives and exceptional acclaim. A recent study identifies Scott Derrickson's 2012 film 'Sinister' as the scariest movie according to scientific metrics, with other notable titles including 'The Conjuring' and 'Hereditary' also making the list. Additionally, the 1985 film 'Return to Oz' is discussed for its unexpectedly dark themes and imagery, which many argue are too frightening for children despite its PG rating. Fans can also look forward to classic horror films like 'The Omen' and 'The Mummy', which are set to air on UK television, although the latter received poor critical reviews despite financial success. 'The Exorcist', another timeless horror classic, continues to be recognized as one of the most terrifying films ever made, celebrated for its groundbreaking impact on the genre. Collectively, these films illustrate the diverse ways in which horror captivates and terrifies audiences.
