Yesterday I mentioned that I thought The Exorcist III had one of the most effective jump scares. It turns out that other people think so, too.
Here are some other films that have been scientifically proven to cause the same type of fright.
According to the Science of Scare Project for 2026, these are in the top ten list of movies with the biggest jump scares of all time. The Science of Scare Project tracked the heart rates/ peak heart rates (BPM) and heart rate variabilities (HRV) of 250 test subjects who volunteered to watch scary movies over a period of several weeks.
Here’s a screen shot of this year’s results:
Yay! The Exorcist III is tied at number 10!
