works to categorically find the scariest movies in existence based on what gets viewers' hearts pumping.
Dan Clifford, who funded the study, measured the viewers' average resting heart rate of 64 beats per minute against their average increased heart rate during different films and calculated the difference to come up with the winner. The study noted that audiences overall experienced a 37 per cent increase in heart rate of 88 BPM when watching the movie.
