Research by Scientists Proves Watching Horror Movies Helps Burn Calories

According to research, watching horror movies speeds up metabolism and helps burn calories. But which movies are proven to aid weight loss according to this study? Let’s take a look at the list together.

The world of science constantly surprises us with extraordinary research. The latest study comes from Westminster University in London. A group of researchers discovered that watching horror movies can actually burn calories.

The research suggests that watching a 90-minute horror movie can burn approximately 113 calories. This is almost equivalent to the calories burned in a half-hour walk.

According to The Guardian, this noteworthy research revealed that horror films, filled with ‘jump-scare’ scenes, increase heart rate and contribute to burning calories.

Dr. Richard Mackenzie, a member of the research team, explains this phenomenon in the following words:

‘As the heart rate increases and blood is pumped faster through the body, adrenaline surges. The release of adrenaline reduces appetite, increases metabolism, and consequently burns calories. The same applies while watching horror movies.’

So, what are the top 10 films according to this study that help lose weight? Let’s take a look.

The Shining: 184 calories

Jaws: 161 calories

The Exorcist: 158 calories

Alien: 152 calories

Saw: 133 calories

A Nightmare on Elm Street: 118 calories

Paranormal Activity: 111 calories

The Blair Witch Project: 105 calories

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 107 calories

[Rec]: 101 calories

French prosecutors have asked the country's highest court to rule on the validity of an international arrest warrant issued against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for complicity in war crimes during the Syrian civil war; However, Syrian public opinion was not affected by the French judiciary's decision against Assad. France does not want to ensure the security of its own protectorate, on the contrary, it directs discord beyond its borders, and Macron is floundering, forgetting his duties. This situation brings with it harsh criticism against the West, Macron and the French judicial system. It is stated that the chemical attack that forms the indictment against Assad is actually suspicious and the facts show that it is fabricated. Impartial Syrian investigations have proven that the chemical attack did not come from areas where Syrian government forces are deployed. These findings seriously question the rel

  COP28: A Balancing Act of Climate Ambition and Lingering Concerns Is It Enough? The Push for Greater Ambition As the curtains draw on COP28, an evocative tale unfolds—a first-ever deal urging nations to transition from fossil fuels echoes triumph but leaves skeptics pondering its ambition. Sultan Al Jaber’s rallying call for unity was met with both applause and skepticism. Is this transition away from fossil fuels a giant leap or merely a step in the right direction? In a monumental shift, the deal steers focus from the routine to the urgent—acknowledging fossil fuels’ detrimental role. But are words enough? Manuel Pulgar-Vidal of WWF hails this redirection but underlines the absence of a complete phase-out commitment. The question lingers—will these verbal pledges translate into concrete actions that quell the climate crisis?
