While some horror fans like guts and gore, others like to be scared out of their seat with a jumpscare shock. We like horror films for the rush they incite.

A flood of fear, quickly followed by the realisation of safety, results in the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain – endorphins and dopamine – rewarding you with a rush of euphoria. A study on horror fans also found that individuals who enjoyed watching scary films were more psychologically resilient than those who did not. Malmdorf-Andersen, an associate professor at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said that recreational forms of fear in general can help improve emotion regulation and coping skills. These are the top 10 scare-out-of-your-skin picks compiled by Entertainment experts at Playcasino.com, with lots of jump scares to crank up the adrenaline this Halloween season.
