Horror movies often get a bad rap for being too violent or scary, but they can actually be good for your health. Studies have shown that watching horror movies can help people lose weight. That’s because the adrenaline rush you get from being scared can help burn calories. So if you’re looking to lose a few pounds, consider renting a horror flick the next time you’re at the video store.<\/p>\n

How many calories do you burn watching scary movies? <\/h2>\n

A new study has found that watching a 90-minute movie can burn up to 113 calories, which is the same as a 30-minute walk. The study observed the top 5 movies that burn the most calories, which are “The Shining” (184 calories), “Jaws” (161 calories), “The Exorcist” (158 calories), “Alien” (152 calories), and “Saw” (133 calories).<\/p>\n
