Conjuring </em>movie offer from your friends this Halloween. Why? Because along with fear, the thrill of watching horror movies brings with itself an array of health benefits. Science backs it too! Evidence exists that horror flicks affect your physical and mental health in positive ways.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">So, stop being a scaredy-cat, pop up some popcorn and tune into <em>Ju-on: The Grudge</em>! But before doing that, read on to know why horror movies are good for your health.</span></p> <h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Here’s Johnny to burn your calories</span></strong></h4> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">A University of Westminster study revealed that watching 90-minutes of hair-raising terror can burn as much as 113 calories which is equivalent to calories burned during a half an hour walk. It also suggested that movie moments that include jump scares are the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9638876/Watching-horror-films-burns-nearly-200-calories-a-time.html">best calorie burners</a> as they increase the heart rate.

This may sound opposing to the fact that watching this movie genre causes stress to our body. But it has been found that they can help <a href="https://castlecraig.co.uk/blog/2018/02/22/horror-films-help-anxiety/">reduce stress</a> and <a href="https://www.mfine.co/article/stressed-out-7-ways-managers-can-ease-stress-at-work/">manage them better</a> in reality. Your whole body gets tensed and the adrenaline (it combats anxiety too) starts to pump when you watch a horror movie. This creates a perfect diversion for forgetting the stressful events in your life.
