Struggling to burn your daily calories? Horror movies might help you hit your fitness goals, study reveals a surprising link

A 2012 University of Westminster study found that watching horror movies can help burn up to 113 calories in 90 minutes about the same as a 30-minute walk. The adrenaline surge from jump scares raises heart rate, boosts metabolism, and suppresses appetite. *The Shining* topped the list with 184 calories burned per viewing. However, frequent horror watchers may see reduced effects as their bodies adapt to predictable scares.
