“I don’t want to spoil it for people that haven’t seen it yet (as of writing this, it’s still in theaters), but the jump scare about 30 minutes into Barbarian was so terrifying, everyone in the theater screamed at the same time.” https://t.co/A7OTlt9us7

5 out of 27.
The Ring (2002)
“The girl in the closet. I have never forgotten that face, and it still haunts me to this day. It was the first film to get me into horror movies, and despite it absolutely terrifying me, I continue to look for that feeling of adrenaline.”
Insidious (2010)
“Pretty much all of Insidious scared me, but especially when they see the demon man behind the husband. Jump scares always get me, but I never really stay scared after watching horror movies. Insidious is the exception, and I found myself being creeped out for days after. I haven’t watched it in years, but laying alone in the dark and thinking about that movie now is giving me chills again.”
Hereditary (2018)
“Toward the end of the movie, when the mom runs out from a dark corner. I jumped up so high in the theater that my chair flipped up and I landed on the floor! It was terrifying!”
Jaws (1975)
“It was in high school, and I had just started dating someone new. My local movie theater occasionally re-screened classic films, so I suggested we watch this. I’m usually a wimp when it comes to scary movies, so I thought it would be a great excuse to snuggle with my date. The night was going great until the jump scare when Hooper dives to a sunken boat, shines his flashlight into the wreck, and illuminates a severed head. I jumped back so hard that I pulled a muscle in my neck and my head was stuck with my right ear basically touching my shoulder. At first, I tried to laugh it off, but eventually, I had to ask my date to switch seats with me just so that we could have a conversation. Luckily, my date was super sweet about it, but I still felt so embarrassed (especially when we left the dark theater and he could see just how stuck my neck really was). I had to heat and massage my neck for days after to get back to normal, and my family and friends found it hysterical.”
The Exorcist III (1990)
“The best and most underrated jump scare of all time is the hospital scene. Nothing will ever top the original Exorcist overall (it’s probably my favorite movie), but that scene in the third one with the nurse is arguably my favorite jump scare in any film!”
what jump scare got you??
