Want to burn calories and indulge in Halloween festivities at the same time?! Watch scary movies!
A new study found that horror movies can help you lose weight, and the scarier the better! Study participants were attached to heart rate, oxygen, and carbon dioxide monitors and then asked to watch six different scary movies.
One participant got so terrified while watching The Shining, she burned 184 calories. Researchers also determined that the majority of participants experienced a decrease in anxiety and frustration after a good scare (via TIME).
Time to go on a Halloween movie binge!
