The Shining really is the scariest horror film ever: Heart rate monitors reveal the most terrifying movie moments of all time | Mail Online: "What makes a film scary divides opinion - some people prefer tense psychological thrillers, while others want jumpy, edge-of-their seat emotional rollercoasters. In an attempt to put an end to this debate, Japanese-owned website Rakuten's Play.com asked people to vote on which horror films they considered to be the most terrifying. They then wired a selection of viewers up to heart monitors and tracked changes in their pulse to determine exactly which of the top movie moments got their hearts racing the most. The winner was the iconic 'Here's Johnny' scene from 1980 film The Shining, which made pulses race and jump by 28.21 per cent."
