Watching Horror Movies can help you burn more calories and lose more weight, according to a new study conducted by the University of Westminster. The average amount of calories that might be burned in a 90-minute horror film is 113, which is equivalent to the amount of calories burned during a 30-minute walking session. According to research, the scarier and more adrenaline-inducing the movie, the more calories it will burn for you.
