Does seeing a spider on the pillow scare you enough that you let out a little scream? You’re not alone, according to a new survey that reveals the most common things that make people shriek with fright. Topping the list? Having someone jump out to surprise you as a prank.
The spooky season poll of 2-thousand adults finds that despite sometimes gasping in fear, most people tend to embrace the fun side of it. For 84%, scary experiences are more likely to end in laughter than panic when they’re shared with others.
More than half (52%) admit spooky thrills are more enjoyable with company, while 39% agree they create memorable moments.
Another 29% think frights that leave you laughing with friends help bring people together.
Watching horror movies (20%), riding roller coasters (24%) and braving a haunted attraction (19%) are some of the most fun scary bonding moments.
Aside from the thrill, there are benefits to being scared when you know you’re actually safe, with a quarter saying it offers an escape from everyday life. Another 24% see it as a healthy emotional release, while 18% believe it’s an instant stress reliever.
