10.0 out of 10,Extreme
Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).
Jumpscares 10.0 is extreme (9-10 on the scale):
10.0 out of 10,Extreme
Tension and dread while you wait for something to happen. Not the scare itself when it arrives (Jumpscares or Gore).
Suspense 10.0 is extreme (9-10 on the scale):
0.0 out of 10,None
Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
Psychological 0.0 means there's essentially none:
