Score breakdown
How K-12 (2019) gets its overall score of4.0, and every answer behind it.
1. Each kind of scare
Each kind of scare starts from Scare Scale's own starting score, which counts as 2 people at first and less with each person who scores it, until 10 people have and it no longer counts.
| Kind of scare | Starting score | People | Their score | Working | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gore | 3 (counts as 2) | 0 | – | Starting score only: 3.0 | 3.0 |
| Creepy | 4 (counts as 2) | 0 | – | Starting score only: 4.0 | 4.0 |
| Jumpscares | 3 (counts as 2) | 0 | – | Starting score only: 3.0 | 3.0 |
| Suspense | 5 (counts as 2) | 0 | – | Starting score only: 5.0 | 5.0 |
| Psychological | 3 (counts as 2) | 0 | – | Starting score only: 3.0 | 3.0 |
3. The overall score
- Each kind of scare is weighted: gore loses a point, and creepy and jumpscares gain one.
- Gore 3.0 − 1 = 2.0
- Creepy 4.0 + 1 = 5.0
- Jumpscares 3.0 + 1 = 4.0
- Suspense 5.0, unchanged
- Psychological 3.0, unchanged
- The average of the 3 highest (creepy, jumpscares, suspense): (5.0 + 4.0 + 5.0) ÷ 3 = 4.7.
- The average film scores 5.4, and the gap from it counts 2 times, so scores use the whole scale: 5.4 + (4.7 − 5.4) × 2 = 4.0.
