The Thing

How scary is The Thing?

Nobody has rated it yet. Ratings on Scare Scale come from people who've watched the film, and score five kinds of scare out of 10:

Gore

Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.

Creepy

Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).

Jumpscares

Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).

Suspense

Tension and dread while you wait for something to happen. Not the scare itself when it arrives (Jumpscares or Gore).

Psychological

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).
