Scary basements are a staple of horror movies, but which horror movie basements are the scariest?
A company called the Ohio Basement Authority came up with a formula to rate the “Basement Evil Score” of various movies. Wanna know the science? Well, there really isn’t much.
It’s just a factor of the movies’ IMDB ratings, plus just how much mayhem goes on in each basement, from “a little torture” to “a lot of death.”
Here are the horror movies with the most evil basements . . .
1. “Silence of the Lambs”
2. “Get Out”
3. “The Evil” (A 1978 movie you’ve probably never heard of.)
4. “Psycho”
5. “A Nightmare on Elm Street”
6. “The Amityville Horror”
7. “Stranger Things”
8. “The Evil Dead”
9. “The Rock Horror Picture Show”
