Scarechive

Scarechive is a horror movie database that records every jump scare in a film to the second, so viewers can brace for them, skip them, or choose a film without any.

Timestamps are verified against the films themselves rather than copied from crowd-sourced lists. When Scarechive checked thousands of crowd-sourced timestamps against the actual films, about a third were off by two seconds or more. We track movie cuts (Director's Cut, Unrated, Extended) and international releases that can affect the timestamps. Each scare is also measured from the film's audio, so every entry shows how loud a scare is as well as when it lands. Beyond sudden scares, Scarechive flags intense scenes: sustained stretches of high volume that can be hard on sensitive viewers.

The archive includes over 1,200 fully analyzed films and more than 11,000 logged scares, with a visual timeline for each film, streaming availability by country, and hand-curated guides.
