Film writer William Cheng describes this as causing a "sudden vanishing of the protective walls surrounding the film's protagonist", in turn giving the viewer at home a sense that the intruder is also somehow closer to them. The 1979 film When a Stranger Calls uses a form of jump scare to suddenly reveal the location of the antagonist to both the protagonist and the audience. The scene, which occurs at the end of the film, is credited as the inspiration for the use of a final jump scare in the 1980 movie Friday the 13th, to show that an apparently dead villain had survived. Ĭarrie, released in 1976, has one of the first modern jump scares. Prior to the 1980s, jump scares were a relatively rare occurrence in horror movies however, they became increasingly common in the early 1980s as the slasher subgenre increased in popularity.
