Time To Start Rewatching Your Favorite Movie Again And Again Because Science Says So
It's that time of the year again to rewatch your favorite Halloween classics, and soon after that, your favorite holiday films, and soon after that, well... the cycle starts all over again. Believe it or not, rewatching your favorite flicks for the 20th time is actually good for your well-being.

Hocus Pocus, Scream, and The Nightmare Before Christmas are always your go-to's.


The study was conducted by Cristel Antonia Russell and Sidney J. Levy to explore why people tend to rewatch their favorite movies and shows.




"Watching the same movie reaffirms that there is order in the world," Pamela Rutledge, a psychologist tells Men's Health. "Our primitive brains are hardwired to keep us safe, so the unknown future can cause anxiety. Knowing a film’s outcome creates a sense of safety and therefore comfort on a primal level."

"Children like repetition," Lisa Belkin wrote in the New York Times. It offers reassurance that the world is a predictable place, as well as the confidence of mastering one corner of that world."
