Deadliest horror movie furniture revealed
If there’s a Freddy or Jason chasing you around your house or a nearby woodland shack, the natural reaction is to try to hide behind or in a piece of furniture.
This doesn’t always end well, so a new (very scientific, we assure you) study has worked out which household features are the safest and which are the deadliest.

- Moff Tarkin confirmed for Star Wars: Rogue One return?
The Furniture Market has watched 50 of the most popular horror movies of all time to determine whether it’s safer to hide in a cupboard, under a bed or behind a fridge.
They’ve done this by taking the number of times a piece of furniture helped someone escape a crazed killer and subtracting the number of times that item led to, or was involved in a character’s death.
The takeaway from their research is simple: stay well clear of beds. They have a “Chance-of-death ranking” of +7, topping the list.
If you wanted to evade a mass murderer though, and we assume you would do, the best bet is a simple locked door, which has a rating of -22.
‘Alien’, 'Psycho’, 'Halloween’ and 'Final Destination’ are among the 50 films the study was based on.
For a classic example of bed-based murder, here’s a particularly painful one from ‘Freddy vs Jason’.
