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 (in particular the Lewton Bus) became increasingly common in the early 1980s as the slasher subgenre increased in popularity. During editing of Cat People (1942), Mark Robson developed a jump scare technique later called The Lewton Bus, which Lewton used in his subsequent films.
