Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to common questions.
What is WhenJumpScare?+-
WhenJumpScare is a dedicated horror movie guide with precise jumpscare timestamps so you can enjoy the genre your way, fully prepared or completely scare free.
What is an SRT file and how do I use it?+-
An SRT (SubRip Subtitle) is a simple text file with time codes. WhenJumpScare provides a warning SRT that shows a short heads up a few seconds before each jumpscare. Download it on a movie page and load it in your video player (e.g., VLC), or put it next to the video with the same filename to auto load. Some streaming players let you import external subtitles.
Just don’t watch horror if jumpscares bother you?+-
Warnings help people actually press play. Many fans love atmosphere, story, and dread but find sudden jump cuts distracting or anxiety inducing. WhenJumpScare lets you enjoy horror on your terms, removing an unpleasant and overused plot device for a lot of folks.
Why is there no jumpscare data for a movie?+-
If a title (often a new release) has no entries, it usually means no one has contributed timestamps yet or there simply aren’t any. WhenJumpScare relies on the community: open the movie and click "Suggest Timestamp" to help other viewers.
How do I contribute new timestamps?+-
Open a movie and click “Suggest Timestamp”. Your submission appears as pending and is approved by an admin. It helps the community, and the most active contributors are featured in Top Contributors.
What’s a “major” vs “minor” jumpscare?+-
Major = strong, sudden scare. Minor = milder shock or brief sting. Both are clearly labeled.
