study methods

I have a new theory for studying for finals. I took intro to psychology last semester, and there was this thing about how people remember information better when they experience an emotion with the intake of info.. I could be getting that entirely wrong I only got an 86 in the class :p However, my experiment for finals is this: I am going to watch scary movies, pause after the scariest parts and study... I'll let you know how effective this method is after my tests next week..
