If Paranormal Activity 4 isn’t enough to give you a sleepless night, maybe we can help. Is your university on the top 10 list of scariest cities in the UK? Sweet dreams!
1. Derby. This midlands city is teeming with scary movie potential.

Ok, say you don't like all that r'n'b stuff and like to tune into something most likely involving a guitar at some point, well Exeter has something for you too. It may not be London, which features the Electric Ballroom and Slime, but neither is it a desert for those with an inner goth/indie kid.
