Neither. Possibly "provoking", but that would not be natural.

What about:
There's nothing like a good horror film to get the adrenaline going.

 

[Rover_KE]

That works, but the following are more common:

'There's nothing like a good horror film to get the adrenaline flowing.'

'There's nothing like a good horror film to give you an adrenaline rush.'

 

[SoothingDave]

Or "pumping."
