It’s already mid-September, which means spooky season is fast approaching. If you are big fans of all things that will make your heart race a little faster, then we may have found the side gig for you. This company is reportedly looking to pay someone $1,300 to watch 13 horror movies in October. (1)
Company Wants To Pay Someone $1300 To Watch Horror Movies
A finance company is looking to pay someone $1300 to watch 13 scary movies throughout the month of October 2021. Why? They want to know whether or not the size of horror movies’ budgets has an impact on their effectiveness.
The company is FinanceBuzz and the title of the temporary position they are looking to fill is called a Horror Movie Heart Rate Analyst. The job details? You have to watch 13 of the scariest and creepiest films ever made, the whole time monitoring your heart rate using a FitBit.
“In honor of the upcoming spooky season, we at FinanceBuzz are dying to know whether or not high-budget horror movies deliver stronger scares than low-budget ones,” they explained. “You’ll help us discover whether or not a movie’s budget impacts just how dread-inducing it can be by wearing a Fitbit to monitor your heart rate while you work your way through the list of 13 movies.”
You will also rate each one based on your predictions of the size of their production budgets.
Why Horror Movies, Specifically?
FinanceBuzz says that of all the film genres to hit theatres, horror is consistently one of the most profitable. In their opinion, this has nothing to do with special effects or how much money a film has. They say it’s much more in the writing of the movie.
“More often than not, horror movies are scary because of their story… not the budget of the production studio. Some of the most spectacular slasher films and terrifying thrillers were made with chump change compared to superhero sequels and well known franchises,” they explain. “In 2007 Paranormal Activity was produced with just $15,000 and racked in over $193 million dollars from the box office.”
