WANTED: Horror movie lover to watch 13 horror movies for $1,300
The assignment is simple: Help them discover whether or not a movie’s budget impacts how dread-inducing it can be by wearing a Fitbit to monitor your heart rate (which the company will provide) while you work your way through the list of 13 movies.
FinanceBuzz is looking to hire someone brave enough to watch 13 scary movies while wearing a heart rate recorder in October. In return, the company will pay that person $1,300.
“Of all the different types of movies to hit the silver screen, movies of the horror genre are the most profitable, regardless of the budget set to film them,” the company announced. “For a movie to make your hair stand on end and send shivers crawling up your spine, it’s not all about high-end special effects and CGI scares. 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.”
FB said the assignment is simple: Help them discover whether or not a movie’s budget impacts how dread-inducing it can be by wearing a Fitbit to monitor your heart rate (which the company will provide) while you work your way through the list of 13 movies. The lucky person chosen will also be asked to rank the movies based on their prediction of the size of the production budgets.
