A FINANCE company will pay an individual US$1,300 to watch 13 scary movies in October, in an effort to find out whether the size of a movie’s budget impacts its effectiveness. FinanceBuzz is looking to hire someone to be a horror movie heart rate analyst. The person will watch 13 of the scariest movies ever made while monitoring their heart rate using Fitbit, the company said in a news release. “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,” the release said. “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.” The chosen participant is required to watch the following films between Oct. 9 until Oct. 18: “Saw,” “Amityville Horror,” “A Quiet Place,” “A Quiet Place Part 2,” “Candyman,” “Insidious,” “The Blair Witch Project,” “Sinister,” “Get Out,” “The Purge,” “Halloween (2018),” “Paranormal Activity” and “Annabelle.” FinanceBuzz will provide the new analyst with a Fitbit tracker along with US$1,300 and a US$50 gift card to cover the rental costs of the fright fest.
