If you are in the process of looking for a job, surely this interests you. An American company is looking for someone to watch 13 horror movies in 10 days and give their opinion on them. In return, the lucky person will receive 1,300 dollars, 1,100 euros in exchange .
Undoubtedly, a curious job offer that has been published by the magazine ‘Financebuzz’. The goal is to find out if horror movies with a bigger budget are more scary than those that are produced with less money . To verify this, the candidate will have to wear a bracelet that will monitor their heartbeat while watching the tapes.
From the company they explain that in many cases horror films are scary because of the story , not because of the budget that the production studio has. Many of the best films were made with small changes and a very small portfolio, compared to the large productions of well-known franchises.
One of the best is Paranormal Activity , which was produced for just $ 15,000 and grossed $ 193 million at the box office .
“In homage to the arrival of the quintessential horror season, we at FinanceBuzz are dying to know whether high-budget scary movies give better scares than low-budget ones.”
Well @FinanceBuzz is my new favorite company. They want to pay someone $1,300 to watch 13 horror movies in October.
How spooky-cool is that? 💀🪓https://t.co/KxAQYLFmS5 #Horror #HorrorCommunity #HorrorFans pic.twitter.com/GBEhJ4zCQy
