As you watch, the company said in its announcement that it will ask you to note how everything’s going with questions like these: How’s your heart rate during the scary scenes? Which movies are your favorite or least favorite? Are you watching these flicks alone or bringing a friend along so you can have night terrors together?

No degree is necessary, nor will a drug test or background check be performed; however, applicants must be 18 years or older and a US citizen or permanent resident to apply.
The applicant page reads, “Tell us why you’re the perfect victim and what you hope to gain from this experience (aside from the $1,300, of course), and this dream—or nightmare job—could be yours!”
These are the films the selected fright film fan will watch:
• “Carrie” (original or 2013 remake)
• “Christine”
• “Creepshow”
• “Cujo”
• “Doctor Sleep”

The company said the viewer will receive a “survival kit” with a blanket, popcorn, candy, and some Stephen King paraphernalia to set the stage for what is sure to be a terrifying experience. The network will alsp provide a Fitbit to help you track your heart rate during some of the more intense scenes.
Once you watch all 13 movies and log your report, the network said it will pay you $1,300.
