Can you endure watching Stephen King movies if it means getting paid $1,300? Well, USDish thinks you can and they are offering you that proposition in time for Halloween. The marathon will net you about $100 a movie with titles including The Shining, It, and Pet Semetary.

According to Newsweek, the viewer they pick should have great attention to detail and not be faint of heart.

Dish lays out the details in their job description: “As you watch, we’ll ask you to note how everything’s going—how’s your heart rate during the scary scenes? Which movie’s your favorite or least favorite?”

“It” Warner Bros.

They add: “Are you watching these flicks alone or bringing a friend along so you can have night terrors together?”

A $150 FitBit will be included for the job. It will track heart rate and stress levels: “You’ll let us know what you thought before watching certain movies, and if your feelings changed after you completed them. You’ll even log your sleep—if you can sleep.”

The Shining

The 13 movies in the package are as follows:

  • Carrie (original or 2013 remake)
  • Christine
  • Creepshow
  • Cujo
  • Doctor Sleep
  • Firestarter (original or 2022 remake)
  • It (original or 2017 remake)
  • It Chapter Two
  • Misery
  • The Mist
  • Pet Sematary (original or 2019 remake)
  • Salem’s Lot
  • The Shining

There will be a worksheet to fill out, and encourage you to track your thoughts on social media, “[The watcher] could even share their scares on social media and vlog every time they jump out of their seats,” they write.

Salem’s Lot

The company will provide you with a $60 Amazon card to rent the movies if you don’t own them and a $350 swag bag!

You have to be over 18 to enter. You also must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. The application stipulates that you must write in 200 words or less why you are perfect for the job.

You have until September 16 to enter, and must watch all the Stephen King films by Halloween 2022. To apply, click here.
