No seriously. This is a real thing. Listen up.
USDish.com is celebrating Halloween this year in a pretty interesting way, offering up an incredible opportunity to one lucky horror fan. Essentially, they want to pay a select horror lover $1,300 to binge watch 13 Stephen King adaptations before the Halloween season comes to an end, asked only to track your heart rate and report your progress as you binge.
Dish explains, “We want to know everything about your experience. You will track your heart rate and jump scares. You’ll let us know who joined in on the scares with you. 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. We’ll provide a worksheet to help guide you along the way, but you’re not limited to what we give you—feel free to share your thoughts, like a journal, and give us all the frightening deets!”
Here’s what the lucky horror fan will receive to help out with the binge session:
- Don’t worry about tracking down these horror flicks; watch all 13 movies on us!
- To help equip you for watching, we’ll give you a survival kit with a flashlight, blanket, popcorn, candy, and some Stephen King paraphernalia to set the stage for what is sure to be a terrifying experience.
- We’ll provide a Fitbit to help you track your heart rate during some of the more intense scenes. Think “you’ll float too” or the prom scene in Carrie.
- We’ll also give you a movie theater gift card to add a 14th movie to your list, either It: Chapter 2 or Doctor Sleep, whichever nightmare you prefer (you won’t be required to report on this specific movie experience—just try to enjoy the show).
Oh and the 13 movies, in case you’re wondering, include:
- Carrie (original or 2013 remake)
- Children of the Corn
- Christine
- Creepshow
- Cujo
- Dreamcatcher
- It (original or 2017 remake)
- The Mist
- Pet Sematary (original or 2019 remake)
- Salem’s Lot
- The Shining
- Thinner
- Misery
Once all 13 movies have been watched and your report logged, they’ll pay you $1,300!
