Company to pay people N534k to watch 13 scariest movies
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported about a company that is willing to pay R19.9k to anyone who is willing to watch 13 scariest movies.
According to CNN, FinanceBuzz is researching to determine whether the size of a movie's budget impacts how effective it is to the audience.
The company is hiring someone to be a horror movie heart rate analyst, and as the person watches the movies, his heart rate will be monitored using Fitbit.
This is just in time for October, majorly known as the spooky season with Halloween and such, hence the perfect timing for their research.
FinanceBuzz wants to know if high budget movies scare people more than lower budget ones or it is a matter of good writing.
