This research is being conducted to determine whether the budget of horror movies impacts the viewing experience of the audience. For the same, the company will use a Fitbit to track and monitor the heartbeat of the person which will help in reaching a conclusion according to its readings.
“In honour of the upcoming spooky season, we at FinanceBuzz are dying to know whether or not high-budget horror movies deliver stronger scares than low-budget ones,” the release announcing the offer said.
“You’ll help us discover whether or not a movie’s budget impacts just how dread-inducing it can be by wearing a Fitbit to monitor your heart rate while you work your way through the list of 13 movies,” it added.
However, the eligibility for the role is quite simple – the candidates applying should be US citizens and at least 18 years of age.
And the movies that will be shown during the experiment include: Saw, Amityville Horror, A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part 2, Candyman, Insidious, The Blair Witch Project, Sinister, Get Out, The Purge, Halloween (2018), Paranormal Activity, and Annabelle.
