A company is seeking a horror fan to get paid $1,300 to watch 13 creepy classics and monitor their heart rate to compare the fear factors of high- and low-budget films.

FinanceBuzz, a financial advice website, announced it is seeking a “Horror Movie Heart Rate Analyst” to watch 13 horror films with varying budgets and compare the scares from big-budget movies to their low-budget counterparts.
