USDish is looking for one devoted horror film fan to experience 13 frightening movies before Halloween.

ACROSS AMERICA — Job descriptions don't get much better than this, as the Dish Network retailer USDish.com is looking to pay one brave fan $1,300 to watch 13 Stephen King movies before Halloween.
It's the spookiest time of the year and the satellite television company wants to know all the jumps and scares you might experience during the famed films. USDish's focus on Stephen King films comes with the recent release of "IT Chapter 2" and the upcoming premier of "Doctor Sleep," which are both based off King's novels.
The lucky participant will be provided with a worksheet to track everything from who they watched with, what they thought about the movie before watching, and even the amount of sleep they get during the process.

"Movie buff? Scaredy cat? Adrenaline junkie? All of the above? This job is not for the faint of heart, but it could be for you," said USDish. "The ideal candidate has to be detail-oriented enough to track their experience. They could even share their scares on social media and vlog every time they jump out of their seats."
There's a chance you might leave the experience with night terrors, but the person selected will also depart the endeavor with more than just a $1,300 pay day.
The presumed horror film junkie will receive a Stephen King survival kit that includes a flashlight, blanket, movie-watching snacks, Amazon gifts card, and the previously mentioned Fitbit to track your heart rate through it all.
You just might unfortunately find yourself mumbling, "You'll float too."
The only requirement for applicants is that they must be 18 years or older and U.S. citizen or permanent resident ... and not a scaredy cat. Applications are open until Oct. 15.
