Its not a study. Its a marketing strategy. Probably will cost them a couple of grand, and gets their name out there because the premise is so click-baity.

This. I grew up watching scary movies as a little kid. Even watched Nightmare on Elm Street movies while in the single digit age. The only two movies that ever scared me in my life were both when i was in 5th grade though From Hell (literally have no idea why this scared me) and Thirteen Ghosts. Somehow this one did me in and had me scared to be upstairs by myself for a little while. Nothing after that has ever scared me, and I don't jump at jump scares.

Seriously?

Gonna sound like a snob, but that's a fucking horrendous lineup if you're trying to measure people being scared. Unless they want to focus on mainstream stuff specifically.

I would think choosing a person who has seen any of them would ruin what they are going for.

I like both those movies and thought Get Out was great.

My point was they aren't scary. Quiet Place has some tense moments, but nothing that's really gonna fuck you up. Get Out I don't think is scary at all despite being the best movie on the list.

I mean, people can sign up if they want, but theyre going to pick the person whose social media following is the most advantageous for them to get their name out in front of.

Gotta admit though, its a damn good marketing idea. I guarantee there are people kicking themselves for not thinking of it first.

Will they allow participants that have already seen most of those movies?

They should of titled it "Someone else will be getting 1,300 dollars to watch 13 horror movies"

They know they're setting people up for disappointment in a time people are strugglin for money, which is all the time. Whatever works as clickbait tho.

They might just be non malicious idiots. I'll keep a lil optimism

Amityville Horror (if it's the original) and Purge are awesome. Never seen Sinister, and Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project were boring af.

Should be something like

Cannibal Holocaust
Last House on The Left
It Follows
Martyrs
I Spit On Your Grave
Faces of Death
Salo or The 120 Days of Sodom
The Human Centipede
The Green Inferno
A Serbian Film

Some of those movies suck, but for $1300 might as well scar a few folks, lol.

If it's the original Amityville I agree but I got the feeling it's going to be the Ryan Reynolds one. Also, I hated all the purge movies. They were so stupid. I disagree about the other movies. I think Blair Witch and Paranormal are good for a first-time view.

They dont want a seasoned horror fan for this. Thats why the lineup is just some of the most basic horror movies.

They want a hot 20yo blonde chick that is going to oversell every scare and literally cry. So they can make a super cut of her screaming, throwing popcorn and freaking out. The whole thing will be filmed with night vision from a camera sitting on the ground, aiming up at a weird angle. Between every scream they will do that simulated TV static thing as a cut, and the entire thing will have royalty free "horror themed" music.
