Get Paid to Watch Scary Movies: Apply for Our Halloween “Thrillternship”

Stream and snack your way toward an internship worth $666.

Apply by October 7th, 11:59 MST

Annual Bloodstream Dream Job

After years of missing in the miasma, a resurrection is in order …

As part of our annual Bloodstream programming, we’re raising our horror movie marathon Halloween Dream Job from the dead. Only this time, it’s taking the form of a [cue lightning and thunder] Thrillternship [cue even more lightning and thunder].

How to apply for the Thrillternship

Willing to watch the scariest films of all time? If you’re above the age of 18 and a U.S. resident, you can apply to be a CableTV.com Thrilltern below. Make sure to apply by October 7th, 11:59 MST. Every participant will get one month of Screambox for 99 cents, winner wins a full year!

What is CableTV.com’s Halloween Thrillternship?

One (un)lucky ghoul will get paid $666 to watch horror movies this Halloween season as CableTV.com’s Thrilltern. While this internship position doesn’t count for any course credits, you’ll get to watch movies for money—and you won’t have to sell your soul or anything, either.

All we ask is that you stream five horror films (from our list of the scariest movies) and then provide a video where you rank and review the movies (more on this below, muahahaha).

Who we want to hire for the Thrillternship

Like interns in other professions, our ideal Thrilltern is someone new to the cinemaphile-meets-working-life scene. We’re looking for students attending a college, university, trade school, or even the school of life.

That’s right, even if you’re not going to a formally accredited school, we can help you get schooled in cinematic spookiness. But it’s worth mentioning that this position doesn’t count toward any school credits. Think of it as “street cred” amongst your friends and family, and an extra notch on your axe, er … professional resume.

I mean, who doesn’t want to brag they got paid to watch the best horror movies on Netflix?

Basically, anyone with a pulse 18 and older, who is a resident of the U.S. is eligible to apply, but BEWARE! This position is not for the faint of heart—we’re looking for real fans of fear, enthusiasts of the eerie, and devotees to the dreadful.

What will the Thrilltern do?

For the last Halloween-themed dream job, our victim employee watched a grueling 24 hours of horror films, but we’ll go a little easier on the intern while they cut their teeth. 

Our Thrilltern’s job is simple: Survive five of the scariest films of all time, rank which movies you thought were the scariest, and give a brief review of your experience, providing any creepy critiques and terrifying takes you may have.

What’s in it for the Thrilltern?

A devilish $666 payday awaits our beast of burden. And of course, we don’t expect you to watch horror movies on an empty stomach, so we’ll provide a $50 Uber Eats gift card for you to calm your nerves with comfort food. Plus, you’ll get a one-year subscription to Screambox—that way, you can keep honing your horror-movie-reviewing chops.

And of course, CableTV.com will cover the subscription cost of streaming services during the duration of the Thrillternship. That means you can stream any of the best horror movies on Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime on our dime to ensure you do a killer job during your time as an intern.
