You can get paid $1,000 to watch horror movies of your choice for 24 hours straight

• CableTV.com and HighSpeedInternet.com will pay one contest winner $1,000 to watch horror movies for 24 hours straight on Halloween.
• The participant will watch horror movies of their choice on their preferred streaming service.
• The winner will also receive candy and a $50 Starbucks gift card.
• Horror fans have until the end of October 19 to submit 100 words on why they would be the perfect candidate.

This year, skip the parties and haunted houses and celebrate Halloween with a horror-movie marathon that you can get paid for.

This Halloween, CableTV.com and HighSpeedInternet.com are partnering up to run a promotion that will award one horror fan the opportunity to win $1,000 if they can watch scary movies for 24 hours straight.

The viewer can pick the streaming service and horror films

For this "Halloween Dream Job" contest, the chosen participant must watch horror movies on a streaming service of their choice for 24 hours without stopping or falling asleep.

The viewer can pick scary movies of any kind, whether it's the horror classic "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) or the gore-filled comedy "Tammy the T-Rex" (1994).

Throughout the marathon, the participant must tweet updates on the flicks they watch and keep tabs on which movies are the scariest.

CableTV and HighSpeedInternet are also giving the winner a "Welcome Package," which includes candy and a bonus $50 Starbucks gift card to help the viewer stay awake during the 24-hour marathon.

The contest is only open to horror fans in the US, and those interested must submit a 100-word entry

Horror fans interested in entering the 24-hour contest can apply at HighSpeedInternet.com, no entry fee required.

Those who apply must live in the US and be at least 18 years old. Prospective participants must submit a 100-word bio on what makes them the perfect horror-flick aficionado.

Additionally, participants must already have access to the streaming service they wish to use during the movie marathon. Entrants will also be asked to live-tweet their experience if they are chosen for the "Halloween Dream Job."

Those who wish to enter the contest have until the end of October 19 to apply.

Throughout 2020, similar contests have offered to pay viewers to watch hours of content

This isn't the first contest that has offered to pay viewers for an extended stay in front of their TVs.

In March, television provider Dish offered $1,000 to a contest winner for watching 15 hours of "The Office" across nine days.

And in April, MagellanTV had a similar contest that doled out $1,000 if the chosen participant pledged to watch 24 hours of true-crime documentaries in a two-day span.
