According to Nerdist, one lucky person—nicknamed a Thrilltern—will receive a devilish payment of $666 for watching five movies on the streaming service before October 24. The selected individual must choose the films from CableTV’s list of the scariest movies ever, which includes iconic titles like A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), The Exorcist (1973), and The Shining (1980).

After watching all five movies, the Thrilltern must rank them according to how scary they found them, according to the press release. They must also provide brief reviews of each movie, offering critiques and any unique perspectives. Screambox will cover the cost of any streaming service subscriptions—including Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime—for the duration of the internship.
