Getting paid to watch horror movies sounds like a fake job listing, but this one has an actual application. CableTV.com is looking for three Halloween “Thrillterns”, and each person selected will get $666 plus a $50 Uber Eats gift card.
The assignment: watch scary movies and share your thoughts on the horror characters who stand out. CableTV.com says it will use the selected fans’ picks and reactions in a forthcoming article. It does not publish a fixed movie list in the application details, so you can leave your lovingly argued horror rankings in your head for now.
How to apply for the $666 horror-movie gig
Apply through CableTV.com’s 2026 Thrillternship page. The application is open through October 11, 2026, at midnight Mountain Time, according to the official page. Applicants must be at least 18 and legal residents of the United States or Washington, D.C.; the full contest terms and entry form are on that page.
There are three spots, so this is an application, not a guaranteed paycheck for everyone who watches a scary movie. Still, $666 for horror-movie opinions is a pretty fitting Halloween side quest.
