FinanceBuzz, a financial advice website, is looking for a candidate to watch a variety of scary movies and monitor their heart rate to compare the fear factor of different flicks.

The 'Horror Movie Heart Rate Analyst' will watch horror films with varying budgets to compare the fear factors of big-budget and low-budget movies.

The chosen candidate will be using a FitBit device to track their heart rates when watching the different films.

The website has selected films such as 'A Quiet Place', 'Get Out' and 'Paranormal Activity' for viewers to sample.

It added: "The lucky candidate hired for this ghostly gig will be paid $1,300 for their efforts. We'll also provide a FitBit to wear during their movie marathon and a $50 gift card to cover the cost of movie rentals."
