Don't have Halloween plans yet? This one's for you: CableTv.com and HighSpeedInternet.com have teamed up to offer a lucky someone the chance to win $1,000 when binge-watching horror movies for 24 hours straight on Halloween night. If hired, you'll also get loads of candy and a $50 Starbucks gift card. Now that's a job worth taking.

Here are the details: you can pretty much choose whatever films you want to watch ("Anything goes: gooey gore-fests, m-m-m-monster movies, folk horror, killer clowns, ghost stories, giallo films, psychological thrillers and even awesomely bad B-flicks," reads the official job description) but you'll have to live tweet your experience. As for qualifications: you have to love horror movies (duh), be at least 18 years old and an official U.S. citizen.

Given that 24 hours amount to 1,440 minutes and most movies clock in between 90 and 120 minutes, you'll really only have to watch 12 to 16 flicks. Sounds like a pretty phenomenal task to us.
