I usually watch tv while I eat, and quickly realized that horror and bisque aren’t the ideal match. $200 for me.

    I would happily be paid in soup.

    Soup is great, but I struggle with horror. If you’d eat with me and we’d watch the movie together, I think it’d be a good time.

    There are more great soups than good horror movies. I’ve already seen most of them, and it’s spooky month!

    Then watch The Thing director's commentary with John Carpenter and Kurt Russel on youtube, and have a yoghurt. Think of your health, you're not getting any younger.

    directors commentary

    Eh. The only director’s commentary I’ve ever seen is napoleon dynamite, and that was solely because I learned that they cut one of the characters out. There were originally two Hispanic kids. I see no reason to remove the magic from one of my favorite movies

    Horror movies never really work on me. I just find them boring. Jump scares might make me jump some of the time, but it doesn't actually scare me, it's just the surprise factor and my working reflexes. I think if I'm drinking soup I'll be able to suppress that reflex. Probably.

    You'll have to pay me to watch the horror movie, but I'll pay to add the soup. Call it even?

    Free if I can have company. I am not amused by most media for a general public. Hopefully the soup is interesting. You might need to pay me to stay after I finish the soup.

    I usually watch Anton Petrov, GeologyHub, Scott Manley, Fraser Cain, Applied Science, Nile Red, Huygens Optics, or similar stuff for meal time.

    Do I have to hold the bowl? or can I set it down on a table and only risk a spoonful of hot fluids on my face?

    Spooky movies don't scare me. Neither do horror movies.

    Jump scares rely on you being emotionally invested in the characters, and I'm not. I watch more objectively. A surprise is a surprise, but most jump scares are pretty well telegraphed if you know what to look for.

    If I were like 13 and I didn't? I dunno, $20 was a lot when I was 13. That was like an album, a 2 litre of soda, some candy, and some crisps.

    Probably free. Depends on how hot the soup and how scary the movie.

    My limit for spicy is habanero and my limit for horror is the Smile movies. After that the price goes up significantly, probably in the hundreds of dollars, with more emphasis on the spiciness of the soup, but if the movie will cause nightmares for weeks to come...yeah, that can also add up.

    Interesting question OP.

    I'd do it for free, as I did yesterday lunchtime, but if you want to pay me I'll take whatever! Altho I see you've mentioned the soup is just below 100C which just seems like you're gonna burn your mouth pretty badly no matter what you're watching lol - maybe if I can let it cool down to normal temperature?
