Spooky Side Hustle: Get Paid $1,000 to Binge-Watch Disney Halloween Movies

Update

Shane Co. found a Disney Halloween movie fanatic that took on the binge-watch job role! Congratulations to Chris Jacobi for winning $1,000 to binge-watch Disney Halloween Movies. The emotional answers about how Chris and his family have bonded over their love for all things Disney following his wife’s battle with breast cancer really left us no choice but to select him as the winner of the contest. Check out his bio and winning submission below!

The Winning Binge-watcher – Chris Jacobi

Chris is a 43-year-old who has been happily married to his wife, Angela, for nearly 20 years. They have two sons; Carter age 15 and Deklan age 11. Most of their time outside of work is spent getting their boys to their sports and musical theater activities. In the family’s free time they enjoy watching movies and shows on Disney+ as well as visiting the four Disney parks in Orlando, FL. 

The Winner’s Submission

Tell us why we should pick you to binge-watch Disney Halloween movies.

My family is the definition of Disney fanatics. We moved from Indiana to Orlando, FL in 2020  after my wife survived her battle with breast cancer. Going through something so difficult gave us a new perspective on just how precious our time is that we get to spend together. We wanted to focus our time on making memories with our two boys before they are grown up. The Disney parks have been our family’s “happy place” for a long time. After relocating to Orlando, we have been able visit the parks multiple times per month! 

We have been Disney+ subscribers since day one and have enjoyed each new movie and series together as a family. Our boys are pre-teen and teenagers now, so it is not always easy to find things that we are all interested in doing together. Disney is something that brings our family together and helps us make memories that will last a lifetime. If selected, we would watch the ten Disney movies together as a family and use this special occasion to make another memory together. Even if we are not selected, I love the idea of watching 10 Disney movies together leading up to Halloween! Thanks for your consideration!

What is your favorite Halloween movie and why? 

Our favorite Halloween movie is Coco. It is a movie that we could watch together even when our boys were younger that wouldn’t scare them too much! The music and culture shared in Coco are amazing. We loved the theme of the movie and how it is focused on family, especially our loved ones who are no longer with us physically, but they live on with us in our memories.

Summary

Are you a lover of all things horror and Halloween? Do you happen to be a Disney diehard with a penchant for the spooky and supernatural? The two sound like an unlikely pairing, but that hasn’t stopped Disney from dabbling in the paranormal and serving up scares and laughs in the process. From Edward Scissorhands to Twitches, there’s a slew of seasonal movies that aren’t just for kids.

Whether you’re a Disney veteran or new to the magic kingdom, we will pay one person $1,000 to binge-watch 10 of Disney’s darker classics. Make it a date night and curl up with a special someone for a Halloween movie marathon, Disney style! Shane Co. will provide a $50 Amazon gift card that can be used to purchase a Disney+ subscription along with any movies that aren’t available on the streaming platform.

These Disney tales will take you to hair-raising destinations like the Land of the Dead (Coco) and Halloween Town (The Nightmare Before Christmas). Scary movies are a hall-of-fame date-night destination, but for couples who want something a little less terrifying, we have a special movie marathon waiting for you.

What We’re Looking For

Applicants can be Disney diehards or fans of scary (but not too scary) Halloween movies. We’re looking for one special fan to binge-watch 10 of these wholesome horror movies this spooky season. Films include the Halloweentown saga (Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown), along with other seasonal favorites like Mom’s Got a Date With a Vampire and The Haunted Mansion. Or maybe you have your calendar marked for the release of Hocus Pocus 2, scheduled just in time for a bewitching time of year!

You can either go it alone or find a partner to dive into a night of spooky Disney flicks. It’s okay to call for backup if you scare easily, as long as you answer our questionnaire afterward without any help!
