About The Lineup
To say we're fans of everything creepy would be an understatement. Whether it's the latest Stephen King book, a collection of under-the-radar horror movies, or an unsolved case that's still haunting us 50 years later, we're dying to share our latest dark obsessions with fellow enthusiasts. On The Lineup, we unearth historical crimes, real ghost stories, the scariest book recommendations-and more. We keep our finger on the pulse of all things creepy, macabre, and unsettling and we share our finds with a wonderful community of like-minded freaky fiends.
Summary
Calling all horror fans, true crime junkies, and paranormal aficionados! We're looking for ambitious social media interns to drive and execute The Lineup's robust growth strategy on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok in collaboration with our content team. The successful candidate is obsessed with social media and understands how content is consumed on both established and emerging platforms. Creative ability, analytical thinking skills, a collaborative mindset, and an entrepreneurial spirit are key to succeeding in this role.
