The document summarizes the results of a horror film questionnaire given to students ages 16-19. It found that there was no preference between genders for horror films. The most common age group that enjoyed horror films was 18 years old. When asked about elements in horror films, both boys and girls preferred suspense, but girls favored psychological elements more while boys preferred blood and gore more. The target audience for a new horror film based on these findings would be ages 15-25, appealing to both males and females.
