The document summarizes the results of a survey given to 12 teenagers and young adults about their preferences for different genres of horror films. According to the pie charts, comedy horror was the most popular subgenre, while slasher horror was the least liked. Half of respondents said horror films scare them, while the other half do not find them scary. More people overall said they like horror films than dislike them. Two follow up interviews will provide more context about people's opinions on different types of horror films.

1. People who like…
Slaher Horror
Psychological Horror
Suernatural Horror
SciFi Horror
Thriller Horror
Comedy Horror
For my audience research I gave a verbal questionnaire to eight girls and four
boys asking them an array of questions about their preferences on horror films.
These people where the right age for my target audience (teenager to young
adult.) The questions I used for the questionnaire were:
Do you like horror films?
Do they scare you?
Do you like Slasher horror?
Do you like Psychological horror?
Do you like Supernatural horror?
Do you like SciFi horror?
Do you like thriller horror?
Do you like Comedy horror?
These pie charts are the results of the answers given for this questionnaire. The
results of the first pie chart shows that the most popular horror film sub genre is
comedy horror, meaning that by analysing the Comedy horror film ‘ZombieLand’
the techniques that were picked up are preferred by the general audience. The
film ‘ZombieLand’ was also a Slasher horror, a sub genre that is not as liked as
much as the others, but this may only show that only the true horror fans can
handle it.

2. People who dislike…
Slaher Horror
Psychological Horror
Suernatural Horror
SciFi Horror
Thriller Horror
Comedy Horror
The most disliked sub genre of horror films is Slasher horror, according to this
pie chart. Other sub genres such as Supernatural horror and Thriller horror
come close also. In reflection to the most liked genre above, Comedy shows the
smallest percentage in most disliked.
For the audiences opinion of whether they find horror films scary or not, the
results are spilt exactly fifty percent each. The could mean that horror films will
only get half of their possible audience because of how willing people won’t be to
try it.
Horror film oppinions.
People who find horrors scary.
People who don't find horrors scary.

3. Horror Film Popularity.
People who like horrors.
People who don't like horrors.
Yet according to the results shown through this chart, horror films gain more
than half the possible audience through people who like horror over people who
don’t. Comparing these last two charts it shows that even though people are
scared they may still try and watch a horror film. But showing those who aren’t
too sure that horror films are ok to watch, my films may not be as scary in the
sense of gore and being graphical, which received the lowest like trough the sub
genre Slasher, but may lead the audience on through techniques of cliff hangers
and keeping up their curiosity, so that they will be more interested in the story
and not as affected by the horror side of it.
To help, the reasons of people answers will become clear though two interviews
that have been conducted, asking people to explain why they feel certain ways
about certain horror films. To give my results a wider variety, I haven’t asked the
same people that I asked for this questionnaire.
