The target audience for horror films is teenagers and young adults aged 15-35, as they are curious about suspense and shock. While males are often considered the main audience, females actually tend to like horror films more than males due to enjoying the surprise and scare. Children under 15 and older adults over 50 are generally not part of the target audience, as the very young can be too easily scared and older individuals prefer to avoid the worry and suspicion that horror films provoke.

1. Horror Audience Profile
I think that the target audience of Horror films would be Teenagers or the
younger generation , ageing 15-35. Teens are curious and naïve which draws
them to horror films as they love the suspense. Men are usually stereotyped as
the main target audience but women are usually more interested in horror films
than males. This is because female like to feel the surprise and Shock. I would not
class young children as a target audience as most children are to scared to watch
50+) in the target audience as the older you get the more worry’s you have the
more suspicious you get, therefor older people tend to avoid Horror films.
