This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about preferences for horror and thriller films among a target audience. Key findings include that the target age group is 16-18 year olds, the audience has a slight preference for female leads or mixed gender casts, and supernatural or psychological thrillers in settings like woodlands or houses would be most appealing. Locations and lead character gender were found to be less important than other elements like plot, tension, and scare factor.
