In a horror film, the audience that generally go to see them are male and at the ages of 15-35 as this is the age where they tend to feel the most fearful. I think that the ages starts at 15 because this is the general certificate for horror films and that they will want to see a horror much more than older men. I think that men will enjoy a horror much more than women because they prefer something that they can relate to in the sense that they like to act brave but they still like some sort of thriller to scare them.
Most couples will go to horrors as the male will play the role of the protector and the woman can hide into his shoulder. Most couples go to see horrors recently rather than a romantic comedy.
As this table shows, the majority of people that went to see a horror film were from the lower working class. This could be because stereotypically the lower class tend to prefer being scared as they think of it as a joke and that they tend to go around scaring others suggesting that they like the sense of fear and spreading it to other people around them. Also, the highest amount of people that went were between the ages of 15- 24 which suggests that because they are a younger audience that they prefer being scared compared to an elder audience. This may suggest why the lower class went to see more horror films as between that age range they will not have a well paid job and so will be considered as the working class.
