Audience Feedback: Expectations.

What Makes A Horror Horrifying?

We asked for other peoples opinions on what makes a horror film scary, via twitter and facebook, below are some of the responses we received. They will be useful later on when we are researching and considering our target audience. It will also help when considering the expectations created by a horror film.

If you mean horror movies, then 90% of the time its the music that makes them so scary.

Predictable and probable story lines with the inevatable death of someone or something.


darrenhorne @princessjade18 Fear of the unkown, xenophobia, fear of being out of control.

xrobsessedx @princessjade18 Dark lighting, everyday situations/locations that make the story seem more believable.

AdamTyson @princessjade18 Monsters. And that even though your running, you will be caught and killed by the slowest moving thing ever.
