Our Stereotypical Horror fan


Our stereotypical horror fan, mainly like action horror, but doesn’t mind elements of gore and psychological horror in the films that he watches. Wears casual clothing like jeans and a t-shirt. Generally goes to the cinema with a few friends. His appearance doesn’t bring across that he is a huge horror fan. Probably plays video games in his free time

He generally fits into the C2 and D1 demographics, but can also be above or below that. Mainly mainstream, he doesn’t have all the characteristics of a mainstream psychographic, because he also adapts to what society is like at the moment (clothing etc.). Usually around 18-35 years old. They see themselves as a mainstreamer. They like whatever is popular at the time, however also show signs of reformer. They see things in the world aren’t perfect and they want to change it.  They enjoy horror movies as they twist stereotypes and like the forward thinking. They like the fact there are black and women hero, it shows how the world is changing and that just because you are a certain sex or race doesn’t mean you can’t do things.  

Their favourite horror movies would be:

·         The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

·         Dawn of the Dead (2004)

·         The Crazies (2010)

·         The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
