The target audience of modern day horror movies are older teens and young adults, and both male and female. A typical viewer of horror movies is usually middle class.
Males who enjoy horror usually also enjoy listening to music. They like rock, and any other music that is popular. They also enjoy watching tele, doing sport and playing video games. Other film genres they like are comedy and action.They usually dislike reading. They usually wear clothes that fit the current fashion as they like to look nice.
Typical female viewers of the horror genre may also enjoy pop music, but will listen to other popular music. They like fashion and most like animals and pretty colours. They like watching romcoms aswell as horror. Typical female horror fans dislike sport and videogames. Like males, they too wear the latest clothes and care about their appearance.
These examples are not the same as the stereotypical horror fan. A stereotypical horror fan is seen as having dyed balck hair and wearing black clothes. They also enjoy heavy rock music and hate other popular music. Stereotypically, they are seen as being a dark character, who enjoys watching people who are scared and in pain. They are seen as having a dark outlook on life. Not many horror fans fit this stereotype. Most people watch horror because they enjoy a scare, and not because they are dark inside.
