General Questionnaire on Horror Films

Welcome to the questionnaire on Horror Films, by conducting research through this questionnaire I hope to gain a better insight into what type of horror films interest the particular age groups I have chosen, this will then give me an idea of what sort of horror film I should opt to produce. Also the questionnaire will hopefully tell me more about how often they watch film trailers and the methods they use to do so, and it will also give me ideas on what I could possibly include in my trailer.
