Following my previous questionnaire I have decided to do a second to add to my understanding of horror audience.

horrors? |

please note that each specific colour refers to an different answers from the same person. From this questionnaire, I can determine that special effects should be avoided and the opening must be intellectually challenging. Insanity and bloodthirst are also popular themes and I think a psychopathic killer similar to the antagonist in Psycho or The Shining will be a good choice.
