The Target Audience of Teen Horror from someone mostly clueless.

According to the research I have done into the sort of person that watches Teen Horror Movies, they are all watching them out of supposed boredom. None of the people interviewed said that Teen Horror was their favourite genre, stating other genres as their favourite. It can be argued that because these people have been known to watch such movies they are simply looking for something to tie them over to the next release of a film they will enjoy even more.

The demographic of the Teen Horror genre audience would be a D,C1,C2 15 - 19 Male Mainstreamer. The socio-economic aspects are because of the rather simple and generally ridiculous plots are thought of as something that isn't particularly high-brow, which higher classes would be expected to watch.  Male bias is due to the silly plots again but its violence and sexual imagery. The mainstreamer are interested because of how simple it is to discuss with other people. A secondary audience could be B 18 - 25 Individualists because of the simple plots. They go along to see these films possibly because they find them humorous compared to the films they would usually watch that have more complex themes and plots.
