Survey Monkey Research on Horror

                                                             5 people failed to anwser this question. Or simply forgot.
                                                             This shows that on average 2/5ths of people arn't huge
                                                              fans of Horror films, so they go but only when they feel like it

                               As we can see Male's seem to have a much wider interest in Horror films.
                               More than double the females.                                        



On average the Male's and Females's favourite sub-genre of film was Physcological.

Another question that was asked was: What is your favourite Horror film?

It was interesting on how the films varied. Here are some of the responses:

• Dead Snow (Zombies)
• Scream Trilogy (Slashers)
• The Shining (Physcopaths(?) )
• Poltergeist (Ghosts)
• Paranormal Activity (Ghosts)
• Saw (Physcopaths)
• The Exorcist (Demons)
• Alien (Animals/Aliens)

It was interesting to see that some of people's favourite monsters/villains are other wordly, the idea that the other scares them the most.

Plot and Title for our Horror Movie Trailer.

                                                                The Spare Room


A young couple (Kellie and Mitch) and  are travelling across the U.K on a holiday but their car breaks down along the way which seems to be in the middle of nowhere.
AsMitch checks on the car, a farmer (Michael) comes up to them and asks if they need some help. They ask for a number of a local bed and breakfast and a mechanic. He offers to fix their car because he fixes tractors for a living and he offers them a place to stay in his spare room. Kellie is unsure about staying at the house but Mitch finally persuades her to stay. Michael leads them into his house and takes them up to the room, and they see that the room is dark, smelly and eerie. They finally manage to go to sleep in two dingy fold out beds.
They awake in the morning gagged and tied to the beds and cameras recording them. The farmer and others enter the room carrying power tools and then begins to torture the boyfriend, when the farmer and others leave the house to see who else has driven up near the house. During this moment Kellie manages to tip the bed she is on and cut the rope around her ankles and wrists. She tries to untie her boyfriend but in the middle of doing so the farmer comes up the stairs. She says that she will come back for him while she goes and finds the police but from the loss of blood he eventually dies. The farmer and other slashers realising that Kellie has escaped pursues her down the road where the house lies.

Paranormal Activity 2 Teaser Trailer

This trailer is very effective, the point of a teaser trailer is for it not to give anything away.
To leave you going, What? It makes you want to see what's going to happen and if it's anything like
you thought it would be like.

                                                      The Locals

4 friends are on road trip over the U.K, they are driving along the back roads in the countryside, they are lost so they don’t know where they are going, when suddenly their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, one of them sees a light in the distance coming from a house. They travel up the road to go to the house and ask if there is a spare room available. They knock on the door and a 40 year old farmer man and his wife answer the door.

They ask if they can stay the night and that they will be gone in the morning, they also ask for the number of a local mechanic to fix their car, the framer has had experience in fixing tractors so he says he will try and fix their car. He collects their car from the bottom of the road and sends them into his house. His wife sits them all down into the lounge and gets them a cup of tea and shows them to the spare room where they stay the night.

They are shown to really dingy, tea stained beds in a small cold room with no heating and a really odd smell. They settle down for the night as they hear the sounds are drills and tools being used to fix the car…or at least that’s what they think.

They awake to find themselves chained to the beds by their wrists and ankles and gagged so they cannot scream for help. They look around to see other video cameras around them and blood stained power tools on the floor. They see masked figures, heavily breathing and staring them down. The masked figures then go through a series of torturing the teenagers, all for the entertainment of snuff films that the couple keep for their entertainment. The couple explain how their son was killed by a group of teenagers so they now wreak havoc on all teenagers who pass by and come to the house. After 3 of the teenagers are killed including her boyfriend, the final girl is able to escape by cutting the rope around her wrists with a saw that is placed on the floor in the room, she has to sneak out of the house avoiding the masked couple and run and get help, but more masked figures turn up and spot her trying to escape, a lethal game of cat and mouse pursues and see has to stay alive till morning to escape and get help from the locals.

This is a local town, for local folk
