Audience Research 2: Stereotypical Gory Horror Fan





Description of stereotypical fan: His name is Randy, he’s bearded; he doesn’t seem to be very particular about his image, just dresses in casual wear, not upper class dress, not tatty old clothes, just normal casual wear.  He keeps himself to himself, not particularly outgoing, maybe slightly overweight/unhealthy but a friendly guy, family orientated, doesn’t fit the stereotype as a fan of gornography. Reminds people of Tom Savini who is a special effects person. Maybe wouldn’t expect this guy to be a fan or gory horror just by looking at him.


Demographic Profile:  C1 – skilled labourers (working class). He could be a builder/plumber/electrician.

Psychographic Profile: he is more of an Outsider than a Mainstreamer, he isn’t the kind of person to watch shows like Geordie Shore or TOWIE. He wouldn’t watch soaps, more a fan of things like Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Dexter and small short run Dramas on BBC/Channel 4.

Favourite films might include: his three favourite horrors include; Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973), Dawn Of The Dead (1979), Friday The 13th (1980).

His other favourite films include: Trainspotting, Pusher, Snatch etc.
