In class, we have been researching different theorists in relation to horror audience, and the different ways of how we as individuals, analyse audience theories. We studied Paul Well's research theory, which consisted of a small group from various ages, which carefully focused on the relationship between audiences and the horror genre. He had categorised the age groups, as well as years, making it rather specific. He asked them what was the earliest horror movie they watched, and then the latest one, illustrating the difference between movies over the years.
From the table above, it shows that relationship to being frightened changes with age and relates to broader factors, such as life experiences. Also, young audiences are aware of artificiality, therefore, becoming harder to shock.
