Research: Target Audience - Secondary Research

I conducted some research in order to further my knowledge about the horror genre. I came across this bar chart when searching.

The bar chart explains that most females in horror films usually last until the end, this reinforced the idea of the Final Girl Theory and that the girl is portrayed as brave. Men who are normally portrayed as intellegent however quite cowdily are used as stock characters.

Therefore there are various characters that are stereotypical used as stock characters in horror films and are generally killed off early in the film.
