Audience Reaction To Halloween (1978)

Here is an audience reaction to the American independent slasher horror film Halloween (1978). I found filming this audience reaction useful as I was able to notify who does and doesn't like horror. As you can see from all of the three girls reactions (Amber, Camilla and Holly), they were all scared from the clip that I showed them. This is convenient for me as I will therefore use all three of them for my horror focus group. Some feedback I got from the girls was that the masked villain is what made them jump and the ominous music. I will therefore use this iconography in my horror trailer because I know that particular aspect made people scared. This also will make my horror trailer quite successful because I'm looking for an audience reaction and I've already been given some I can use further. The girls also said that they were scared of the suburban setting on screen, as it wasn't in the middle of nowhere, but somewhere that seemed so residential and ordinary. This is another handy source of information I can use for my horror trailer. In this video, the girls are watching the scene in the movie where Laurie is hiding from Michael Myers in the closet.
