Audience Research (Horror Themes)

I went around my class and asked my peers what horror theme me and my partner should go with. Me and my partner picked the top five that we thought could be the best for our ideas. These were super natural, religion, madness and mystery. It came out that mystery was the most popular choice of theme to go with in our horror opening sequence. Me and my partner originally thought that this was going to be the most popular because the amount of suspense that it builds for the audience, and the fact that they have to try and figure out whats going on along the way.
