This is part of my research for my Horror Movie project where I have to produce a trailer and promotion pack for my A Level Media Studies coursework.

If you could answer as a reply to this, it'd be a massive help. Even if you just answer each question as (1a, 2c, etc) ... Thank you


(If you don't really know how scary any of the films mentioned are but still want to help, my trailer is going to involve dolls so just answer with those, or with whatever sounds scariest to you.)
