Marketing Horror Films

Audience:
  • Male-based
  • Teens
  • Trailers in specific channels at a certain time
  • Posters (on buses, bus stops)

- Word of mouth

- Online Advertising - pop ups, youtube, social networking sites

- Magazines - film entertainment (cover story)

- Film marketing - USP, advertising, publicity, promotions

Publicity - attention from media, star interviews, press screenings, Gala premiers

Promotions - merchandise often with 'third party' e.g. McDonalds

Example: Blair Witch Project - no stars, no special effects or soundtrack, cheap location, budget of $25,000. But film was promoted widely and appealed to the target market due to official website, trailers and posters.
