Social Media Audience Research Question

Maddy recently created a Twitter Poll with a simple question that aimed to find people's opinions on potential weapons that can be used within a short horror film. There were limits to how many options could be put in the poll so it was narrowed down to the most iconic and conventional choices. It was quite a surprise to see that the top voted weapon ended up being the chainsaw, since it may be expected that something simply more common, like the knife, would be the highest choice.  The high percentage of people who chose chainsaw may be down to the higher risk and danger that comes with it, as well as it being more scary in many aspects, such as it's appearance or sound. The influence of previous films, like 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and the recent emergence of the use of chainsaws in horror may have impacted the opinions of people and therefore the results.
