Chris James 2 posted:https://www.instagram.com/p/BwE7SDvB_FO/ American Horror Story: 1984 Alright! I'm on board so far! 1984 obviously sounds like a dystopian steampunk "Big Brother is watching you" kind of season which sounds super cool, but that clip looked a lot more focused on the "84" part of "1984" which I've been wanting for years; a gory slasher season with 80's aesthetics drawing from Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. If that is the way they're going though, I'm worried they could be just a bit late to that given that Stranger Things is a show now. Definitely interested in the teasers to come as we try to piece this together!

Imma watch the hell out of this, but seems like much more well-worn territory than it would have been a few years ago; there’s now been Scream Queens, Scream, Slasher, and I think I might be forgetting one.

It would be like if they were doing a sci fi-themed season set on a space station/vehicle in the distant future and advertised it as "AHS:Star Trek". So my guess is teen slasher set in the 80's as well, partly because I think Murphy has expressed some interest in such a story before. Like the aforementioned "Slasher" and "Scream" have shown, such a story is possible in an episodic format and I hope Murphy manages to stick with one horse this race. I would really love to see an honest attempt at trying to make a suspenseful and gory classic campfire tale slasher inspired by Friday the 13th, the Burning and Sleepaway Camp. Still, the year/"title" and imagery isn't randomly chosen, it's as ambiguous as the other season teasers have been.

It does seem weirdly evocative to use 1984 specifically. The year is I guess notable for Nightmare on Elm Street and Children of the Corn being release alongside one of the Friday the 13th sequels, but they could have picked most years in either direction and had a ton of notable slasher films*. I wouldn't rule out some kind of Orwellian twist certainly. *maybe some slasher film aficionado can make an argument for that being the golden year for slasher films tho

A dystopian surveillance state where the population must avoid thoughtcrime at all times lest the government dispatch a maniac to murder them.

Can't do creepy hotels without vampires. It's going to be both slasher films and the surveillance state.

I'll forever argue that the aliens would have been fine in Asylum if they gave them a bit more time, as it was it felt weird as little hints and then suddenly being integral to the ending of two main character arcs. But I liked the season focusing on other weird things that could be used for horror in that particular time period, like aliens or the threat of secret nazi scientists. It's just that the stuff set around the Asylum itself, Lana Banana and Mary But in general, setting stories about people thinking they saw or were abducted by aliens/nazi craziness and paranoia inside an asylum fits really well to me. e: lmao i combined the nuns Anyway the real thing AHS needs is Lily Rabe to be a regular again and have super involved storylines.

I feel like The Cabin in the Woods kind of does the government surveillance state/slasher theme pretty well and I’m not sure AHS will go that route unless they are paying homage to that movie.

I actually think space was mentioned by Evan Peters as a setting he would love to do on AHS, and there are several examples of the isolation on a spacecraft being a good setting for horror stories, like the Alien movies or Event Horizon.

precision posted:AHS: Event Horizon would be so loving dope I'm more positive to this idea now in the post-Roanoke AHS than I used to be. The first 5 seasons of AHS were really messy and had too many stories going on at the same time (while I still love Asylum, I really think they should have cut the alien plot and a few of the others as well).

I think the problem was that you can’t put both aliens and demons in the same narrative without explaining how they relate to each other. Do the aliens have their own demons, or do they also have our demons, or are our demons actually aliens? Or something else? Both groups were left so mysterious that they were functionally the same. It made for an exciting season for the most part, but people were probably expecting there to be a single explanation for things that didn’t turn out to be related, and so the season kind of sputtered out.

Yeah the early seasons are fine but Roanoke, Cult and Apocalypse were slam dunks imo Like I've even watched Roanoke twice all the way through, it's just so goddamn entertaining

I feel like they forced the aliens into Asylum just to make the Barney and Betty Hill reference and then didn’t bother to think about it again until the finale. Like there is one scene in the middle of the season where the power goes out in the asylum and aliens flash for a brief second and your mind goes “Oh Hell Yes!” But then they’re never seen again and get Dues Ex Machina’d (from what I remember).

I think the biggest improvements in the last three seasons have been: 1. One main plot (and one main villain) instead of several competing stories. Roanoke was about vengeful ghosts in a house that a cynical TV producer wants to milk for all it's worth. Cult was about a murder cult of trumpian manosphere chuds. Apocalypse had the witch coven being earth's last hope against the antichrist. 2. Different tone for each season. It's like they suddenly realized that an anthology could change more than just the setting and characters. Roanoke was cynical and gory but at the same time had a lot of dark humor and satirized both reality TV and horror movie tropes. Cult was a psychological thriller that also was a political satire poking fun at EVERY corner of the political spectrum at the same time, had absolutely no supernatural stuff. Apocalypse was darker with a theme of hopelessness going throughout, and went all out with supernatural stuff. 3. Different storytelling. Roanoke had the gimmick of changing format, from being a "haunting reenactment" show to being a isolation reality show to being a found footage horror film to being a talkshow. Cult had a more linear approach, but anchored the story to real life events (the election) and introduced a plot twist (Valerie Solanas started a cult that were behind the Zodiak killings) through a flashback side story. Apocalypse had a weird structure where the first three and the last episode were separated by a six episode flashback (I'll still defend that this was the right way to tell this particular story).

I'll say it again but casting Lena Dunham as Valerie Solanis was loving brilliant Check out the movie I Shot Andy Warhol by the way, it rips

Not to troll, but exploring the idea of alien ghosts/demons sounds very cool. Oh wait, that’s the plot to the Final Fantasy film, isn’t it? Still a cool premise...

My fav AHS season concept in a long time, and I can't even fully enjoy it because none of my three fav acting talent in the show's history are coming back for it, and one of them is specifically because he's been so mentally broken down from working on the show in general that he knew he needed a break
