Since learning AHS has been renewed for 3 more seasons (😱) I’ve started my search for thoughts & theories (🥳). Back when 1984 was airing, ‘Ryan Murphy told TV Guide to remain on the lookout for a clue about next season’s top-secret theme. Specifically, he said, “There will be, probably a big one, in Episode 8.” ‘
‘Cut to Episode 8, Rest in Pieces, during which Brooke and Donna encountered a reporter for The National Enquirer. “Back in the ’70s, all anyone cared about was Bigfoot, aliens, the Loch Ness Monster — all that Leonard Nimoy In Search Of… s–t,” she told them. Because little else in the episode stood out from 1984‘s typical fare, fans theorized that a season about some of the world’s greatest unsolved mysteries could be in order.’
‘It’s also possible that the clue was even more specific than that. Ever since Kit Walker’s close encounter in Season 2 (Asylum), fans have been vocal about their desire to see American Horror Story address that lingering alien storyline. Every season is connected, after all.’
Personally, I don’t know how I feel about an entire alien oriented season. ‘America’s obsession with urban legends’ however could be really dark, interesting and super fun if made a time piece.
