Hype as hell, but I really do miss the musical skits they used to do to preview characters for a season. You know, like Caraseoul for Freakshow, and Que Sera Sera for Asylum.

The best part of Cult was Sarah Paulsons character unwillingly becoming a rightwing hero after accidentally shooting one of her mexican workers.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Oh god, I'm getting that "Maybe this will actually rule this time" feeling again.

I will give them this, they have some of the best god drat marketing I've ever seen.

Last few seasons have been pretty good, but the idea of Coven + Murder House seems like it might lean into the impulses of those seasons I didn't like (poor narrative signalling, terrible structure generally) as opposed to the impulses I loved (BALENCIAGA!!!).

Actually, everything Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Pose, Feud, even 9-1-1) has been pretty good for the last few years, ever since he did the OJ Simpson season. Maybe he's changed, or maybe having to make a play for Netflix has forced him to reevaluate things, or maybe he's just too busy to be crap in any one place, and someone else is pulling things together (AKA Asylum era Ryan Murphy). Who can say. I'm just loving happy.

I think he's just doing less of his own writing lately. He's a great director and idea man, but tends to easily go off the rails when doing the actual scripting.

e: i feel like b/c of this he does his best work when he's stretched so thin he can't be super hands on with any one project

If I'm being honest I guess I was hoping for more of a wasteland wanderer vibe a la the Fallout games or the movie The Book of Eli, whereas it looks like we'll be trapped inside a house the whole time (was that Murder house or the Coven? looked more like the Coven house). That's not to say they may not stray from that initial setting, but maybe we should expect more of a 10 Little Indians vibe rather than an Escape from New York or Mad Max vibe.

Huh, I just realized that all of AHS's seasons are basically contained in one central location that has its own personality. The murder house, the asylum, the coven home, the carnival tent, the hotel, the Roanoke house... I guess Cult is the only one where the main setting isn't a prominent character in its own way.

Evan Peters' house was centralized. Dead parents bodies, killing peeps, police raid.

It's pretty hard to have a scary story and not have it be about a house. Look at Netflix's horror section.

I seem to recall Murphy a long time ago saying something about how the idea that certain places are just inherently evil was one of the underlying themes of the show as a whole.

I dunno if it's just me, but the way they're promoting it is making it feel like the last season, even though it....isn't? Ever since Hotel, they've been pulling the themes and ideas from all the seasons together closer and closer, especially in Roanoke (not so much Cult, but that was a great season), and it feels like the show has been leading up to....something since then, like with all the threads coming together, even with it being an anthology show? They've set up a lot of rules and mythology for the AHS universe.

I'm guessing that the twist will be that only LA gets nuked and the rest of the US is fine, or seasons 9 and 10 will be set in the past, unless the narrative continues on from this in them. Then again, the appeal of this show is the 'throw everything to the wall, see what sticks' approach to story telling.

I feel like this will be a culmination of all the little crossovers and connections the series has had so far. Then after this they can just continue doing whatever they want, in the same universe or w/e as the other seasons or a new one.

I want another period piece season real bad tho

Season 6 is still my favorite season. I like how many characters there are and how simple the plot is. No crazy 5 b stories running during it. Season 7 was ok but it changed tones right in the middle with this heavy female revenge plot that made no sense.

I don't know, you could send me those photos and tell me they're from the Beetlejuice reboot and I'd 100% believe you. It can't be a coincidence how close Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates come to Delia Deets and Otho. If course I never really noticed before how much Evan Peters look like Topher Grace with the right hair cut.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

I just lazily lost my give-a-poo poo to hate-watch Roanoke and I saw the notion behind Cult and just was not in a great place to watch it in 2017 and probably still won't so I gave up on this dumb show entirely. Should I dehumanize myself and face to returning to hate-watch Apocalypse because I know that smashing many different past seasons together is going to be dumb as hell?

I was wondering about the last character of those portraits and checked the last name of the character. Its the same as the last name of the characters Evan Peters and Jessica Lange played. So I'm assuming he's the antichrist baby from Murderhouse?

Yup, the one Kathy Bates says 'Hail Satan' to in the trailer. I'm really curious how the house is still a factor in anything after the apocalypse, but I'm so psyched for tonight.
