So the hiker had already lost an ear before Mr. Jingles broke out. Mr. Jingles also didn't take any ears from the people he did kill as far as we saw, though he did take keys which is a bit more fitting for him. I think they might be two different killers. And then there is the Nightstalker too. There might be three different serial killers at this summer camp.

I think Murphy is leaning way too hard into the summer camp/slasher cliches, and he's going to go into a completely different direction in a few episodes. Placing my bet now: 1984 looks like a teen slasher, but it's actually Orwell's 1984, and the kids are part of a closely monitored government experiment. I was thinking along the lines of The Village, where the "killer" is some authority figure in disguise who's supposed to keep the kids from leaving the camp. But I think any kind of government-conspiracy scenario would fit. Ryan Murphy does love his "clever" swerves, and it feels like the name is a big clue. He could've picked any year from the decade or so when slasher movies were super-popular, but 1984 has very different connotations. Also, a lot of seasons were named for their location, (Roanoke, Murder House, Asylum) or the group of people involved (Coven, Freak Show, Cult). So I feel like if it were just kids at slasher camp, he would have called it Camp or something like that. He also likes to do a big twist around the 6th episode of each season, and a friend just informed me that this year, the 6th episode is the 100th series episode, so I expect something extra-insane. Finally, I'm digging it so far (the soundtrack alone is making me very happy), but I keep looking for clues about what's REALLY going on. There's no way it's this simple.

The whole season is a serial killer deathmatch map.

Emma Roberts is a serial killer nexus. Eventually everyone, including the children will try to kill her.

I’ve only seen one other episode of AHS and it featured a microwaved hamster and I was like “maybe next year” Watched this last night and really enjoyed it for the most part. Religious Zealotry and serial killer aesthetics are cool, but I’m with the other posters, that episode was a completely on-rails first half of an 80’s slasher flick, so I have no idea how we keep the momentum going for 9 more hours.

My prediction is that the camp owner is the killer and jingles was framed by her. But I feel as if there is way more to the story than just that. I like the theory above though. Mr Ice Cream Glove fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Sep 19, 2019 |

CODChimera posted:I kept waiting for a twist or something to veer it off the typical serial killer story The twist is that the new girl everyone thinks is high/crazy is actually crazy. The Nightstalker didn't attack her, she imagined it. There was nobody nailed to the door. Nobody chased her. There definitely wasn't enough time for the killer to chase her back to the cabin and also move the body and remove every trace of the bloody mess. Rough old wood like that can hide dirt, but it holds on to dampness, no way was that door dry and clean that quickly if it got blood on it.

As others have noted I really can't see how they could drag out the current setup for even a couple more episodes, like the cops know where Jingles is going right? so they'll be swarming that place...and the hitchhiker...there's definitely some fuckery going on already...April posted:I think Murphy is leaning way too hard into the summer camp/slasher cliches, and he's going to go into a completely different direction in a few episodes.

Multiple killers is very plausible, especially since the killer in the trailers was masked and Mr. Jingles really doesn't have any mystery to him. Including the Night Stalker feels gratuitous though, just for the sake of another '80s name drop. Could have easily been Brooke's abusive ex that she moved to L.A. to escape. But I like the theory she actually imagined it. I was getting ultra suspicious, probably to an inane degree. Montana's bag that she forgot in the gym, I thought there was something to that. She also sleeps with a knife after all. But she was a lot more upbeat than I was expecting from the screen test. Less Joan Jett and more Cyndi Lauper. Something's definitely going down in episode 5 and/or 6. No way they stretch this out for 9 or 10 episodes.

Maybe he'll throw in a Freddy style dream killer, and this is all happening inside someone's head.

The only good thing about that episode was the intro.. the intro rocked. The rest was super boring. I wasn't very impressed by the set, costumes, or makeup either. I've been watching 80s slashers in anticipation and this was a big letdown.

I liked it but also like someone said earlier this entire episode was basically the first 10 minutes of any slasher movie spread out to 50 minutes. Even assuming for a twist if the current setup lasts even 3 full episodes it will still be longer than most slasher flicks, so the pace is going to be slow kind of by design.

I started watching Cult for the first time last night and it was quite prescient in the first episode when Sarah Paulson’s character cries “What about Merrick Garland!” I know that wasn’t the seat Kavanaugh took but drat. I’m worried about 1984. There’s a reason slashers are only 90 minutes long and I think a Scream Queens whodunnit might have been a better way to go but the season isn’t called Camp or Slasher so we will see what they have planned.

The game Until Dawn is more or less a pretty good 8-hour slasher so it can be done. Although it does change course a couple of times and move from one threat to another, but TV shows can do the same thing and AHS has done so in the past.

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, the show moves past its initial premise like Apocalypse did and leans more heavily into Satanic Panic and Xavier is the antichrist again (or at the very least makes a meta joke about it) they seem to be setting up satanic panic something at least

Patrick Swayze looking a little rough, lol. Wait, isn't Patrick Swayze dead? WTF. Looks pretty good for a dead guy. Nah, must have been somebody else. Oh poo poo, the Patrick Swayze looking mechanic is back. Look at those eyes, it's him! Back from the grave to play a bit part in AHS. This is driving me nuts, what does IMDB say. Oh, it's Don Swayze, Patrick's still living brother. Okay.
