American Horror Story season 6 premieres tonight, September 14 at 10/9c on FX. Next to nothing has been revealed about this season: not the setting, theme, or even title, so there's not much to include in this OT. In lieu of relevant content, I've decided to just post pictures of that dog.

American Horror Story is an anthology horror drama series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The Emmy® and Golden Globe® winning franchise is from Twentieth Century Fox Television.

So this the hook huh?

Even the channel guide reveals nothing.

 

[kendrid]

Thanks for the heads up. Just set the DVR.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Freak Show lost me so I didn't even watch Hotel but this secrecy stuff has me curious so I might stick it on in the background tbh...

 

[BkMogul]

I think this is one of the most unique marketing techniques in a long time. Only watched an episode or two over the years it's been on, but I'll be tuning in tonight.

 

[Bronx-Man]

We've reached that point in a series' lifespan where Ryan Murphy becomes desperate as hell.

 

[SunDimension24]

Hope this season is OK. Hotel had some good moments that make me feel that this show can still do some things well. It could be a static screen for the whole season and would still be better than freak show though.

 

[Sou Da]

What if I told you that theme of this season were the friends you made along the way?

 

[BoboBrazil]

How did season 5 turn out? I tried watching the first 6 episodes of it and it didn't do anything for me, so I stopped watching.

 

[B-Dex]

It's a new season of Glee in disguise.

 

[smokeymicpot]

It's a new season of Glee in disguise.

Same thing.

 

[xaosslug]

i'm so tired of giving this show the benefit of the doubt, tbh.

lol, good luck. >_>

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I watched all of the teasers and there is a lot of rural America imagery - cornfields, crops, pitchforks and other farm tools, etc. Also there are quite a few bugs in several of them.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

inb4 it is actually an elaborate hoax for the new gaga music video, which will last only 4 minutes and will be repeated to fill the 1hr slot

The Perfect Illusion.

 

[Meowster]

I thought Hotel was a step up from Freakshow, so I'm excited to see how this season fares.

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Omg thought I wouldn't find this thread before it starts. I'm in it! Tried to look at the tv guide for info but nothing just "Chapter 1" please be good.

 

[WordAssassin]

One thing is for sure from those teasers, I would fucking LOVE for them to make a 50's/60's B-Movie season like that chick getting dragged into the lake by the creature. Holy shit that would just make my day.

This'll be up on Hulu tomorrow right? Gonna kill me not being able to watch it with GAF, especially since the theme is such a huge surprise. I bet when I log on to wherever it's streaming it'll be spoiled for me immediately by the thumbnail or something like Daredevil's costume was on the Netflix page ;___;

Edit: Wait what the hell Hulu only has Season 1-4? Is it gonna be streaming online anywhere!?!

 

[BlackGhost]

Lol nice thread title Ratsky

 

[Neuromancer]

Please be like S1 or 2. Is that too much to ask?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Do we know when S5 gets on Netflix?

 

[jwk94]

Wow, I'm. Surprised they released this without giving any info.

 

[Sou Da]

The theme is Mercedes

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Omg wut paranormal activity theme?

Edit: Found footage theme?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Roanoke?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Damn, was hoping for the Mist!

 

[greycolumbus]

welp Ronoake confirmed I guess.

 

[Sou Da]

Is the theme television?

 

[PaulKersey]

Not liking this concept so far.

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Is the theme television?

Documentary theme?

 

[Archpath1]

Maybe its an anthology like tales of the crypt or VHS

 

[BlackGhost]

Hey it's cuba
Edit: I think?

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Why is this a dramatic reenactment

 

[Toa TAK]

Cuba in here.

 

[Skatterd]

Maybe its an anthology like tales of the crypt or VHS

My first thought

 

[EstoyBlackWaldo]

Based off of this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke_Colony

I like the VHS idea tbh.

 

[Hypemaster]

Jr?

 

[greycolumbus]

Why is this a dramatic reenactment

i guess this season is a faux-documentary

Seems a bit less corny than previous seasons so far but who knows. Most of the seasons start off strong then shit the bed.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Ha, thats very cool. Haven't watched the show in a bit but doing a mystery season is great!!!

 

[Toa TAK]

Mystery Season is why I'm here.

 

[Hypemaster]

Mystery Season is why I'm here.

It's why we are all here.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So which was the teaser trailer that was correct then?

 

[Toa TAK]

It's why we are all here.

But what about the hardcore fans?!

 

[BlackGhost]

So which was the teaser trailer that was correct then?

They had trick teasers ?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

They had trick teasers ?

Yes, like a million of them!

Spoiler

26

 

[greycolumbus]

Kinda feel like American Crime Story influenced this season quite a bit.

 

[Spectromixer]

Spoiler

Seems interesting and unique so far, I can dig it

 

[Lee Chaolan]

There's the Mist!

So I was partially right!

Spoiler

/s

 

[greycolumbus]

All the teasers are going to be correct, aren't they?

 

[Skatterd]

I read the rules of that contest and it was worded "guess the teaser that most reflects the premiere episode"

I really think this is an anthology and every teaser was accurate.
