Will it be a Charles Manson-esque cult? An isolated house full of murderous hillbillies like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Will there be a demented antichrist child? Will there be an appearance from the enigmatic Slender Man? Or more like Village of The Damned or Children of The Corn?
These are our strongest theories about the upcoming sixth season of American Horror Story, which returns to FX on September 14, but we still have so many unanswered questions. The promotional videos and teasers are all creepy and as unsettling as ever, but the theme isn't crystal clear. Fans on Reddit have guessed that this season will hint at, and overlap with season one's Mansion House, based on the image of the farmhouse on the hill is where most of the action will take place. Above the house is a plume of smoke spelling out 6 which has been a teaser for the season.
The confirmed cast members include familiar faces to the Ryan Murphy lineup: Lady Gaga, Denis O’Hare, Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Angela Bassett, and Evan Peters.
So, let's get into all those teasers.
Sunset Stroll — The family walking towards the camera looks either possessed or like aliens. Though maybe it's a bit of that Children Of The Corn effect?
What's Cooking? — Gives us a long glance at the house where the evil resides. We hear a chainsaw, a scream, and see clouds of smoke. Perhaps we have a cannibalistic residence on ours hands?
Descent — A terrified woman running from zombie-like hands grabbing at her ankles. Yep, looks like classic AHS to me. Perhaps this is the basement of the house, and a little shop of horrors at that.
Post Op — Our first bit of dialogue! We hear a British-sounding man telling a deformed individual to "try to keep it dry" as he staples his scalp back together. Bleck.
Milli Crossing — Is this Gaga? Are we cooking with bugs now too? Or is this a nod to The Human Centipede?
Lullaby — This clip basically confirms that there is a creepy baby. Look at that hand!
One Reddit user also pointed out that the mobile spells out "Pig" which could refer to the "Piggy Piggy" episode in season 1.
What do you guys think the theme is? Let us know below.
