American Horror Story: Classic Horror ?

American Horror Story Season 6
favim.com

"American Horror Story" has taken everyone on a wild ride these past few seasons. From 'Murder House' to 'Hotel', October has always been a highly anticipated month in regards to one of the most talked about shows. With just over a month left until the premiere on September 14th, "AHS" has still yet to release a theme about what this season will be about. With cryptic clues continuously being released, you would think that a theme would somehow be able to be pieced together by this point, but you would in fact be wrong. This upcoming season of "AHS" has been kept completely under wraps and there doesn't seem to be any budging on what the theme will be quite yet, but I do have some theories.

With the release of the most recent trailer for "AHS", it appears that a girl is being pulled down into a lake and struggling to fight off a creature. Sounds quite familiar, doesn't it? Of course! The clip looks vaguely reminiscent of the 1954 classic film "Creature from the Black Lagoon", which leads me to wonder...If this clip looks oddly similar to an old horror film, will the other teaser trailers be as well? The answer: yes!

Going back and looking at some of the older teaser trailers, I realized that there are some very obvious similarities and even conclusions that can be drawn about the clips in regards to what films they could be representing. From a centipede crawling down a woman's face--"The Human Centipede"--to the sound of chainsaws near an abandoned farm house--"Texas Chainsaw Massacre"--there is no doubt that all of the clips look eerily akin to very popular cult classics, thus making me wonder if the theme for season 6 of "American Horror Story" is in fact, classic horror.

Now, while this may seem like a far-fetched idea, you have you to admit that it's pretty ingenious. From every trailer that has been released, we see infamous scenes from old horror films in which the suspense was extreme and you were completely terrified to sleep after you finished watching the film! So why not base the whole season of a remarkably terrifying show off of the same things? To me, this seems like a brilliant marketing strategy as the classic horror genre is still quite popular today and would make for an interesting season of "AHS". They could cover all kinds of equally horrifying subjects with increasing amounts of gore and fright to satisfy all viewers as Halloween draws near. I mean, who doesn't love a good scare from time to time, especially one of classical origin.

Now, although this idea seems the most plausible given the evidence, there is also the rumor that only one trailer is real and the others are just here to misdirect the viewers. Whether this is true or not, the expectation that this season will mostly originate from the classic horror genre is still pretty high, as all of the teasers appear to be modernized versions of older films. Not only are glimpses of "The Human Centipede", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Creature from the Black Lagoon" are shown, but also what could possibly be "Children of the Corn" and even "Rosemary's Baby" as depicted by the figures approaching ominously out of the cornfield a demon baby reaching for a knife.

As evidence of the classic horror theme grows, new information keeps being acquired through various online sources. The most recent, a series of pictures posted by TMZ, sparks the possible idea that this season could be based around the Lost Colony, for the words 'Croatoan' are etched into a tree and the setting looks indicative of older times.

So what exactly is the theme of this season's "American Horror Story"? As far as all sources go, no one really knows. Will the theme be a mix of classical horror pieces or will it be about the Lost Colony? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
