The creator's of American Horror Story thought it would be fun to change it up this season. Instead of knowing the central theme of Season 6 from the start, viewers have been put on a little sleuthing mission to find out what this season will be about. Alas, September 14, we found out what this season is about and some of us are still quite unsure what it is even about. Colonial garb? Pig heads? North Carolina? What could it be? After some researching, I've uncovered the truth and history of American Horror Story: Season 6.
In 1587, a group of colonists set sail to the "New World" in hopes of riches and other fantastic discoveries. Obviously, during that time, there were limited ways to communicate with family members and other colonies. The one who was behind this brilliant plan to colonize The Chesapeake Bay was Queen Elizabeth I. Of course, she had her right-hand man, Sir Walter Raleigh to organize the whole trip. Raleigh originally had over 100 colonists in the group to go and establish a colony on The Chesapeake Bay. But after a few months, Raleigh and his friend John White went to go and check up on the colony. When they arrived at their settlement, they found nothing of the colony except their bones which then gave the Roanoke Colony their infamous name "Tha Lost Colony."
Many theories have been thrown around starting from the colony being killed by Native Americans to the colony even being abducted by aliens.
So number one question is this: Why "The Lost Colony?" American Horror Story has played with a number of topics; witchcraft, haunted houses and hotels, serial killers, and even creepy clowns, so why not change it up a bit? The creators of American Horror Story are known for making the show creepy, sexual, and overall intriguing. Each season has an element that is unique and connects with our reality. However, don't be fooled. AHS will make "The Lost Colony" supernatural in some way.
Season 6 is by far one of the most anticipated seasons due to the fact that the creators have left us guessing left and right what the storyline is. The title of season 6 is "American Horror Story:Roanoke." If you're a history nerd like me, you will definitely enjoy this season and all it has to offer.
Sit back, enjoy and make sure to watch American Horror Story on FX each Wednesday at 10PM.
