Sarah Paulson confirms she isn't appearing this season, and admitted she was a little bored returning to AHS after doing the OJ series
[quote]After wrapping up with People v. O.J., she returned for the sixth season of Ryan Murphy's other FX series, American Horror Story, which she has now starred in for a total of eight seasons (she confirmed during the panel that she will not be making any appearances on the currently airing ninth season of the horror franchise AHS: 1984). But the dual role she played that season in AHS: Roanoke, she admitted, was not her favorite. "I said to Ryan, 'There’s pre-Marcia and there’s post-Marcia' and it was very hard for me, once I played a person that was that complicated and three-dimensional and fully realized, to then do something that was a little more on the surface. It made it harder to be excited about it

My guess is episode 6 will be about the ghosts at the camp fighting each other. I think it will be Xavier and Montana vs Ray, Trevor, and Chet. Since it's the 100th don't be surprised if it's tied to Murder House and Hotel.
The IMDB synopsis says the 7 episode is supposed about the history of the camp. There will likely be some kind of supernatural or occult events that occurred before the 1970 masscare and probably the reason why people stay as ghosts if they die there.
The following episodes will be Brooke in a mental hospital or prison, Donna is somewhere out there trying to figure out the Ramirez, Jingles, and Margaret shit. Margaret goes on a media tour about "surviving two massacres". I think Jingles or Margaret's victims try to plan some kind of revenge.

Montana and Xavier enjoying being dead and murdering whoever sets foot in Camp Redwood is a ripoff of Hotel when Sally and Will Drake did the same exact thing and that in turn is a ripoff of Hayden's actions after realizing she was dead in Murder House.

Good question, r58. So far, posters here and journalists have predicted everything. The harder they try to shock, the more boring it gets.
But my question from Thread #2 remains: What will finally make all these invincible ghosts fuck off?
They can't seem to stand each other, and the movie has us rooting for Margaret to fail. But how will she be vanquished?
A good horror show would have started on the mystery of how to banish the spirits by now. Maybe that's what the next 5 episodes will work on. Usually, there's a guru with a magic spell to make it all go away.
What will make it all go away? Will they realize their attempts to kill each others' spirits won't work, so they strike a ghost peace? Will they be left torturing each other with cartoon violence, like a Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon forever?
MY GUESS: Everyone has an evil past. So once their biggest sins are all revealed, one of them, probably Roberts, will apologize, make amends and forgive Margaret and Montana.
Being decent and forgiving for a change will earn God's forgiveness and Emma will get to go to heaven, while the others are stuck cartoonishly torturing each other in purgatory. Maybe Margaret earns a place in hell, or the others find a way to send her there.
But the twist will be that one of these assholes finally has a conscience.
Maybe it's not really purgatory and most are either ghosts or demonic resurrections. Maybe getting revenge and killing Margaret will finally set them all free to go to the afterlife while Margaret is dammed to hell, in contrast to her devout, Christian certainty.
Margaret frying in hell despite her faith would be campy as fuck and hilarious in the right hands.

I caught them dropping that Gus' character is likely gay and closeted. I wonder if he'll be back in the second half of the series since he died on the lake trying to get to the other camp which may or may not be part of the camp grounds.
Looks like Ray might be a "good" ghost. During the promo he was telling them not to kill everyone that came to the camp. Hotel, at least, established that ghosts usually start killing out of boredom. Of course, if the whole land is messed up, then it's weird that they'd keep killing people since they'd just return to haunt since they'd be stuck.
[quote]It's possible that Margaret could be vanquished if she gets killed outside of Camp Redwood or an area where people don't return as a ghosts.
Like Donovan in Hotel, who asked to die outside of the hotel so he wouldn't get stuck. Then later we discovered he was in "heaven." Or the girl from the first season who didn't make it back to the Murder House before her death. That's totally possible. I wouldn't be shocked if Rita was the one to do it or even Jingles who said she was his last kill.
Part of my mind wonders if they'd go full tilt back into their own mythology and bring in a witch or a psychic. They've already shown that you can banish ghosts even as a human although it doesn't always work. They also mentioned that ghosts can be freed if they resolve whatever issues they had in life but I doubt that could happen here.

R91 Probably. They'll probably either tie 1984 to a previous season either with Murder House or Hotel Cortez connection through the ghosts.
The episode description on IMDB is
"With the horrors of the night behind them the survivors deal with the fallout of their choices."
I can see some scenario where "victim" Margaret ends up getting sued by some of the victims' families for not doing good hiring processes because she hired "psycho Brooke". Maybe, she loses all her money. Were those kinds of lawsuits even common in the 80s?
Or Margaret somehow ends up feeling guilty for the crime she committed and then Ramirez and Jingles track her down.
Donna is off hiding somewhere and feeling guilty over what she has done. She saw Ramirez being resurrected, but at this point she doesn't know about Jingles resurrection. I see her spying on Margaret and trying to figure out a way to take her out.
Brooke will be in jail or the mental hospital. She'll try to tell everyone that Jingles killed the other people and Montana was her only kill in self defense.

It was poor acting, poor writing and 100% shock value.
There’s a reason the following seasons toned down the violence and nudity.

Hotel was also a classic ghost story.
They took a creepy hotel like "The Cortez," and build a season around it. And the story made sense, unlike so many other seasons.

Gabourey Sidibe once said that being in scenes with Kathy Bates made her try and work harder to elevate her performance in Coven.
My problem with Hotel was that Gaga was outclassed by most of the cast members. If she wasn't just standing there and posing and had to speak she was laughable at times. Her scenes with Angela Bassett were ridiculous & I was surprised she didn't tear her head off and eat her on the set.
As for this season, I'm not the biggest Cody Fern fan, but I noticed the man really is acting his ass off within the confines of the character's world. During one particular scene when he was angry he spontaneously started crying actual tears no matter how campy what he was saying sounded like. This character really was upset.

I don’t get the hate for Gaga in Hotel tbh. I thought she was awful in season 6 and in A Star Is Born. In Hotel she was basically just playing herself, or rather the act she’s been doing since 2009, and it worked. She was fun. Aside from Lange and Bates and Basset (all of whom were already Oscar winners before even joining AHS), AHS isn’t really well known for acting. Nor is it supposed to be. Since Season One it’s marketed itself based on camp, gore, and nudity. The problem is that you guys are looking for oranges in an apple orchard and getting pissed that you’re only finding apples. If you want auteur TV, maybe don’t start with Ryan Murphy.

The show was known for actually being a horror series AND its acting in the first couple of seasons.
It didn't go proper camp until Coven and then it went full on camp with Freakshow and stayed that way thereafter.
Season one reflected on the aftermath of a school shooting. Every cast member in Season 2 played the hell out of their roles from Lily Rabe to Zachary Quinto. Lana Winters being repeatedly raped and tortured (partially because of gay conversion) was not played for laughs in the least. It required someone who could actually act.
They don't do those kinds of "stories" anymore and they sure as hell didn't in Hotel.

R134 Fern is the highlight of the season for me. He hasn't done an ounce of promotion for 1984, which leads me to believe he's very dissatisfied with the filming experience this season.

This is a fictional show that builds its own world but R172 and R173 are partially both right. He did make up a mythology for ghosts but then he has gone back on some things. However, you're never too sure if it's "bad writing" or the characters were previously wrong.
One character told us that ghosts can't hurt people unless it's Halloween. However, we learned they totally can. There was the whole "Croatoan" thing where the word could be used to banish ghosts and that ghosts could be told to "go away" and it would work. However, they went back on both those things. We're told ghosts are stuck in certain spots forever but the maid from Murder House eventually was able to free herself. Heck, even their whole concept of Heaven and Hell is a bit confusing. Madison dies and she says there's nothing on the other side. (The second time she dies she clearly goes to hell.) However, Donovan from Coven gets to go to Heaven even though he killed people. He confirms he's living in his favorite day ever for all eternity. Elsa also got to go to heaven. So what made Madison worse than either of them both times?
R167, that ties in with what the media reports from someone at FX said months ago: they didn't have money to bring the old names back.
R169, I saw the new on set pictures leaked from the show and now I have no clue what's going on but Dylan was in them with Emma and Angela. However, they're almost done with the series.

AHS treats ghosts, like so many other things (magic, demons) as warpings of reality. The ghost isn't just a static image unable to interact with anything but the fringes of your senses, but is instead able to be *up to* as impactful on your physical environment as anything else. The ghosts are still 'just' reflections of your living spirit, but they're very very convincing ones and are effectively entities themselves, even if arguably not people anymore.
The ghost treatment changes regularly though. The murder house worked different from the coven (witches can free and trap spirits), worked different from the hellish hotel, worked different from the magically enslaved folk in roanoke, and so on.
In this case, they're playing up a purgatory theme, so perhaps we'll see that if ghosts in a death tainted land work for it, maybe some can be redeemed without exceptional outside help (mediums, witches). Canonically, maybe it didn't happen in the murder house because generally the ghosts ended up either preferring staying there (in some weird communion) or assumed they were trapped, and it didn't happen in the hotel cortez because that place is an even more overt hellmouth that draws all into its depravity. Camp Redwood might have an element of redemption above all of its slashery gore. We might find that a majority of victims there were brought to better afterlife, while others have either been chained down or have to work it off.
Or whatever, its all a Madison movie set and she's just making movies and working off of her magical knowledge to make it more 'authentic'. Ok.

If Trevor and Chet come back as ghosts, I think one of them will be a good ghost like Ray.

Why the hell is he waiting another year to release Boys in the Band? It finished shooting months ago. Is anybody even going to care about it a year from now?
I saw where Kerry Washington just joined the cast of The Prom. The cast for that musical is insane. He better deliver with that cast.
I agree that next season of AHS should be the last. It's been a chore to get through the whole season ever since Hotel. When you're down to Emma Roberts, Billie Lord and Gus Kenworthy, it's time to pull the plug.

I’m always having to explain to people that I call myself a huge AHS fan, but that doesn’t mean I think the show is any good. It’s fun, and perpetually off-the-rails, and there are some fierce characters and some eye candy and that’s all I expect from it. Thinking any harder about this show is a waste of energy.
I’m dying to know why Cody Fern has been so quiet about this season. If he’s disappointed that his character is so shallow, compared to those he’s done before... that just signals to me that his expectations were waaaay off.

It's literally part of their job to promote the show. Interviews, press junkets, social media - in many cases they are contractually obligated to do all of it. At the very least, his complete radio silence is odd, especially if you compare it to last season when he was posting at least once a week. He's made his disdain for his HOC experience widely known and did the very same thing by never once discussing the show or promoting it on social media.
Nobody - not one person - has commented that Fern hasn't been posting 24/7. What's been said - and it's 100% accurate - is that he hasn't posted at all, not once, not even a stupid BTS shot. It's totally suggests he's unhappy with the season or with his role.

He’s got no redeeming qualities besides not openly being an asshole (although how openly and ruthlessly he trashed Spacey during that interview about his HOC season begs to differ).
The stans can keep trying to convince me he’s the new It boy, but the fact that he doesn’t get jobs outside Murphy and his afterthought role on the worst and final season of House Of Cards speaks louder than them.

Fern's role on HOC was far more significant before the Spacey accusations surfaced and the entire season had to be re-written. I'd like to praise Fern for his refusal to kiss the ass of sexual predators, but his hatred of Spacey has more to do with his HOC character being ruined than anything else.
I like Fern. I don't think he's going to be nominated for an Oscar anytime soon, but he's talented. I'd like to see him do more than cry on cue, though. That seems to be his go-to reaction in any scene that involves conflict.

Margaret wears the Brigitte Bardot beehive in both 1985 (when visiting Trevor in the hospital) and in 1989, but the look was completely dead in the 1980s--it wasn't revived as a chic look until Ivana Trump adopted it in 1990.

R267, Yup. Billie's dad is his agent. Matt Bomer's husband is his longtime PR rep. Emma talks about knowing Murphy since she was a little kid and of course he worked with Julia. He has always played favorites.

R313 That possibility was discussed in another thread here and I agree, with the exception that Cody was always going to play Xavier, Adina Porter was going to play Rita, and Peters was going to play Trevor.
Murphy's wide-eyed "I just don't understand it!" comments about Peters never getting the credit he deserved for Cult (or ever) kills me. Bitch, Adina Porter got an Emmy nomination for Cult. That out of nowhere nod took an insane amount of campaigning on behalf of the show. Peters never gets the nominations despite carrying certain seasons because they never properly campaign for him. Listening to him go on and on AND ON about GaGa, Emma Roberts, Leslie Grossman and Billie Lourd and brushing aside Dennis O'Hare, Frances Conroy, Bassett, and pretty much anybody that isn't part of his personal inner circle was nauseating.
I agree with the poster who said this season is a convoluted mess. There's no character development and no coherent plot. Even the slasher films this season is sending up had more cohesive plots.

I’m still pissed that Ryan hired nothing but pretty people who can’t act and yet the only one who’s been naked so far is Matthew Morrison (who is admittedly the most talented and closest to a real actor of the pack). A waste of Gus’ true talents, and I know for a fact it’s Murphy, because there’s no way that all these unknowns and a lovable exhibitionist like Kenworthy would’ve ALL had a problem with nudity. God, this show isn’t even fun to hate watch anymore. I never cared about the plot, I just want fun and eye candy. So far there’s no eye candy and it’s incredibly boring.

AHS is NOT a parody, r336.
Parodies have jokes. Parodies make you laugh out loud. Parodies mock the originals and extrapolate jokes from them, not just copy them. Sure, this show is campy, with its over-the-top, Mommie Dearest-style / drag queen violence and showboating.
Yes, they think they're funny when they play upbeat pop tunes over gruesome violence. But there are no jokes here or mockery and I don't laugh.
AHS just copies slasher tropes and settings, queens out and contrives twists for the sake of contriving twists. It's lazy and cheap.
DON"T EVEN compare AHS to Young Frankenstein or Scary Movie.

It's bee speculated from the day the cast announcement trailer dropped that this was either a movie or a dream. All the Reditters insisted that the trailer was just a screen test even though it was blatantly obvious all the actors were in character. The song used in the trailer was I Can Dream About You, FFS. Even Ryan Murphy said in that EW article last week that the entire season's dialogue and plot was supposed to come off like an 80's slasher movie. The opening credits and teasers always give hints about the plot. Last year one of the teasers showed someone turning an hourglass upside down, revealing the reversal of time. The opening credits this season consistently features an arcade game. The license plate on the van they drove was VANTACY. Of course it's going to end up a dream or hallucination or movie.

If Murphy pulls an "It's all a dream," it's time to Punch and Delete. You are officially a hopeless, basic bitch and a waste of life with no taste if you keep supporting that kind of phony fuckery for the sake of fuckery.
Hasn't this show cheapened itself enough already? Hasn't making every murder victim invincible ALREADY rendered everything meaningless, false and not the slightest bit scary?
Where is the suspense? Doesn't life have consequences? What are we waiting for? Why are we still watching? Just to have the last, cheap twist they're hoarding revealed?
"Oh, it was all a dream." "Oh, it was purgatory. This will go on forever." "Oh, the ghosts just had to kill Margaret before they could go to the afterlife."
What's the moral of the story? Not to brutally murder, because you'll be murdered in return? Oh. I had no idea.

R44 This is exactly why I hate this season. If that had been anybody else who beat up their boyfriend, they wouldn't have a career. Not to mention, she's a legendary twat on sets. I don't know how much longer she's going to be allowed to coast. If you notice, she rarely if ever does press for anything, probably because they want to avoid her being asked about the abuse.

This episode was the funniest and weirdest. It was mostly the characters picking apart the stupidity of their script. When Jingles said “wait, so you’re all ghosts?” I burst out laughing.
Gus looked really hot in this episode.
The one thing that bugs me is that they all want to be freed. It’s boring. I miss interesting concepts like in Murder House when the ghosts enjoyed being ghosts and wanted to stay trapped by the house. This is just standard supernatural bullshit.

They paint-by-numbers in the outlines of other shows, r434.
Then they contrive twists for the sake of twists every once in a while.
Jingles' mom / Lily Rabe is the beginning of our "horror guru" cliché who's going to tell us how to end it all. So far, she says Jingles can't die by his own hand to escape the Satanic bargain.

So Lily Rabe was giving Ghost Jingles advice on how to finally "kill" his ghost, which is to let Ramirez kill him and drag him to hell?

So now Lily Rabe is essentially playing Nora Montgomery all over again as the Woman in White. A ghostly mother forever haunted by the tragic death of her son. Ryan Murphy keeps recycling the same ideas over and over again.

I'm just messing with you Dex.
She really classed up the show and as R425 said it's a (I'll add sad) reminder of what this show can be like when he actually casts good actors.
Ryan Murphy can write whatever he wants but when Angela, Lily, Kathy and Jessica are reading the lines they somehow make it believable enough and their performances are good enough so that it just elevates everything. Hell even Wes Bentley, Frances and Dylan do what they have to do and the fact that they've been acting for decades always shows.
I'm more than sure for S10 they'll grab a name actor from his group of actors to lead it and hopefully also remember how much praise Angelia Ross got this season.

[R405] One of the biggest shockers in the 80s was the "It was a dream" Dallas episode and then others copied it. So, again, if this season is supposed to be as intentionally ridiculous as all those 80s movies/tv shows, then yeah, the dream explanation still makes sense. I don't think this season is supposed to be taken seriously at all.

What is Dylan McDermott’s motivation?
Is he just another serial killer, as the cop would suggest? Is he the Zodiac killer?
Or is he an agent of Margaret’s, Montana’s or Satan’s connected to the plot?
Why did he attack Thelma and Louise?

I think it was just a random guest appearance. Murphy does that in all his shows. He has writers insert superfluous characters into the story to give his favorites work.

I forgot to mention another show that Ryan Murphy's team is imitating.
SUMMER OF '84 made a big splash at the Sundance Film Festival over a year before AHS: 1984.
It, too, was just a knockoff of STRANGER THINGS and IT, coming after those shows hit so big. But it just goes to show you that Ryan Murphy, et al are just hopping on a tired bandwagon and there's no originality at AHS.
I do recommend you watch SUMMER OF '84. It's a solid, little thriller that could actually happen.

R70
That's hardly a win. The article explains that the first run ratings of the Oct 16 episode of AHS tripled over the course of a week. What that indicates is that people didn't watch the original episode. Most show's ratings increase after the original air date. For AHS' ratings to triple over that following week means nobody tuned in when the episode originally aired.

This is such an overwrought cartoon. The producers think it's cute but it's completely charmless and false to life. And not the least bit horrific. It doesn't even feel nostalgic or real. It's just namedropping people, places and events. Blech.
