Earlier this month, we brought you the news that as far as American Horror Story‘s S6 theme goes, the producers are just plain fucking with you.
We thought we’d cracked the theme after TMZ published on-set pics of a potential Roanoke set (a.k.a. the 1600s American colony where 118 people mysteriously disappeared overnight), but noooo, co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk later announced that they were throwing out red herring teasers to purposefully keep the theme a mystery. For “fun”.
Now AHS has decided to straight-up make a game of it. They’ve released six new teasers – five of which are red herrings – and are asking people to vote for which one they think is the real deal. (Only those in the USA are eligible to win, go figure.)
You’ve got…
POST OP (i.e. the staple gun)
LULLABY (i.e. the demon baby)
WIND CHIME (i.e. teething issues)
CAMP SIGHT (i.e. back ache)
and BLIND DATE (i.e. retro scream).
(Did anyone else get Sims 1 post-Woo Hoo vibes from the clutched hands and harp chords?)
There’s also one more (THE SHADOW) which isn’t available on Instagram for us to embed, so if you wanna watch it you’ll have to here: https://www.ahs6sweeps.com/
Weirdly enough, there’s also several extra teasers on the AHS Instagram, some of them only uploaded in the last 24-hours. They’re not actually listed in the comp, so you can’t vote for them, so maybe that means they’re not red herrings at all. Or…. are they?
Guess we’ll find out when AHS drops on September 14.
