It’s probably time to revisit those Scream rules for surviving a slasher movie.

Ryan Murphy revealed this morning that season 9 of American Horror Story will be called 1984 and appears to be an homage to the slasher movies of that era, like Friday the 13th.

Murphy posted the first teaser for AHS: 1984 to his Instagram, which features an anonymous girl being stalked in the woods by a gigantic masked killer with an even bigger knife.

So far, only series alum Emma Roberts and Olympian Gus Kenworthy have been announced as cast members (the pair will play a couple presumably under attack from this killer with gross hair). Evan Peters recently revealed that he won’t be back for this particular season.

I wonder if the slasher can surpass the twisted gullyness of Twisty The Clown, Bloodyface and The Axeman?

 

[BlackAchilles]

The slasher genre is reactionary and the killers are frequently underwhelming

 

[Jello Biafra]

I want to be more optimistic about this because I love the slasher genre and have enjoyed AHS more often than I have disliked it.

But the slasher genre just hasn't worked in episodic TV form. Go back and look at any of the previous attempts and they have all been either mediocre or just absolute trash. From Harper's Island to Scream to Slasher and everything in between...all of these projects have ended up being flops.

Murder House
Asylum
Coven

Cult was good to me. Didn't catch Apocalypse yet. If y'all co-sign on that one I'll check the new season out when it drops

AHS has been dogshyt for a grip now. fukk that show.

Last season was an abomination. It started of well and like always went to complete shyt. That 2nd half with the witches vs. the Illuminati. C'mon breh.

The real news in all of this is that Evan Peters is not showing up for the first time in a season him and Sarah Paulson were the main O.G.s of all this fukkery

I love AHS but idk why they would make a slasher season as if we dont already have, "slasher" the show

I mean just by looking at the first teaser. It looks like slasher season 2 with the teens driving around drunk all happy n shyt, and theres a camp involved..... Do something different
