Hey. It's been awhile 😉

Do we have any hints about Season 13 so far ?

I've heard Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters were hinted to return and that's great.

Hopefully we will get more infos next Spring (for a release date around Summer / Autumn 2025).

They created the best slasher since the days of Jason, Michael Myersz and Freddy. But they ruined him by giving him a back story. They should have just had someone "kill" him (the way slashers get killed and come back) and he could have come back any season. Let alone, they could have launched a series of movies about Twisty. Not since Michael Myers did a slasher capture my imagination as much as that filthy grimy BAD clown known as Twisty.

Thoughts? Wasted potential? Or you think he ran his course and there were no more stories to tell? I'm biased because I love slashers. Reminds me of being little renting movies from the library and us failing to mention the fact that we rented an R rated gore fest.

Just had the dumbest idea. What if one season RM did one in a Sitcom universe. Like imagine if he got everyone from Full House (I know not everyone can or will do it, but just stay with me here) and put them into the AHS universe. Like Kimmy Gibbler running away from the Rubber Man.. iconic

She's just always been amazing whenever she does anything. I remember in the coven season I was devastated when her eyes were injured but she thrives so strongly now !

I recently rewatched Hotel, and in the last episode "Be Our Guest" the ghosts have a meeting because they keep killing the guests post-remodel. James March chimes in about how the hotel almost qualifies to be a historical landmark, but it needs one more thing: age. The Hotel Cortez will qualify to be a historical site in /2026/. To clarify we have a time jump to 2022 at the end of the season, but that's as far as we have seen I believe. (Please remind me if we've come back to the hotel, and what time period it was set because I feel it's been referenced again.)

Being that it is nearing the end of 2024, and the final 13th season has been confirmed. With writing, filming, and editing, it could come out around 2026 maybe?

Hotel is probably my personal favorite season, and it carries many run through storylines! If we do return to the Cortez again, what would you want to see as a viewer from any of the connecting stories? I will take any more James March I can get!

I’m new to AHS and have been binging. I’m HATING this season… but I love Easter eggs from season to season. Do I have to watch Freak Show for future seasons? If not, I’m checking out!

These were my 5th and 6th nail portraits and I'm so happy I finally finished it 🥺 I don't do my thumbs because I can't seem to ever get a good photo of them 😭 should I do anymore characters from AHS? If so, who 🫣

Which season, retaining all its core elements minus direction, do you think would benefit the most by being run by Mike Flanagan?

It’s so good I can’t turn away but I literally wish I could scrap it from my brain and rewatch it. NOTHING EVER BEAT MY FIRST TIME WATCHING THAT GODDAMN PIGGY PIGGY EPISODE!!!! I couldn’t sleep or shower or be alone for like weeks. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk haven’t had me like that in the newer seasons its pissing me off. American horror stories at the start got me feeling like that a bit. Sometimes I just wanna be spooked by their writing again😞

Well, this is exactly what it looks like, so yeah, this is my idea for a season (It's short, only 8 episodes, but based on how dragged out NYC and Delicate felt, it might be for the best):

Ep. 1: Changes

Iris, the main character, wakes up one morning and goes to take a shower. When reaching for the knob, she sees a small rash-like spot on her left arm (the biceps area), but doesn't give it too much thought. She showers, brushes her teeth, goes to have breakfast with her family (Theressa, her mother; Connan, he father and Laia, her younger sister) and then leaves for school, where she chats with her friends (Erika, John, Clancy and Gia). At some point one of them mentions something about an unidentified allergen that's causing more problems than usually.

Iris comes back home, goes to sleep and has a batshit crazy dream about being a witch and killing satan (yes, this IS relevant to the plot, you'll see later). She wakes up and does the same thing as the day before, but this time the rash is just slightly more noticeable.

This episode works as an introduction to the characters, so the plot isn't really all that big in it.

Ep 2: It'll Go Away

The episode begins the same way the last one did, but now the rash is clearly bigger, taking up almost half of her arm. Iris talks with her father (who's a doctor) and he says something like "get it checked, just in case". She goes to school, shows it to her friends, and Erika says "Don't worry Iris, it'll go away".

After school, she visits her father's clinic and he takes her to the allergist, Francis, who says that it does look like an allergy, but there's something weird about it. Just to be sure, he requires Liana, the nurse, to take a blood sample from Iris, and tells her it'll take about 2 weeks to arrive.

Iris goes back home, sleeps, has a dream where she's riding a unicorn, then the episode ends.

Ep. 3: Growing Pains

Iris wakes up in the same fashion as every episode prior, but this time it is notable that the rash has taken part of her shoulder as well. She wears high coverage clothes. When she goes to the kitchen, her mother's reading the blood test results (which implies this episode is happening 2 weeks after the previous one) and explains that the results look absolutely correct, nothing out of the ordinary. Her father comes in the room and reads it as well, but opposite to Iris' mother, he looks very confused. Iris asks what's wrong, and he says "Nothing. That's what's wrong. There's nothing out of the ordinary here. Doesn't even look like it's an allergy". Confused, Iris just brushes it off and goes to school.

The whole time in school, Gia is going on about something smelling bad, but can't point out what it is, until during gym class Iris takes her jacket off, and Gia says "girl wtf, you smeel bad, I don't mean to offend you, but take a shower!". Iris, not liking Gia's comment, leaves school early and goes home to sleep through the evening.

She wakes up late at night, feeling something that smells wrong, and goes to the bathroom. As she is showering, she touches the rash area, and feels something weird. When looking in the mirror, Iris sees a whole portion of her arm skin is peeling off. She goes to sleep concerned.

Ep. 4: Bodyweight

Iris wakes up, and when leaving the bed, she finds portions of her skin in it, like it fell overnight. She goes to the mirror and sees how part of the rash now looks more like a fleshy protuberance, because not only the skin fell, but the flesh actually seems swollen. She leaves her room even more covered up than last time, but when having breakfast, her sister tells her something about smelling horrid, and that she should wash her body correctly.

In school, only Erika and Clancy hang out with her, since everyone else avoids the smell she emanates. Iris tells everything about the weird disease to them, but only Erika seems to care.

After school, she goes back to the clinic, and now Francis looks genuinelly concerned. He doesn't understand what is happening to Iris, but doesn't tell her. Instead, he prompts her to do a more intricate exams.

Ep. 5: Mind Maze

Iris wakes up and sees a fly on the ceiling. She looks at herself in the mirror and is horrified by the fact that not only do the wounds seem to have lost more skin and the rash taken even parts of her torso and neck, but there's actually a few maggots on the swollen area, which she takes out as fast as possible.

When having breakfast, not even her mother, who's been pretty oblivious to everything, can avoid mentioning the smell coming out of Iris, and she tells her parents that she's not going to attend school until it all heals.

They take her to the doctor, and Francis is very grossed out by everything, so much so that he asks her to leave and bring her father into the room. Once they're alone, francis tells Connor that there isn't anything he can do, because Iris problem is not a disease known. The symptoms are extremely weird, and the weirdest part is that she feels no pain at all from all of it.

Iris goes back home and directly to her room, where she falls asleep and has a dream where she just goes to school looking completely normal, fully opposing the first 2 dreams she had on the season, which were way more unrealistic and complex.

Ep. 6: Tempus Fugit

(this episode takes place a month after the last one)

Iris wakes up, her whole body now swollen, full of scabs, open wounds and visible flesh, and what's even worst, flies all around, and maggots everywhere in her upper half.

Theressa comes in with breakfast and feeds her, which makes it obvious that Iris has basically lost control of her body at this point, only being able to speak, but not move.

Cut to the clinic, where Francis tells Connor that "the only possible answer is that this is a genetical mutation, and her body was always supposed to go through it, which would explain why she feels no pain or discomfort at all: her nerves where prepared for this".

The episode ends with Iris screaming at Theressa, who's been acting like everything was normal and actually planning vacations for the four of them. "Get over it, mom! accept it, I'm dying, my body is going to waste, and you ignoring it won't make anything better. Enjoy the last moments you have with me! Don't make yourself regret ignoring me later on!".

Ep. 7: Fly Away

Iris wakes up. Her body is fully healed. There's no flies, no maggots, no wounds, no scabs, no rash, nothing. The episode plays out very similar to Ep. 1: Iris showers, has breakfast with her family, goes to school, enjoys the time with her friends, goes back home, and has dinner. At some point, she mentions the disease going away, and Laia says "what disease?". Iris lifts her arm up and says "the rash thing, it's gone!" and that's when she sees her hand for the first time since she woke up. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 fingers, and counting. Then, an eye opens. Her eye. It was all a dream. The episode ends.

Ep. 8: Meatfest

Starting in the same eye shot the last one ended with, the camera zooms out to show what used to be Iris' body: a mass of meat where body parts are barely distinguishable, riddled with insects and completely unresponsive except for her constantly moving eyes.

The rest of the episode shows her fathers, her sister and Erika mourning what's left of Iris, all wearing masks to avoid the putrid smell in the room.

The episode ends with Erika seating by the bed, remembering a story from when they were children. As the season comes to a close, a tear falls down Erika's cheek as she says "Don't worry Iris, it'll go away". Then, the screen goes to black.

The End

I know it's not regarded as one of the better seasons because it didn't feature any supernatural elements, but I found it so much more interesting for that reason. It was horror rooted in reality, centered on current events. I honestly consider it to be one of the most intelligent seasons for that reason, plus, needless to say, the season has aged incredibly well. How would you feel about a follow-up to Cult based on current events?

Anyone else have 1984 in the top 5?

I finished watching the last 3 episodes this evening. Just wanted to know, is Constance and Larry (who I presume is still in jail for falsely confessing for killing Travis) the only ones that are technically still alive and can go out in the real world? (main characters specifically)

In that last episode with the Ramos' family moving in and shortly leaving in that same night they came, will the Harmon family (Ben, Vivian, Violet) keep continuing this pattern for every family that keeps moving in?

Also in that very last scene where one of the twins kills that Nanny, was this the twin that belonged to Tate (his biological father after he raped Vivien) and the other one that Nora gave to Vivien belonging to Ben? I got a bit confused as to which twin is who's father.

I just binged all 12 seasons and I must say, Jessica Lange is an absolute GODDESS and deserves a million Oscars and global nominations for her roles in AHS. Firstly she is a STUNNING woman, but her acting is true ART. I have never seen a more profound performance from a woman in my life. Like some of the emotions on her face throughout the season had me in TEARS. I don't wanna give any spoilers but her and pepper in Freak Show OMGGGG. Honestly was just addicted to seeing her next scene in ever season and was so disheartened after I found out she left. I need MORE of her in season 13 fingers crossed.

So I first watched AHS around 8th or 9th grade, maybe even 7th. But I recently just started watching it with my girlfriend. We started with Murder House and many times when they introduced a big twist my girlfriend immediately figured it out. For instance, in the episode where Vivian gets raped by the rubber man, my girlfriend said "I hope that wasn't tate." And then, when Vivian got pregnant, my girlfriend said "i bet she's growing the devil." In hindsight, these twists are kind of obvious, but I think that's just because I've seen the season before. Anyway, my question is whether or not I didn't guess these originally when I watched it because I was young or is my girlfriend just really good at guessing things like that?

It’s almost not as bad as I remember, but also different from other seasons in that the main character started to get tortured in the very first episode. It’s almost like there was no build up. Basically Sarah Paulson is just screaming the entire time. Very relatable.

What would've happened than. Everything up until the nuclear fallout stays tge same. Mallory and Coco are still under identity spells hidden in the Outpost 3 with all the people there. The only difference being that the three witches are now dead and perished in the nuclear fallout.

When they talk about the “gimp” and even the reporter guy is worried nobody will take care of it. I don’t understand?? He’s hanging by hooks like a fetishized thing I’ve seen before but they also act like he won’t feel anything? This is the most confused I’ve been about something in the show. Can anyone shed light?? I am disabled and as a joke my family says I’m a gimp when I walk. So there’s that for reference too. I’m lost at this part
