American Horror Story: 1984's Full Trailer Is A Glorious Slasher Movie Homage
The full trailer for the new season of American Horror Story is here. The ninth season of the popular anthology horror series is titled American Horror Story: 1984 and, as the title suggests, pays homage to scary movies of the 1980s.
Unlike the trailer released last month, this one sets out the show's story. That said, anyone who has seen any slasher movies from the '80s could guess it in advance--a group of partying teens head to a summer camp, where they are picked off by an escaped maniac. But in the hands of AHS creator Ryan Murphy, it looks like gloriously campy fun, with amazing '80s fashions, faux film scratch marks, and a hooded killer called Mr Jingles. Check it out below.
While Roberts, Lourd, Fern, and Grossman have all appeared in previous seasons of the show, one series regular who won't feature much--or possibly at all--is Sarah Paulson. As reported by Variety, Paulson won't have "a significant role" in Season 9, and the most we can expect to see her in is a cameo.
