‘American Horror Story’ Season 8 Will Bring On The ‘Apocalypse’
American Horror Storyseason 8 is unleashingApocalypse, and not a moment too soon! The upcoming season ofRyan Murphy’s frequently over-the-top horror show how has a title:American Horror Story: Apocalypse. It also has some appropriately creepy artwork, which you can see below.
Someone call Idris Elba: theApocalypseis un-cancelled. At least as far asAmerican Horror Storyis concerned. We had previously learned the upcomingHorror Storyseason would feature a crossover between season 1,Murder House,and season 3,Coven. And now this crossover has itself a name, and some very crimson art work.

Murder Houseconcluded withConnie Britton’s character giving birth to a baby that also just happened to be the Antichrist. And we all know what to expect when you’re expecting a devil-baby: bad times. Perhaps Murphy and company will be borrowing fromThe Omenfor their new season – in that classic film, a young boy just happened to be the Antichrist, sent to Earth to bring about its demise. If that’s what’s happening here, it’s still not clear what the crossover withCovenis. But hopefullyEmma Robertswill show up at some point and say, “Surprise, bitch!”
“It’s a season unlike anything we’ve done because there’s a big hook to it,” Ryan Murphy toldEW. “There’s a huge thing that happens in episode five.” A huge thing, you say?! This I gotta see! Murphy also added: “You will see so many fan favorites return that you’ll feel like it’sThe Love Boat. It’s a very high concept.”
In the past, the creator and producersaid: “There will be characters fromMurder Houseand characters fromCoventogether…I’ve [already] started going to actors from both of the seasons, quietly, saying, ‘I think in this window, if you could fit us in,’…So yeah, it’s fun. It’s weird.”
I gave up onAmerican Horror StoryafterAsylum– the show was justtoogoofy for me, and I’d rather focus on much better horror shows likeChannel Zero. I also much prefer Murphy’sothershow withStoryin the title –American Crime Story. That said, I know people stilllovethis dang series, despite how silly it gets. These people will no doubt be very excited about all of this. I, meanwhile, am excited at the prospect of apocalypse. Bring it on, I say! Unless you’re talking about Oscar Isaac inX-Men: Apocalypse.
Apocalypse! Wow!
