There are few series that have entertained me more than Ryan Murphy’s bloody, campy, and confounding American Horror Story. The wildly uneven anthology series has attracted A-list actors like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Kathy Bates, who gleefully throw themselves into the worlds of circus freaks, haunted houses, covens, and asylums. Now, the successful series has spawned its own spinoff in American Horror Stories.
The trailer teases the return of several locations, characters, and actors from AHS. We catch a glimpse of season one’s Murder House, as well as the mysterious Rubber Man (or Woman). There are also references to killer Santas, the Piggy Man, witchcraft, demons, devils, and a host of other oddities. We also get Amy Grabow (Supernatural) as Tipper Gore arguing for explicit music labels during the Parents Music Resource Center hearing of 1985. Each episode will feature a standalone story, and it’s unclear if they will connect with one another or how they will tie back to the original franchise.
