Themes of Future Seasons?

American Horror Story: Solitude

Loyalton, California is called the loneliest place in America. With good reason to, as the only thing to see are a few people every few miles. This once booming town is on it's last wheels with only so many people living in the area. 

In this tranquil, quiet town; we follow the story of a man who has lost everything. A once lovely wife died during childbirth and unfortunately, the child join her in the great abyss. He works as a repair man for the other citizens, but with such a low population he has to look into other means for "work". 

One afternoon, as he is finishing his "work", He notices a cloud, one unlike any other. 

He watches as this cloud hovers over the entire town and then quickly descend, enveloping it in a thick, dense fog.   

Screams can be heard as he rushes to his car. All around him are nothing but screeches and crashes. As he drives he see a figure in the distance; he crashes whilst trying to avoid hitting it. He slowly drifts into unconsciousness with the image of a creature stuck in his mind.  

He wakes up in his home as though nothing happened. He tells his neighbor about his "nightmare" and they laughed it off as being a product of too much stress. He goes on about his day as normal. Everything seems to be in the ordinary until he starts seeing flashes of a gruesome murder. He starts to see a therapist about these "visions" as they are preventing him from living a relatively normal life. His therapist advises some pills and bed rest to give him time to think about "what is really happening around him"  and allow him to "get a hold of himself". 

As he stays home he looks back on his life with his wife. He remembers her garden and decides to plant a tree in her memory. He calls his neighbor to get the supplies for him. Once his neighbor comes back, He gets started on the memorial. After a long day of work, he feels a sense of happiness and returns home to rest. 

He wakes up and to his surprise the tree has grow quite fast; even taking on a weird shape. 

 

baffled he runs to into his house to phone his therapist. A woman's voice answers and he demands to speak to his therapist to which she replies, "We've never had this person work here, sir." Shocked, he drops the phone and runs out of his house. He goes to his neighbors but no one is home. He gets into his car and drives through the town. Every building he passes is like the last; decrepit and empty. In the distance he notices a forest, one that was not there before making it impossible to leave. 

Stuck in this town he is tormented by visions of abhorrent murders. Every attempt to leave is futile due to when he falls asleep he returns to the house, only this time the trees move closer to the house. 

As the season continues, we watch as this man struggles with his sense of reality, attempts to deal with loneliness, suicide, unearthly beings, and an unbearable reality that he must discover before it's too late.

 

It makes you wonder, How long does it take you to succumb to solitude?

Maybe you've already lost the battle and your attempt to recreate and distort the truth will be your undoing.

American Horror Story: ALIEN 

set in present and past. maybe connected to the Roswell landing plus the aliens in season twos asylum because I want to know more about them I was so confused . I would love a hybrid with the alien film series though that would be epic 

not sure if thats "HORROR" enough but I like it.

AHS: Flesh - about a bunch of hick town yokels who are also cannibals and eat the new comers into town.

American Horror Story: Unmasked

A twisted thriller revealing the creatures behind our government, cults, and celebrities. Inspired by “reptilians" and it is set in the future and it's all about a secret society that tries to take over the world and portrays hidden messages in our pop culture, like songs, t.v. shows, and even our food.

American Horror Story: Web

Its about the hidden things in our web 

This is an exceptional idea! There's a lot you could do with it and it's one that could continue to freak people out even when they're not watching the show. 

 

I've thought of a new one: American Horror Story: Human Bodies.

It takes place inside (and outside) the human body and it depicts different diseases and conditions in a psychological way. This takes place a whole millenimum later, as scientists finds new ways to find immunity and a way to live forever. The thing is, the creatures (humans) gets sick along the way, and they turn crazy mentally and they try to take over again and rule the new creatures that has more power than them. However, this series has a whole lot of genres and plot holes for example: a human finds love with the creature but it is not bound to happen. This series ridicules real life society in a haunting way. 

Definitely the most unique idea I've seen on this thread. The amount of creativity that you'd need to make a show following this concept is high. I like it because there are things we've seen before that will make the idea easy to grasp- immortality, futuristic, overthrowing new creatures in power, etc. but it seems to be done in a way that puts a unique twist on all of those things, bringing them together in a way never quite done before. 

 

American Horror Story: White House (epic. Everyone knows this would be epic. Everyone knows the white house is haunted. Throw in a sassy female president and dirty politicians, and the ghosts of the past will do the storytelling, oh......And the first husband is a gay necrophiliac who calls himself a "republican")

American Horror Story: Casino (money, glamour, and s-x. A lad Vegas pimp has his eyes on a big prize, but can he pay for it when his new prostitute has a bigger monster of an idea for him?)

These two are BRILLIANT. I could see them being AHS shows. In fact, out of all the ideas in this thread I think these two make the most sense for the series and would fit in well with what the show has done already.

Now I'm sad that this isn't real.  The imagery you've created here is wonderful and the kind of scary I like. Unsettling, the sense of things just not being "right," and the concept of solitude is very interesting.

If Gaga would return next season, I feel like this could be nice inspiration for a theme

 

[Solitaire 902]

Most fairytales started off as violent and horrific stories before Disney came in and cleaned them up. Most of them were written by these two guys called the Grimm Brothers. You Google them, its pretty interesting. I think there was a show about them and their sick fairytales before they were Disney-fied but its probably cancelled.  

The only problem with "AHS: Fairytale" is that if they're based on the Grimm Brothers' stories (as most notable "American" fairytales/Disney movies are), they'll actually be German stories and not "American" 

 

Just something funny to consider.

 

So far all the seasons have either been set in the present or past, I'm going to need a season set in the future. Definitely wouldn't mind something like AHS: Space where a small group of characters are on a NASA mission to some planet/moon in the solar system and a bunch of weird stuff happens. It could be broken up into two different parts, one where the majority of action happens in the confines of the space ship and the other that occurs whenever the crew finally lands. The first part could be filled with psychopathic astronauts that have gone insane from the confines of the space ship (very Stanley Kubrick The Shining feel) and the second part could deal with potential Aliens, NASA psychology experiments, it could even play off the terror of complete open space like the movie Gravity did, or continue with the psychopathic theme (or all of these ).

I'd love for it to have the aesthetic of an updated 2001: A Space Odyssey.

This thread reminds me of an old challenge game that got cancelled on here AHS create a season

My theme was Cabin Fever and I made cheap lookin promo posters for it 

All girls, Catholic summer camp, Juvenile delinquents

 

 

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

Ryan says there are clues in the previous season to what theme the next season will be so we'll find out soon enough when the show begins 

Cult sounds amazing and fresh compared to Hotel!

I'd love like "American Horror Story: Fairytale" where they take horrific twists on common fairytales but idk if there's something already like that and it might not fit in with the world that AHS is set in.

But it would be so cool to see someone like Melificent being played by Jessica Lange or Sarah Paulson 

 

That's basically Once Upon A Time

American Horror Story: Quarantine

Taking place in the year 2022, WW3 has broke out causing America to be attacked by bio weapons, releasing a virus that causes a different symptom in each individual exposed varying from agression to mutations. Only refuge lies in a man made city built by the immune. Survival is a day to day struggle. Until there's a cure and the war stops we are under QUARANTINE

 

[Riley 1,298]

Have no desire to sort through 10 pages so Idk if people have said these yet or not but here are some of my ideas..

AHS: Hospital

AHS: Area 51 (or something similar/of that sort)

AHS: White House (behind the scenes look of corrupt government officials)

AHS: Holocaust/Genocide (maybe a social commentary on a modern holocaust situation with a mass killing of gays? or a civil rights era theme and a mass killing of african americans?)

AHS: Plantation (sort of like any scary movie set in a corn field or in the country like chainsaw massacre or something, maybe set in the past like slavery era?, just crazy stuff happening on a farm in the middle of nowhere) 

[Jewels n Drugs 4,629]

I'd love a season set in the early American Colonies. I just think that period of time was interesting, and with it's limited technology and intensely religious structure, I think it could be a really dark and interesting season.  

this omg

inb4 AHS: Jamestown

[DIVA 666]

this omg

inb4 AHS: Jamestown

I would love it. I think it would be the most interesting setting thus far. 

[Miky 9,426]

it would be a lot different, even more twisted and it could have less characters than Asylum and it would be great if this season happened in late XIX century/  early 1900s and had something gothic in it

They should absolutely use the ideas of the genius Edgar Allan Poe gothic 

[Lucifer 1,987]

AHS: Island

Lord of the flies teas tho
