Murphy revealed the season's title and gave us our first look at the theme via Instagram on April 10. Dubbed 1984, the super-short clip hints that the season will resemble a classic slasher flick, showing a woman running away from a menacing, knife-wielding man (or woman?) as he chases her through the woods. The clip is reminiscent of classic '80s horror films like Friday the 13th, which was released in 1980.
Naturally, we assume the season will take place at a summer camp — or something like it — with the characters trying to escape the lethal attention of a serial killer. Before Murphy released the clip, we had a few solid theories on where we thought the series would go, and something extraterrestrial was our best bet. Seems like Murphy decided to go a whole other way!
We're interested in seeing how 1984 will connect to other seasons, considering how previous ones have always had some small bit of association to one another.
