The carnival idea and the occult idea are really good actually. Carnival could be absolutely terrifying.

But I also hope they bring werewolves into Coven. I feel like it could work.

It's going to be something that hasn't even crossed our minds I bet. None of the ideas in this thread seen like they could make a whole season of idk.

[ChapelHooker]

I really like the circus idea, it's a great way to include a lot of characters I think, but I think Ryan will surprise us once again.

A haunted circus or amusement in the vein of Funhouse & Something Wicked This Way Comes !!!!!!!!!!! American Horror Story: Travelers

[Blatboy]

Some of you in here with these basic "American Horror Story: ____" One word titles that could never work. I'm pretty sure next season won't be a one word title unless it's something like "Circus" or "Cult." The one word titles only work if it's direct and blunt.

American Horror Story: The Origins of SlenderMan

I'd be so here for it. Someone in Hollywood really needs to make a high budget film/show on Slendy. It has incredible potential. It would be unique and fresh.
And maybe he can add more horror myths and stuff.


I also like the Hollywood/Illuminati idea. Jessica Lange would absolutely SLAY in it.

[Blatboy]

Sequel seasons are highly unlikely to happen due to the recurring cast members from every season being killed off/trapped in house/ etc.

[Gee]

We'll most likely know the next theme in the finale. I really hope Ryan is able to make the teaser he talked about in that entertainment weekly interview.

cannibalism

would love to see Jessica Lang kill ppl and eat them

I want them to go far away from the basic and typical horror stories like witches, vampires, aliens etc. I want them to tackle Folklore, for example a village with a dark secret, a mix of Silent Hills and Spirited Away.

Something like spirited away would be nice I guess

[Euphoria]

I would love to see how they would take on the concept of a creepy, traveling carnival from olden days.

[HandsOn]

I love the Hollywood/illuminati idea! It ties really well into the occult theme a lot of us have been suggesting. And it could be campy enough for Ryan's style to really shine.

I don't want anything apocalyptic/dystopian/post-apocalyptic at all. I feel like the more world-building a writer has to do, the less "horror" it is intrinsically.

Season 4
Setting: Chinatown/urban area
Protagonist: Detectives
Antagonist: Ancient primordial evil a la H.P. Lovecraft

Detectives investigate human trafficking/disappearances of young children and beautiful people. The detectives employ a psychic and they discover ritual killings centered around certain spots in the underground subway system. The learn that city leaders are involved and have allowed the crimes to go on throughout the years. Soon they are being stalked by mysterious figures that remain barely out of eyesight and their dreams are being haunted. Not knowing who to trust, the detectives must decide to drop the case and try to forget everything they've encountered or plunge deeper into the conspiracy to satiate their curiosity.

This could be really interesting. I almost see it as a scarier Angel.
