"American Horror Story: 1984": Check Out FX's "True Killers" Recap [VIDEO]
Combine our professional obsession with uber-creative genius Ryan Murphy (Glee, Pose, 9-1-1, Feud, and a billion more) with our love for 80's horror/slasher film, and it's easy to understand why we're excited for FX's American Horror Story: 1984. In fact, executive producer Tim Minear only confirmed our excitement when he said this about the current season of Murphy and Brad Falchuk's horror anthology series American Horror Story:
"I think it's awesome. I think it's gonna be really scary but a lot of fun, like it always is. And that if you have a taste for '80s horror, you're in for a treat."
When we reviewed season opener "Camp Redwood," we made a connection to both Shaun of the Dead and The Cabin in the Woods when describing how the season's initial tone and vibe made us feel. We also called into question if what we were seeing was a smokescreen for something bigger and deadlier – and second episode "Mr. Jingles" proved we were right (deeper dive into the episode here).
Then "Slashdance" happened and… wow. We're talking false identities, double-crosses, hidden alliances, impalements, and our first major counselor death (sorry, Ray) – all part of an outing that has us feeling that maybe this really is Hell. Last week's "True Killers (our review here) was a fun frightfest that confirmed our worst suspicions about Margaret while actually starting to feel(???) for Richter/Mr. Jingles – and Trevor went RIP.
Wait… what's that? You need a refresher on last week's episode "True Killers"? Thankfully, the fine folks at FX have you covered with a down-n-dirty episode recap that will get you up to running (in the woods, away from a crazed killer) speed:
All good? Then why not check out our preview of this week's episode "Red Dawn" – which you can find here.
With all of the carnage and mayhem taking place in and around Camp Redwood, we almost missed a very important occasion – thankfully, Murphy had us covered.
Next week's sixth episode of AHS: 1984 also marks the 100th episode for the popular horror anthology – so to honor the upcoming milestone, Murphy took to Instagram to post a fan-made image that pays tribute to those who've graced the screen over the course of nine seasons – an image that makes us want to start binge-watching the entire thing right now:
So here's what we know about the season's sixth episode – which marks the 100th outing for the series:
