"American Horror Story: 1984" – Billie Lourd Shares "Apocalypse" Memory of Toto-Loving Mallory [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 upcoming 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."

We're not going to weigh you down with a repeat of our review of season opener "Camp Redwood" (you can check out why we compare the series' start to Shaun of the Dead and The Cabin in the Woods here). What we will say is this: while we concede that it's still early and there's a hundred different good and bad ways this could all still go, AHS: 1984 is one of the strongest season-starts so far on a number of levels.

But for this article, we're putting our VCR on pause and looking back to last season's Apocalpypse – because that's what Billie Lourd did, and that's good enough reason for us. In honor of the season's streaming debut on Hulu and Netflix, Lourd posted a behind-the-scenes look at the Supreme's interpretive dance to Toto's "Africa".

Though we're wondering if there's any truth to Cody Fern's "accusation" in the comments section:

From the looks of the following preview for this week's "Mr. Jingles," it doesn't look like the madness – or body count – is going to end any time soon. Which is more than fine for John Carroll Lynch's Benjamin "Mr. Jingles" Richter…

"American Horror Story: 1984" season 9, episode 2 "Mr. Jingles": Darkness descends upon the camp. Although it's lights out, evil has no curfew. Written by Tim Minear and directed by John J. Gray.

But if you're like us, you're not just thinking about next week – you're thinking "long game." Thankfully, FX had us "show addicts" in mind when they also released the following teaser-filled "Still To Come" video…
