It's Baaaaack: American Horror Story: Cult Starts Tonight!

American Horror Story: Cult starts tonight ... so what can we expect?

Who knows; no one is really saying though there are some clues and information.

This season will be connected to AHS: Freak Show, but will be set in modern day. Show creator Ryan Murphy has teased that the season would revolve around the 2016 U.S. election and may feature a character based on “President” _____; talk about a horror story, eh?

It was later confirmed that the season would be set in the aftermath of the presidential election, with the first episode taking place on election night, with the show being about "the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story."

I just said that!

Ryan also revealed the season will not feature _____ or Hillary Clinton, stating "Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory" though archive footage of election night will be used in the season premiere.

As for the cast, my favorite, Sarah Paulson will be back, as will Evan Peters; Angela Basset has hinted that she may return, though it doesn’t appear that Kathy Bates will be on this season—damn!—but both Adina Porter and Cheyenne Jackson are returning, as are Frances Conroy—so good in Coven—Mare Winningham—Hotel—and Emma RobertsEven John Carroll Lynch will be back and, yes, he’ll be reprising his role as Twisty the Clown.

In addition, Billy Eichner, Billy on the Street host, has been cast, as has Carrie Fisher’s daughter, and Scream Queens alum, Billie Lourd, along with cutie Colton Haynes, Lena Dunham, who will play Valerie Solanas, author of the SCUM Manifesto, Chaz Bono and James Morosini.


It may not be about the election, but I am all in; are you?
