TV: Explore the ‘American Horror Story’ House!

Published

“American Horror Story,” the new original drama series premiering on FX October 5, launched its experiential website youregoingtodieinthere.com.

In partnership with top horror and fan communities — Bloody Disgusting, DreadCentral, FearNet, Fangoria, Geeks of Doom, Camp Blood and Ology – the site offers a glimpse into the mysterious and frightening legacy of the house at the center of the “American Horror Story” series!

A digital house tour with a twist, this campaign brings to life some of the secret history behind the psychosexual series. Fans will go behind closed doors to explore the house’s hidden rooms and discover the mind-bending artifacts that reveal the intimate details that fueled six decades of murder, lust, perversion and betrayal.

This high-concept engagement campaign, from FX and New York-based agency Campfire, is designed to ignite influential fan cultures and communities, build buzz and drive viewers to tune into “American Horror Story.” In the weeks leading up to the show’s October 5 premiere, fans in these partner communities will receive creepy keepsakes, artifacts and clues and then will work as a team, piecing fragments of a story together to unlock exclusive rewards. All will culminate in the release of exclusive “American Horror Story” content that fans will be able to share.


American Horror Story is wholly original. It’s a riveting new take on the horror genre that will captivate audiences who are hungry for an entirely new kind of drama,” says FX Network’s Vice President of Marketing Lance Reiss. “American Horror Story has everything you love about a thriller- compelling characters, plot twists, and mystery, plus tons of edge-of-your seat shocks and thrills. This campaign complements the show perfectly by allowing fans to have an interactive experience with the DNA behind the series.

“American Horror Story” revolves around the Harmon family who, as a means to reconcile past anguish, moves from Boston to Los Angeles and into a house with a grisly history. The All Star cast features Dylan McDermott (The Practice) as “Ben Harmon,” a psychiatrist; Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) as “Vivien Harmon,” Ben’s wife; and Jessica Lange (Tootsie, Blue Sky, Grey Gardens) in her first-ever regular series TV role as “Constance,” the Harmon’s neighbor. The pilot episode of American Horror Story, shot in Los Angeles, was written by former Nip/Tuck executive producers and current Glee co- creators/executive producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, and it was directed by Murphy.

The site’s URL is reference to an ominous warning shared in the series’ pilot by Adelaide, one of the Harmon’s neighbors and the series’ scary soothsayer. Designed to evoke fear and dread, the campaign will send a chill up the spine of viewers and lure the audience into the dark and sordid past of the family’s new abode.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
