Here’s an Alternate Theory on Where “American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare” is Going

Published

Yesterday, Ryan Murphy revealed that “American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare“, the sixth season of FX’s popular horror series, hasn’t fully revealed its theme. Instead, the show will face a serious turning point in the sixth episode. Sixth season, sixth episode…coincidence? Okay, back to the point!

Brad has his own theory about where Murphy is going with this. He believes that in the sixth episode, the series will then steer away from Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sarah Paulson’s re-enactment of the story laid out by Lily Rabe and André Holland and will instead become the events that beset them after the filming of the documentary. Essentially, we’d see the first half of the season focus on the characters in the documentary while the second half then shifts to the actual people the first half was based on.

I feel like Brad explained it better and in a far more simple fashion, so here’s what he said: “the fifth episode will conclude the reenactments by Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jr., thus setting up the sixth episode as a continuation to the story – only it will then take place in the “real world”, you know, with Lily Rabe and André Holland.

It’s not a bad idea. In fact, I think it stands a very good chance of being the “twist”. It makes 100% sense because, as Brad has mentioned a few times, all stakes are lost when you realize that the main characters survive long enough to turn their tale into a TV show! However, a different theory has emerged that I think is just as plausible and could be equally fun!

Josh Vargas, the director of Hairmetal Shotgun Zombie Massacre, posits that the sixth episode will turn the cameras onto the people who were watching the fictional documentary. After all, we live in a society where we binge shows left and right thanks to streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Who’s to say that Murphy isn’t trying to do some kind of commentary about this increasingly popular trend?

What are your thoughts? Where is Murphy taking this series and, better yet, what would be the WORST twist that they could pull?

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
