New “American Horror Story: Cult” Teaser Video Gets Political
Do you ever feel alone? Does it seem like no really understands you?
Following last night’s title reveal, an official teaser video for “American Horror Story: Cult” just hit; while we’re still not sure what to make of the upcoming season, the new video does suggest the political inspiration that was teased earlier this year.
The Season 7 teaser plays out like a super creepy recruitment video for a new political party run by literal clowns, encouraging you to join their cult.
Here’s what we know so far…
- Season 7 will be the most Evan Peters-heavy season yet
- Evan Peters’ character name is Kai
- Sarah Paulson is playing Ally
- The season runs 11 episodes long
- The locale? Michigan
Season 7 will arrive September 5, but you can join the cult now.
The confirmed cast includes Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Lena Dunham, Billy Eichner, Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter, Alison Pill, Colton Haynes, Mare Winningham and Leslie Grossman.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
