American Horror Story: 1984 Serves Classic Slasher Flick Realness

Ah, the '80s: huge hair, neon makeup, and fully radical attitudes.


Looks like American Horror Story: 1984 will be serving up each and every bit of those things in full force. The official trailer for the upcoming ninth season of American Horror Story looks completely out-there, and we can't wait to be able to see it all unfold.


“To celebrate the initial beginning day of filming the NINTH Season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY, here’s the official 1984 cast announcement and also some astonishing 80s lewks. Enjoy!” Wrote creator Ryan Murphy on a Instagram post alongside the trailer. Our first lengthy look at the show gives us a higher end look at Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Cody Fern, Leslie Grossman, and a number of other cast members, all decked out in some seriously gnarly '80s duds. Cody is giving me Dio Brando in Jojo's Outlandish Adventure vibes something fierce.


Intriguingly, it looks like series mainstays Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson won't be returning for this season, although just about each person made an appearance last season in American Horror Story: Apocalypse, including Jessica Lange. It was actually a crossover between both Murder House Coven, and it also was such an ambitious event that it just can't continue to happen for every season, although we really wish it could.


The previous teaser gave us some pretty awesome footage of some kids headed on their way to Camp Redwood and also a murder scene with a slasher rising out of the water to kill a unsuspecting camper. We still don't know a ton of specifics by way of plot just nevertheless, although from what we've been privy to for now, it seems like one of the most inventive seasons for now – and we need something of a palate cleanser to forget Roanoke, if we're being honest.


American Horror Story: 1984 is set to premiere Wednesday, September 18 on FX.
