Trump and Clinton Will Be Portrayed in ‘American Horror Story: Election’

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

A few weeks ago, American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy either played the biggest troll card of his career toward fans of the FX series, or he is being authentic towards his feelings in regards towards America’s direction today and is using American Horror Story as a creative outlet to send a positive and powerful message to audiences who will tune in- you can read his theme reasoning here.  However, it sure as hell seems the theme is staying and legit folks as Murphy has once again, dropped some more dirt on this highly anticipated among many, season seven of the horror series.

Yesterday in an interview with E! News, Murphy squashed speculation on whether Trump or Hillary will be portrayed in the upcoming Election themed season premiering later this year in saying that indeed the POTUS and runner-up will be characters in the show. However, they will not be the main focus of the series.

Murphy to E! News:

“Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. It’s our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. And you know, that show is always so fun when it’s about the zeitgeist and what we’re doing now.”

 

Murphy also affirmed that seasoned vet Sarah Paulson, who has already been confirmed to return, will NOT be portraying Clinton, as many have speculated prior. He also goes on to say that the roles in question, have not been cast as of yet.

“I think people literally think Sarah Paulson is playing Hillary Clinton, and I wanted to clarify that is not true.”

When asked if Murphy has cast Clinton and Trump:

 “No, not yet. We’re halfway through the writing and not yet. But it’s really, really fun. It starts on election night is all I’ll say…It’s very scary that night for many people. It’s fun, you will like it. It’s really a season that will have a lot of people interested and I think there’s something for everybody in that season.”

 

So there you have it, kind of. Seems to be this is actually happening folks! More to come as details roll in!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
