AMERICAN HORROR STORY: Season Seven On The High Seas?

Published

Another year, another season of American Horror Story has more or less wrapped. Roanoke ended up being a true surprise, literally. As a wave of potential teasers for the mystery season were released, nobody could make heads or tails or teeth of what was to come. What we got was a ghostly tale of a haunting by the legendary lost colonists of Roanoke. On top of that, the series totally breaking from the typical narrative format of previous seasons by giving us an entire plot told through mockumentary, then the twist of changing formats again to found footage style. While there are certainly critiques and criticisms to be had, this season could easily go down as one of the series’ best structured plots and most inventive. Now, the question remains: What comes next?

Fortunately, clues have already dropped. Much like previous seasons, hints are dropped that allude to the horror stories to come. Such as discussions of asylums in Murder House, the use of the song “I Put A spell On You” in Asylum to Coven, and the line “Life Is Like A Carnival” in Coven alluding to Freak Show. Fortunately, the creators have released a cryptic, but revealing clue with this tweet off the Roanoke season finale.

So, we have a seemingly serene sea with the line “Sweet Dreams” and “The monsters are all gone” combined with cuts to those creepy Blair Witch style figures from this season. Off of that, I think it’s safe to speculate that Season 7 of American Horror Story may involve some scares on the seven seas! Or, at least those bordering America.

Another major clue that fans have latched onto was the focus to a model boat being knocked over in the season finale. When Lee returns to the cursed estate the same time that the Ghost Hunters knock-off show does their fateful stay during The Blood Moon, the antique model ship is supernaturally pushed over. But for a simple jump scare, the camera did linger on it quite a bit.

As well, it is noted that the colonists travelled to the Americas by way of ship, and some of the initial teasers did have aqua themed terror. Combined, I think it’s safe to guess that next season will have something to do with the ocean and a ship in particular. The tweet reading “The monsters are all gone” makes me think “Here there be monsters.” Perhaps as every season draws from real life horrors, one of the many famous boats or crews that have disappeared at sea. Such as The Mary Celeste or the many doomed souls to go through The Bermuda Triangle. As someone who really loves stories about the beasts of the deep, I am sincerely hoping for some scary sea monsters.

So while we wait, why not speculate! What do you think is the horror story to come in Season 7?

Netflix Releases First BTS ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ Footage

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.” 

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

Fear Street: Prom Queen features a killer ensemble cast, including India Fowler (The Nevers, Insomnia), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls, Above the Shadows), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cinnamon), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias, American Pie), Lili Taylor (Outer Range, Manhunt) and Katherine Waterston (The End We Start From, Perry Mason).

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Scooby Doo Live Action Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
