Ryan Murphy Provides First Glimpse of Creature From American Horror Story Season 7

Written by Patti Pauley

Ever since American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy muttered the words “election” as the theme to revolve around the massive FX show, fans of the series have been what is fair say looking at thread comments, split down the middle regarding the chaos and shocking outcome of the 2016 American election. Beyond the fact that season vets Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are set to return for another go with Murphy, with more recently new additions Billy Eichner and Scream Queens star Billie Lorde to make an appearance and that Trump and Clinton will be portrayed in the series, not much is REALLY known about the impending seventh season of the program. However, does that really come as a shock to ANYONE that’s been following the show since day one?

Murphy is famous for being coy with his AHS reveals to heighten the suspense factor, but it seems this year, in particular, the American Horror Story mastermind had been a tad more open in cluing fans in. The most recent comes today via Murphy’s own Instagram account as he unties that string from our blueish balls in a revealed sketch of a creature that is to possibly appear in American Horror Story: Election.

 

Perhaps a not so subtle jab at the Republican party? 

American Horror Story Season 7 tease.

(LOL) OK, that’s more than an obvious riff at the Republican party. And that sketch is giving off a serious Freak Show Twisty the Clown/ Dumbo (Elephants on Parade) vibe with that nightmarish grin. Thanks for the impending nightmares Murphy.

Will we see a horrifying two-headed jack-ass creature sketch in the upcoming weeks? Maybe. Maybe not. I think we definitely need to see that next though.

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

Published

on

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.

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.
