New American Horror Story: 1984 Teaser Recommends Paying Attention to Your Surroundings

We love all the fun ways American Horror Story: 1984 is teasing its slasher setting. Each new preview encompasses a different kind of kill you would no doubt find in movies from that era and today’s new teaser is no exception. Titled “Walkman,” this one sees a victim-to-be sitting by the lake listening to her Walkman, unaware of the bloody fate that awaits her. Give it a watch above!

The new season of American Horror Story will feature returning alums Cody Fern, Billie Lourd, and Emma Roberts. Joining them are Olympian Gus Kenworthy, Matthew Morrison (Glee), Angelica Ross (Pose), DeRon Horton (Dear White People), and Zach Villa. While she won’t have a lead part in this season, you can expect Sarah Paulson to appear at some point, albeit in a reduced role or possibly even just a cameo. Series mainstay Evan Peters previously said he is sitting out this season.

Very little is known regarding the story for this season, but we do know that it’s intended to be a callback of sorts to ‘80s slasher horror. Don't be shocked if plenty of classic genre tropes make it into this season, especially as it pertains to Friday the 13th and other horror staples.

American Horror Story: 1984 will premiere on September 18th, 2019 on FX. Stay tuned to Dead Entertainment for all the latest news and updates on the upcoming season and series as a whole.
