American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy teased a slasher film vibe for the FX show’s upcoming ninth season. In a brief promo clip posted on Instagram, the writer-director revealed that the next instalment will be titled ‘1984’ – a fitting name based on the clip’s retrospect vibe. The video shows a young woman running through the woods in slow-motion, pursued by a masked man wielding an enormous knife. She enters a cabin, crying and screaming as the blade punctures the door. The mournful strains of Billie Eilish’s atmospheric ballad “Six Feet Under” only add to the creepiness. ‘1984’ coincides with what’s considered the end of the golden age for slasher films, a year that saw the release of ‘Friday the 13th – The Final Chapter’, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’, ‘Children of the Corn’ and ‘Silent Night, Deadly Night’. FX recently renewed the horror anthology series through a 10th season.
