American Horror Story has done a good job keeping its theme for season ?6 a secret, but the show's subtitle may have just been leaked by a tag team of Comcast/Xfinity and TV Guide. In both the September issue of TV Guide and the channel guide of Xfinity, the new season has been listed as American Horror Story: The Mist.
One of the many promos for the show shares that very title, so this might be referring to that, which depicted a shadowy creature haunting a train track. However, if FX thought ahead, this could very well be another red herring. "The Mist" does defy the show's naming convention of using one word to define the season, and it seems even less specific than "Hotel."
And I probably wouldn't want the season that has to follow Hotel to draw comparisons to Frank Darabont's film of the same name. There's no way it wouldn't pale in comparison. So far, I'm not convinced. What would "The Mist," even be about? Well, I suppose we have less than a week to wait until we find out.
Lady Gaga, Kathy Bates, Denis O’Hare, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Finn Wittrock, Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson, Leslie Jordan, and Matt Bomer also star in American Horror Story: ?6, which will begin airing on FX on September 14th.
