'American Horror Story' Series News: Horror Anthology's Sixth Season to Feature Creepy Pasta's 'Slender Man'?
"American Horror Story" season six will involve children. This is the very trite information that Ryan Murphy, the show's creator, gave when asked what the avid viewers of the horror anthology can expect once it returns later this year.
In the past, Murphy said that he was working with two ideas at the same time as far as the show's season six storyline was concerned. However, with his latest revelation that the show will involve children, earlier rumor about it adapting Creepy Pasta stories, specifically "Slender Man," seems to be turning out not just a rumor at all.
"If you look at horror tropes, the innocence of children, that sort of wide-eyed entryway into some world is always very dramatic and satisfying," Murphy said in a report of MNR Daily, which cited an Express article.
Slender Man is a supernatural character which is described as having extremely long extremities. Once he stretches his arms, his would-be victims are placed in a hypnotic state, which makes it impossible for them to escape him. Further descriptions of the paranormal character say that Slender Man almost exclusively victimizes children after luring them.
With Murphy hinting that the upcoming season six of "American Horror Story" will probably involve children, avid fans of the show have put two and two together, arriving at a strong conviction that the series may, indeed, feature the Creepy Pasta story, "Slender Man."
Although reading between the lines of Murphy may suggest that it will be so, everything has to be taken with a grain of salt at this point in time. After all, the show has a record of resorting to last minute changes as attested by some of its cast members. According to actor Denis O'Hare, who played transgender bartender Liz Taylor on "American Horror Story: Hotel," the piece of information about the upcoming season of the show that he currently holds is irrelevant as it may change once the cameras start grinding.
"They always start out with a really strong idea, but as they begin to work on the idea, things morph… so I am looking forward to whatever it is. I can't wait to get back on the playground," O'Hare said.
Apparently, there is no solid piece of information that can prove what "American Horror Story" will be about, and everything can only be confirmed when the show returns on FX in October this year.
