“American Horror Story” just released two snippets from the script, and we’re freaked out just reading them
In just a few weeks, American Horror Story: Cult — the latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s critically acclaimed anthology series — will premiere on FX. And based on a sneak preview of the script, it’s going to be another terrifying, gory season.
In the weeks leading up to the season premiere, a horrifying interactive website has been dropping hints about the upcoming season, which will revolve around the 2016 presidential election. But the two snippets of the script are probably the most revealing bits Murphy and company have given fans about the mysterious season thus far.
The first piece of the script depicts what could only be the most horrifying breakfast in existence:
"Insert — Plate. A crumpet full of HOLES sits on top of a bed of endive. Blood seeping through the holes in the pastry. In the endive, little sausage shaped "things" are REVEALED to be fingers — pinkies to be exact. [Redacted] recoils from the image... [Redacted] hyperventilates as she lurches back. Her hand grabbing the dome and covering the offending plate. She reaches for her glass of wine, but misses, KNOCKING it off the table."
WOW, that’s certainly a visual. It seems that whoever is falling victim to this horrifying mess is *very* caught off guard, so we’re guessing they aren’t part of the mysterious cult — at least, not yet.
The second snippet of the script takes place on what could be the goriest bus in America:
"Bus Floor: A bloody tongue drops INTO FRAME, a silver rod pierced through the pink muscle. The image changes into [redacted]. CAMERA PANS [redacted] showing the demented face of [redacted] holding [redacted]'s phone."
This scene is even more redacted than the first, which we’re thinking probably means that a few of the famous faces in the season are in serious trouble. Regardless, we get the sense that the bus is not going to be a popular place this season. And staying true to AHS, the latest installment has *all* the signature gore we’ve come to love (and fear) in the anthology series.
The upcoming season will see the return of AHS staples and alums in Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter, and Emma Roberts — and the debut of newcomers Lena Dunham, Colton Haynes, Billie Lourd, Alison Pill, and Billy Eichner.
If there’s one thing we take away from the pieces of script gifted to us, it’s that once again, we will not be eating while watching AHS. American Horror Story: Cult premieres on September 5th on FX.
