Ever since the six unrelated teasers of American Horror Story Season 6 dropped, the fans have been trying for weeks to figure out how a demonic hand, a possessed-looking family of three, a stapled head, a chainsaw, a creepy staircase, and a centipede crawling down Lady Gaga’s face could possibly coalesce into one theme for Season 6
Ever since the six unrelated teasers of American Horror Story Season 6 dropped, the fans have been trying for weeks to figure out how a demonic hand, a possessed-looking family of three, a stapled head, a chainsaw, a creepy staircase, and a centipede crawling down Lady Gaga's face could possibly coalesce into one theme for Season 6. It’s been an uncharacteristically long wait for clues about this season, and the people want answers. Now, it seems one has arrived: the snippets totally don’t come together.

FX CEO John Landgraf spoke about the prevailing mystery of the upcoming sixth season, and why you’ll never really find out what's going on with those persnickety teaser trailers – which, really, have always been persnickety, but seem to be particularly more so this year.
That's because FX hasn't revealed the theme or setting for this year's American Horror Story, and doesn’t plan on doing it any time soon.
"Every year, we've basically laid out the themes, the new genre that Ryan's going to be approaching, and we just thought [this year] it’d be really fun to keep it a mystery,” said Landgraf. "So, we are. The scripts come in, and they’ve got my name emblazoned across them and there’s only one script that comes into the company. Everything’s blacked out that might give away the [setting]… and what [head of marketing] Stephanie [Gibbons] and her team, with Ryan’s help, did was they went out and made many more trailers than you’ve actually seen for hypothetical seasons of American Horror Story. Different genres, different places. I think they’re really fun and funny and beautifully, artfully made… and a lot of them are accurate. The others are all misdirects."
