American Horror Story: 1984 The New Trailer Promises A Summer Camp Massacre

"This is the site of the worst summer massacre of all time."

The full trailer for the newest season of American Horror Story has arrived. The series, titled American Horror Story: 1984, is the ninth season of FX's anthology horror TV show, and it will pay homage to slasher films from the 1980s.

Unlike the trailer released last month, this one sets out the show's story. That said, anyone who has seen any slasher movies from the '80s could guess it in advance--a group of partying teens head to a summer camp, where they are picked off by an escaped maniac. But in the hands of AHS creator Ryan Murphy, it looks like gloriously campy fun, with amazing '80s fashions, faux film scratch marks, and a hooded killer called Mr Jingles. Check it out below.

The cast of the new series includes Emma Roberts, Cody Fern, Gus Kenworthy, Billie Lourd, Matthew Morrison, Angelica Ross, DeRon Horton, and Zach Villa. American Horror Story: 1984 premieres on September 18 on FX.

While Roberts, Lourd, Fern, and Grossman have all appeared in previous seasons of the show, one series regular who won't feature much--or possibly at all--is Sarah Paulson. As reported by Variety, Paulson won't have "a significant role" in Season 9, and the most we can expect to see her in is a cameo.
