American Horror Story: 1984 was too campy and self-parodying, but this tone would have been ideal in a completely different Ryan Murphy TV show.
While American Horror Story: 1984 did not work as a season of AHS, the tone and story would have been perfectly suited to another Ryan Murphy series. While most of Ryan Murphy’s projects have a lot in common in terms of themes, the super-producer’s output is not remotely consistent in terms of tone.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite a lot of motifs recurring throughout Murphy’s oeuvre - and frequent collaborators cropping up in various shows from the producer - this tonal disparity makes it tough to pin down the creator’s style. While American Horror Story's early seasons are undeniably campy and over-the-top, they lack the explicitly satirical elements seen in the American Horror Story cult season and beyond.
Admittedly, American Horror Story is often absurd. However, American Horror Story’s characters are not in on the joke, whereas the cast of Scream Queens played up the show’s comedic elements. American Horror Story: 1984 was a campy, gory, over-the-top, tasteless exaggeration of slasher movie clichés, which is exactly what Scream Queens season 3 would have been.
Scream Queens Could Have Made AHS: 1984’s Tacky Moments Work From American Horror Story: 1984 romanticizing Richard Ramirez to the wild sight of Gabriel getting cooked alive inside a giant oven, this season was better suited to the world of Scream Queens than the darker AHS franchise.
