American Horror Story: Classic Horror ?

American Horror Story Season 6

"American Horror Story" has taken everyone on a wild ride these past few seasons. From 'Murder House' to 'Hotel', October has always been a highly anticipated month in regards to one of the most talked about shows. With just over a month left until the premiere on September 14th, "AHS" has still yet to release a theme about what this season will be about. With cryptic clues continuously being released, you would think that a theme would somehow be able to be pieced together by this point, but you would in fact be wrong. This upcoming season of "AHS" has been kept completely under wraps and there doesn't seem to be any budging on what the theme will be quite yet, but I do have some theories.

With the release of the most recent trailer for "AHS", it appears that a girl is being pulled down into a lake and struggling to fight off a creature. Sounds quite familiar, doesn't it? Of course! The clip looks vaguely reminiscent of the 1954 classic film "Creature from the Black Lagoon", which leads me to wonder...If this clip looks oddly similar to an old horror film, will the other teaser trailers be as well? The answer: yes!

Going back and looking at some of the older teaser trailers, I realized that there are some very obvious similarities and even conclusions that can be drawn about the clips in regards to what films they could be representing. From a centipede crawling down a woman's face--"The Human Centipede"--to the sound of chainsaws near an abandoned farm house--"Texas Chainsaw Massacre"--there is no doubt that all of the clips look eerily akin to very popular cult classics, thus making me wonder if the theme for season 6 of "American Horror Story" is in fact, classic horror.

Now, while this may seem like a far-fetched idea, you have you to admit that it's pretty ingenious. From every trailer that has been released, we see infamous scenes from old horror films in which the suspense was extreme and you were completely terrified to sleep after you finished watching the film! So why not base the whole season of a remarkably terrifying show off of the same things? To me, this seems like a brilliant marketing strategy as the classic horror genre is still quite popular today and would make for an interesting season of "AHS". They could cover all kinds of equally horrifying subjects with increasing amounts of gore and fright to satisfy all viewers as Halloween draws near. I mean, who doesn't love a good scare from time to time, especially one of classical origin.

Now, although this idea seems the most plausible given the evidence, there is also the rumor that only one trailer is real and the others are just here to misdirect the viewers. Whether this is true or not, the expectation that this season will mostly originate from the classic horror genre is still pretty high, as all of the teasers appear to be modernized versions of older films. Not only are glimpses of "The Human Centipede", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Creature from the Black Lagoon" are shown, but also what could possibly be "Children of the Corn" and even "Rosemary's Baby" as depicted by the figures approaching ominously out of the cornfield a demon baby reaching for a knife.

As evidence of the classic horror theme grows, new information keeps being acquired through various online sources. The most recent, a series of pictures posted by TMZ, sparks the possible idea that this season could be based around the Lost Colony, for the words 'Croatoan' are etched into a tree and the setting looks indicative of older times.

So what exactly is the theme of this season's "American Horror Story"? As far as all sources go, no one really knows. Will the theme be a mix of classical horror pieces or will it be about the Lost Colony? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
