The new 'American Horror Story: 1984' teaser goes full 'Friday the 13th'
Watch Next

The new teaser for the upcoming ninth season of American Horror Story goes hard on the slasheriffic vibe of classic '80s horror movies. The teasers refer to "Camp Redwood," an idyllic lakeside campground that looks as fun as it does deadly, and the double appearance of a masked killer hearkens back to the OG campground stalker Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th franchise. It's possible Camp Redwood is the setting for AHS: 1984, or just a part of its ever-expanding mythos of terror.

American Horror Story: 1984 premieres September 18th.
