The official trailer for American Horror Story season 9 has recently arrived giving the fans a hint about the plot for the upcoming season. The new trailer shows this season’s storyline revolves around a fictional camp, named Camp Redwood.
The trailer opens up with a hooded murderer tormenting campers at night. The killer can be spotted by a signature key ring, later recognized as “Mr. Jingles.” He is described as a patient who escaped from a nearby psychiatric hospital. His modus operandi is slashing throats.
A bunch of aerobics teachers turned camp counselors, at the campfire, learns that the camp is the site of the worst summer massacre of all time. The trailer concludes with a glimpse of Morrison’s character with an ominous warning: “You’re all gonna die.”
Some fans pointed out that the trailer influences classic 80’s slasher flicks. However, in my opinion, the trailer is full of jump scares and campy horror analogy to make the hardcore Ryan Murphy fans scream.

American Horror Story Season 9: Crazy Fan Theory About Emma Robert’s Character
As soon as the trailer for season 9 dropped, fans were ready with some crazy yet possible fan theories. One of them is sparkling the internet, with the “Final Girl” theory.
As the trailer suggests, Robert’s character is all reserved and shy. When Cody invites everyone to teach classes at summer camp, everyone seems game except Emma’s character. She seems to have her secrets and is nervous about the trip.
And as the trailer is pointed out to be influenced by the typical 80s slasher flicks like Friday the 13th. As the “final girl” trope in horror movies around for decades. It is a hallmark for slasher movies. Keeping this in mind it seems possible that Emma indeed is the “Final Girl.”

However, FX and Ryan Murphy prepped the show to return in 2019 rather than going for a 2018 release. Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait for season 10 after the upcoming installment concludes.
