Creator's Notes[]

  • This is simply how I would have done American Horror Story: Hotel.
  • Many, including myself, felt that the season was weak compared to the others. My biggest issue was that the story and character arcs were a mess. I wanted to do something that doesn't have that problem.
  • The season focuses on themes of addiction, sanity, control, and freedom.
