Unveiling American Horror Stories Season 3 Release Date: A Spine-Chilling Halloween Treat!

Summary

American Horror Stories season 3 will debut on October 26, just in time for Halloween, with a four-episode "Huluween" event.

No details have been revealed about season 3, but one episode titled "Tapeworm" will be headlined by Lisa Rinna. The anthology series is closely connected to the original American Horror Story franchise, with familiar actors from the main show making appearances.

American Horror Stories season 3 is set to premiere with a perfect release date. Being a spinoff of the main American Horror Story franchise, American Horror Stories follows the anthology format and made its debut in July 2021. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the series typically presents a new and self-contained horror story in each episode, with occasional connections to the main American Horror Story series.

Deadline has confirmed that American Horror Stories season 3 will feature a four-episode "Huluween" event, scheduled to premiere on October 26, just a few days before Halloween. This exciting news, accompanied by the poster below, comes after the announcement that American Horror Story: Delicate will premiere on FX on September 20.

What To Expect From American Horror Stories Season 3

American Horror Stories season 3 is shrouded in secrecy, with limited details available. However, it has been disclosed that Lisa Rinna, a former Days of Our Lives cast member and reality TV personality, will take the lead in an episode titled "Tapeworm." Notably, past episodes of American Horror Stories have featured renowned actors such as Judith Light, Alicia Silverstone, Charles Melton, Billie Lourd, Cody Fern, Dylan McDermott, Jamie Brewer, Denis O'Hare, Gabourey Sidibe, Max Greenfield, Naomi Grossman, and John Carroll Lynch. Many of these actors have previously appeared in the main series, American Horror Story.

Despite being a standalone series, American Horror Story has incorporated connections to its own previous seasons. Specifically, the episodes "Rubber(wo)Man Part One," "Rubber(wo)Man Part Two," and "Game Over" are linked to American Horror Story: Murder House, while "Dollhouse" has a loose connection to American Horror Story: Coven. It remains uncertain whether the upcoming Huluween season will follow this trend or if, due to the limited number of episodes, it will solely focus on individual stories.

American Horror Stories has garnered varying reviews, with the audience score being lower than the critics' reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The series has been criticized for its lack of consistency, which is expected in anthologies, but is more notable considering it is a spinoff that has yet to produce a truly outstanding episode. Nonetheless, a few episodes manage to embrace the freedom of the anthology format and provide genuinely frightening content.
