Unveiling the Ultimate Dream Team: 10 American Horror Story Season Crossovers & Iconic Characters We Crave in Delicate

Summary

American Horror Story: Delicate could link to Murder House and explore the supernatural elements of Anna's pregnancy.

There is potential for Dr. Charles Montgomery to make a comeback in American Horror Story: Delicate, linking to characters and themes from previous seasons like Zoe from Coven and the vampires from Hotel. This would help establish a connection between the storyline in Delicate and the broader AHS universe.

American Horror Story is gearing up for its 12th season, Delicate, which promises to intertwine with previous seasons and reintroduce beloved characters. While recent seasons may not have reached the same level of success as the earlier ones, American Horror Story remains dedicated to exploring diverse horror themes, legends, and creatures. The 12th season, titled American Horror Story: Delicate, is a departure from the norm. It draws inspiration from Danielle Valentine's novel, Delicate Condition, and features the return of Emma Roberts as the lead character, Anna Victoria Alcott.

The plot of American Horror Story: Delicate revolves around Anna, a pregnant woman who firmly believes a nefarious conspiracy is preventing her from carrying her child. Despite being informed of her miscarriage, Anna steadfastly maintains that she is still pregnant. As is customary with each season of American Horror Story, the teasers and posters for Delicate offer minimal insight into the storyline. Instead, they provide mysterious clues about the overarching themes and narrative. Notwithstanding, these snippets have generated ample speculation about the potential connections to past seasons and the potential resurrection of past characters. Here are ten potential avenues through which AHS: Delicate can achieve this.

10 AHS 12’s Rosemary’s Baby Story Can Link To Murder House’s

Given the striking resemblances between Delicate’s narrative and Rosemary’s Baby, it seems highly likely that Delicate can be associated with the Murder House season. The first season of American Horror Story drew heavy inspiration from Rosemary’s Baby, featuring Vivien Harmon impregnated by a ghost (Tate Langdon), leading to the birth of a child who would ultimately become the Antichrist.

The promotional posters for American Horror Story: Delicate suggest that Anna may also be facing the prospect of giving birth to a non-human child, mirroring Vivien's experience. The inclusion of supernatural elements in Delicate's storyline could potentially lead Anna to discover the secrets of Murder House, the Harmons, and Michael, offering her some insight into her own predicament. While Murder House was demolished in the spinoff series American Horror Stories, if the main series decides to disregard this as canonical, there is a possibility of the house and its spectral inhabitants making an appearance in Delicate.

9 American Horror Story Season 12 Could Have A Charles Montgomery Cameo

A character associated with Murder House who may be mentioned or featured in American Horror Story: Delicate is Doctor Charles Montgomery. Known as the "surgeon of the stars," Dr. Montgomery constructed Murder House in the 1920s for his wife, Nora. Dealing with a "Frankenstein Complex," as well as his addiction to ether and financial troubles, Dr. Montgomery resorted to performing illegal abortions in the basement of the house. When the enraged boyfriend of one of his patients abducted and dismembered his infant son, Dr. Montgomery skillfully stitched him back together, resulting in the creation of a being known as the Infantata.

In Murder House, it was Dr. Montgomery's ghost who delivered Vivien's child. Therefore, if American Horror Story: Delicate connects to Murder House, he could potentially be referenced. Should Dr. Montgomery return (given that he and the other spirits vanished when Murder House was destroyed), he might be the one to assist Anna. This could involve attempting to deceive her into undergoing an abortion or delivering her enigmatic child, as he already possesses experience in such matters.

8 AHS 12 Could Go Back To Asylum’s Briarcliff Manor

Briarcliff Manor, the main setting of American Horror Story: Asylum, witnessed a multitude of horrors over the years. Revealed in the series, Briarcliff ceased operation in 1971 and now lies in ruins. Despite the passage of time since season 2, there is a possibility that Briarcliff could become active again, albeit not with the same sinister intentions as before, but still not entirely benign. It could serve as the location where Anna's pregnancy is attended to, ultimately responsible for her inability to conceive a human child. Based on teasers, Cara Delevingne's character has been depicted as a doctor, possibly indicating that she works at Briarcliff.

7 American Horror Story Season 12 Teases Links To Coven’s Zoe

One theory surrounding American Horror Story: Delicate suggests that it may have ties to a specific character from season 3, Coven: Zoe. The prominent imagery in the Delicate posters revolves around spiders, which can be interpreted as allusions to Zoe's ability to kill those she engages in sexual activity with, known as her "black widow" power. It is plausible that both Anna and Kim Kardashian's characters possess this power, indicating their potential as witches. They could potentially join Zoe's coven or establish their own.

6 Emma Roberts’ AHS 12 Character Could Link To Coven’s Madison Montgomery

Another witch from Coven that could be linked to American Horror Story: Delicate is Madison Montgomery. Emma Roberts plays both characters, establishing a connection between them. However, there might be a more profound bond through Madison's potential association with Charles Montgomery, a character from Murder House. Besides her telekinesis power, Madison possesses the ability to resurrect people, which Anna could potentially utilize in case of a tragedy involving her child. Additionally, Madison could offer assistance to Anna in various other ways.

5 American Horror Story 12 Could Take Viewers Back To Hotel Cortez

The notorious Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, California served as the primary backdrop for the chilling series American Horror Story: Hotel. Within its walls, haunted by ghosts and vampires, a series of tragedies has unfolded. Similar to the premises established in Murder House, those who meet their demise within the confines of Hotel Cortez are bound to remain trapped forever. While the location for American Horror Story: Delicate has not been revealed, as Anna is an actress, it is likely that this season will take place in Los Angeles. This setting choice allows for the seamless return to Hotel Cortez, offering various possible reasons behind the return. The ghosts lingering within the hotel might even provide Anna with valuable insights into the true nature of the threats she and her unborn baby face.

4 AHS 12’s Characters Could Be Like Hotel’s Vampires

American Horror Story: Hotel marked the debut of vampires in the series, with the Countess residing in Hotel Cortez alongside her vampire offspring, all of whom shared her distinctive blonde hair. In the teasers for American Horror Story: Delicate, Kim Kardashian's character is portrayed as a blond/white-haired woman, surrounded by other women who share the same hair color. The implication is that Kardashian's character could potentially be a vampire akin to the ones in Hotel. Given that vampires are unable to conceive, it is possible that she may have a vested interest in obtaining Anna's child, regardless of whether it is of human or supernatural origin.

3 AHS 12 Can Reference Apocalypse's Michael Langdon

Drawing inspiration from Rosemary’s Baby and Murder House, Delicate could explore a parallel plotline to American Horror Story: Apocalypse’s Michael Langdon. Michael, born to ghost Tate Langdon and human Vivien Harmon, was prophesied to be the Antichrist due to his unique lineage. Despite his demise and subsequent timeline reset, Anna could uncover the truth about Michael Langdon's supernatural parentage. These revelations would offer Anna glimpses into the enigmatic nature of her own child.

2 AHS 12 Can Explain What Happened To Apocalypse’s New Antichrist, Devan

As Michael's demise occurred, an opportunity arose for the vacant position of the Antichrist on Earth. In the concluding moments of American Horror Story: Apocalypse, a child named Devan Campbell emerged as the new Antichrist, despite being born to human parents. However, Devan has not been referenced or observed in subsequent seasons of American Horror Story. If Anna's child is somehow connected to the Antichrist or meant to assume the mantle, Delicate must elucidate what transpired to Devan or why the position of the Antichrist became available once again.

1 American Horror Story 12 Can See The Rise Of A New Cult

In American Horror Story Season 7, a cult led by Kai Andersen took center stage. However, towards the end, a new cult was brought to light. Teasers for American Horror Story: Delicate showcased Kardashian's character amidst a troupe of white-haired women, engaging in a captivating dance as she cradles an infant. This raised the intriguing possibility of their involvement in a cult. It is uncertain whether Kardashian's character aims to recruit Anna or if Anna herself desires to join, possibly driven by personal gain such as career advancement. However, the cost of becoming affiliated may involve sacrificing her unborn child.
