Double Feature is the tenth season of Ryan Murphy's horror anthology series American Horror Story, airing on FX in 2021.In a first for the franchise, Double Feature is actually two seasons in one: Red Tide and Death Valley. Each will also have their own distinct stories and casts of actors, with an emphasis on fan-favorite returning cast members to commemorate the series' tenth anniversary.Part one, Red Tide, follows the Gardner family, who have recently moved to the peaceful Provincetown, MA so that patriarch Harry (Finn Wittrock) can focus on his writing by the suggestion of his wife, Doris (Lily Rabe). After Harry encounters a mysterious group of locals who promise him success and a cure for his Writer's Block, the town is rocked by a series of grisly murders, which his new friends may or may not have a hand in doing. Also appearing in Red Tide are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Angelica Ross, Ryan Kierra Armstrong, Denis O'Hare, Adina Porter and Macaulay Culkin.Part two, Death Valley, involves aliens —previously alluded to in Asylum— and follows characters in two eras: Dwight D. Eisenhower (Neal McDonough) discovering the existence of extraterrestrial life in The '50s, and four college students (Kaia Gerber, Nico Greetham, Rachel Hilson, Isaac Cole Powell) who experience an alien encounter in the present day. The aforementioned Paulson, Rabe, Ross, and Grossman also appear, as well as Cody Fern and Rebecca Dayan."Red Tide" trailer, Parts 1 & 2 teaser. | |

This hit very close to home for viewers who've had experience with postpartum depression. | |

Gayborhood | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_1774847 | comment |
Gayborhood: A twist on the typical Lovecraft Country town. As it turns out, the remote and small-minded Provincetown used to be a major gay hub of the North-East coast, hence the heavy presence of gay characters in the setting. However, to fit with the Dying Town aesthetic, its population and economy suffered greatly from the AIDS epidemic. Now all that keeps the town going is the coming of gay tourists and renters in the summer, and the arrival of the renowned artists in the winter. If either stopped, it would be the end of Provincetown. | |

The Greys | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_1ba5dc68 | comment |
The Greys: The aliens first seem to fit the picture to a T, being grey, thin and bald beings with no nose, long fingers and big black eyes... However in the first episode, an alien autopsy reveals their body is entirely empty, as if it was a shell, and inside is a tentacled blob-like Face Hugger. Given that tentacles are seen during the modern-day protagonists' abduction, and that alien-human hybrid babies often have tentacles and Face Hugger tendencies, it seems their true shape is Octopoid Aliens. | |

Government Conspiracy | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_5a4aa505 | comment |
Government Conspiracy: In 1954, the US government was forced to accept a treaty with the aliens that allows the latter to abduct 5000 people a year for experimentation in exchange for technological advances. As an offshoot of the above, the moon landing was faked, because thanks to the technology provided by the aliens, the government knew that actually going to the moon was a waste of time. So they staged it, as both a national morale boost and an excuse to "develop" the new technology and then move it into the public sphere. | |

Lovecraft Country: Provincetown and its surrounding area were obviously designed to fit this trope. A remote New England seaside town that is on its way to decay. A community that keeps secret strange experiments and bloody murders. A place where decadent and murderous rich artist go for the winter, and whose lower class includes depraved criminals and insane perverts. Sand dunes and dark woods home to inhuman blood-sucking creatures, and a weather that seems to be perpetually cloudy and grey... | |

Asshole Victim | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Austin and Belle try to justify the murders they enact to fulfill their thirst for blood by targeting junkies and thieves. In "Thirst", Harry's latest victim turns out to be a snuff-film actress who was planning on letting her boyfriend rape Harry to death. As shown in "Blood Buffet", Belle's first victim was her emotionally abusive husband, whose last action was to happily tell her that he was leaving her for another woman he literally just met the night before. In "Gaslight", Karen's first and only kill while on the Muse is Mickey, who not only enabled the initial spread of the pills but forced her into a Sadistic Choice to take one or be killed by Pale Ones. In "Winter Kills", Belle and Austin, who reveled in their killings, are themselves killed by the Pale Ones. Later in the same episode, the Chemist gives the Muse to several racist cops in order to deliberately turn them into Pale Ones. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: Those who take the Muse develop a strong craving for blood and flesh, preferably human, as well as an apparent inability to consume anything else. They do have a full set of sharp teeth, which are an artificial modification done by Lark, one of their own. Which type of vampire archetype one falls into depends on whether they have artistic talent or not. Whereas accomplished writers like Austin or Belle present themselves as sophisticated eccentrics, anyone else turns into a Pale One, a feral creature with the classic look of a silent movie vampire. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: To Stephen King and H. P. Lovecraft works. This half of the season has a similar setup to that of iconic horror story The Shining, with a work-obsessed writer husband being convinced to move to a more peaceful setting by his wife, and being corrupted by supernatural elements. The fact that the plot focuses on a small New England town that happens to be secretly inhabited by quasi-vampires is clearly taking a nod from 'Salem's Lot. The pill itself works very similarly to the items from the titular store in Needful Things. Like in that story, the pill is essentially a deal with the devil, giving you something you really want but turning you against your neighbors and loved ones in the process. The blood craze that affects those who take the pill is very reminiscent of the hunger curse from Thinner. The seaside Town with a Dark Secret where the locals make a Deal with the Devil for profit that turns some of them into monsters also brings to mind The Shadow Over Innsmouth. | |

Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong | |
American Horror Story: Double Feature / int_f03efcdb | comment |
Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: The aliens in this setting have only one goal coming to Earth: creating the perfect human-alien hybrid. To do so they need to regularly abduct humans to make them fall pregnant (and the biological sex of the host does not matter). The pregnancy is very much like a human one (morning sicknesses, strange food cravings, painful chest), however it is abnormally fast (the protagonists of the modern days section looking several months pregnant after a few days or weeks). While the female hosts can deliver the baby through the natural process of birth, male hosts need to have the baby surgically removed. And not only is the birthing delivery quite painful, it is also very dangerous for the life of the host. Let's say there's a reason why the aliens need at least five hundred test subjects PER YEAR. | |
