“1980s horror never looked so good.”
American Horror Story revealed a retro-themed title sequence for the show’s forthcoming ninth season, 1984, which takes inspiration from iconic slasher movies such as Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
“I am so excited to share with you the new title sequence by our longtime collaborator Kyle Cooper and our new friend Corey Vega, who ignited this concept with an original ‘fan’ cut he posted on Twitter,” penned series producer Ryan Murphy on Instagram.
He added: “I liked it so much, I decided to bring him on board to work together with Kyle as they evolved the concept into something major. Congratulations, Corey! 1980s horror never looked so good.”
