Well, I guess that second one kinda sounds like the Polk family from American Horror Story: Roanoke, so maybe that angle shouldn’t get used.
Which could lead to a post-apocalyptic set-up in which survivors are fighting for resources, or maybe some kind of a Hills Have Eyes scenario involving a pack of irradiated cannibals keeping a family hostage.
After the bipartisan madness that was American Horror Story: Cult, it’s no strain to foresee Ryan Murphy & Co. pitting this country against a modern-day nuclear fallout.
It could very easily tie into what we already know about Season 8, which is that it’ll take place in the future (though not in outer space).
