While American Horror Story: 1984 did not work as a season of AHS, the tone and story would have been perfectly suited to another Ryan Murphy series. While most of Ryan Murphy’s projects have a lot in common in terms of themes, the super-producer’s output is not remotely consistent in terms of tone. Some of Murphy’s projects, like the grisly horror anthology series American Horror Story, can be extremely dark and brutal, while other shows from the creator, such as Glee and The Politician, boast a much lighter tone.
