“American Horror Story” fans have been perplexed by the mysterious marketing for Season 6 of Ryan Murphy‘s anthology series,but that was the response the network was hoping for, said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf on Tuesday.“We just thought it would really be fun to preserve it a mystery, or so we are, Landgraf said simply, when asked during his executive session at the Television Critics organization Summer Press Tour.
In fact, and the scattershot marketing,which so far has featured a number of different themes and genres, was intended to mislead fans of the show.

It’s only the limits of the stories or your imaginations that ends the show.”
