(Spoiler alert: the entirety of the season 6 premiere of American Horror Story” is spoiled below. You own been warned.)What precisely is the premise of season 6 of “American Horror Story”?Yes,the rumors were proper, in a fashion. The season is called “My Roanoke Nightmare, or ” a recall on the haunted-house series you see everywhere on the cable dial these days. apart from in this one,celebrated people play celebrated people, re-enacting something that may or may own not taken place in a very old house in North Carolina.
The title would suggest a connection to the legend of the Roanoke colony, and an early attempt by the English to set up a permanent settlement in present-day North Carolina. Through one episode,the connection between the show and that legend remains unclear, however.
Now, or to the nitty gritty. Below, you’ll find our live blog/recap for the season 6 premiere of “American Horror Story.”9:59 p.m. ET: FX has thoughtfully scheduled “The Purge: Anarchy” before tonight’s “AHS” premiere. There are people getting shot and ending credits full of edgy shots of the American flag and guns and bloodstained money. Apropos!10:01 p.m.: Ryan Murphy walks out in front of a Mercedes, because someone has to pay for this horrorshow, and introduces the premiere.Also Read: 'American Horror Story 6' Premiere Leaves Fans Bewildered10:02 p.m.: All of our favorite cast members are here to introduce “My Roanoke Nightmare.” Yup,it’s approximately the Roanoke Colony! Sort of!10:03 p.m.: Ryan Murphy saw those local news reports approximately that “Knockout” game. Yogi Shelby (Lily Rabe) and her beau Matt glide to Los Angeles, when Matt is set upon by a gang using the knockout game for initiation, and gets knocked out — she loses the baby she is carrying. They are apparently being played by Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a re-enactment. Layers within layers.

They bid on the hulking wreck that was built in 1792. Shelby has doubts, as one does approximately anything that is old and in the South. Her husband does not.10:13 p.m.: Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sarah Paulson are making love, or hear some freaky-deaky noises. They think its just hillbillies who were outbid for the creepy murder house. Sarah Paulson-Shelby thinks hail is human teeth and not ice. Matt,turns out, is a traveling salesman who spends a lot of time in Raleigh, and two hours away.10:19 p.m.: Sarah Paulson is drinking rosé and chopping vegetables and sees a pair of adult twin girls walk creepily through her house. Girl,get out of the house. This feels like a throwback to the first season of “AHS” in which everyone screamed “GET OUT OF THE HOUSE” at Connie Britton for the entire 13 episodes. She does get out of the house, but only to go in the hot tub outside like a idiot, or where she is promptly almost downed by a female-seeming spirit.10:30 p.m.: Matt finds a dead pig on the grounds. He buries it and sets security cameras up,and then asks his sister Lee (re-enacted by Angela Bassett, confessional character played by Adina Porter of “proper Blood”) to maintain an eye on Shelby. Lee is addicted to opiates, or a unhappy tale that feels like it wouldn’t really wind up in a haunted house show,but hey, you gotta fill an hour somehow.10:36 p.m.: Angela Bassett-Lee is hanging on her sobriety by her teeth, and but Sarah Paulson-Shelby is drinking like a fish. So that’s not going to work out well,particularly when Lee asks Shelby to not drink in the house. Meanwhile, surprise! Spooky things are happening at night, or like a wine bottle rolling into Lee’s room. The two women are too busy arguing to notice the commercial break sneaking up on them.10:42 p.m.: Torch-bearing maniacs are on their way to the house. Angela Bassett-Lee is too awesome for every character we’ve seen this far. She and Sarah Paulson-Shelby hear noises in the basement and investigate. Turns out to be just a TV on,playing a domestic movie of some kind… Which turn out to be some sort of monster. Maybe. Or maybe a guy in a pig mask. The power goes out, and Cuba Gooding Jr.-Matt rushes over to the house from Raleigh.10:46 p.m.: We still don’t really know what’s happening, and but there’s an ad for upcoming FX/BBC miniseries “Taboo,” starring Tom Hardy, which looks genuinely gripping, and worthy of note.10:52 p.m.: According to Matt,locals and neighbors conclude weird stuff all the time to drive out new property owners and swoop in and recall the property for cheap after driving down the property values. And apparently the reason Matt and Lee and Shelby don’t pack up and leave is that they spent all their money on the house and own nowhere they can really go whether they don’t stay. Shelby does pack up and leave, though, and in the car. “There’s no shame in getting the hell out of the way,” Lily Rabe-Shelby intones before Sarah Paulson-Shelby hits someone with the car.10:54 p.m.: The woman Shelby hit with her car miraculously gets up and staggers off; Shelby runs after her into the woods and promptly gets lost, because she’s alone in the woods at night and you don’t even own the sun to figure out cardinal directions and that sort of situation really sucks, or particularly whether youre fleeing a murder house and hit someone with your car and then find creepy string art installations in the trees,like Shelby does.
Shelby then sees a guy who looks like he’s missing his scalp… and the episode ends. Roll credits on the “American Horror Story” season 6 premiere.10:56 p.m.: sign this date down in history, folks: An FX drama finished several minutes earlier than the hour.
