More “American Horror Story” Season 2 talk from Ryan Murphy: Rubber Man, Bloody Face & more!

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

I’m going to be honest with you guys – I didn’t really like the whole ‘Rubber Man’ thing from “American Horror Story.” That creepy freak is one of the reasons I’ve yet to check out the show’s first season. Mind you it’s not because the thing scares me or anything… I’m just a bit put off by him. Now ‘Bloody Face.’ There’s a mascot I can get behind!

You see “American Horror Story” showrunner Ryan Murphy is out there talking shop once again, this time with the folks over at TV guide. Apparently Murphy recently answered several questions from fans during a live chat and let loose a few things concerning “American Horror Story” Season 2. Now I suppose some of these things could be considered spoilers so read on with caution!

1. Season 2 really is different. Really: For those who didn’t watch the first season, Murphy says you can start watching now without knowing anything. “It’s a completely new story,” he wrote. He also reiterated there would be no parallels to Season 1. “Not a single thing…except some of the actors.” Also, this season will have 13 episodes and seven of them are already written.

2. Heroes vs. villains: Though Murphy previously said returning actors would be playing the polar opposite of their characters from Season 1, he teased that [Jessica] Lange’s nun would be a little bit villain and heroine.

3. Haunted Halloween: One way in which Season 2 will be similar is that there will be a Halloween-centric episode early in the run. “The second episode is our amazing Halloween episode,” he wrote. This means, Horror Story could return on Wednesday, Oct. 24 if FX wants the episode to actually air on Halloween.

4. The new Rubber Man: If you missed Murphy’s photo of new cast member [Adam] Levine, one of the new horrific elements of the new season was introduced. “Bloody Face is this year’s Rubber Man,” Murphy said. Who do you think is scarier?

5. A new theme: Last season’s opening credits provided many hints at what would be in store for the season, which is why there will be a new sequence this year. “We are shooting a new title sequence with the same team that did last year’s,” Murphy wrote. “The song may stay…not sure.”

So there you have it folks! Finally more details regarding “American Horror Story” Season 2… and we still don’t know much! Touche Mr. Murphy, touche.

“American Horror Story” Season 2 will return this fall with cast members Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan (below), Clea DuVall, James Cromwell, Mark Consuelos, Chloë Sevigny and Chris Zylka.
