I'm begging to think next season will be about witchcraft. It's gotta be. It's the only supernatural element that hasn't been used on the show that's important to American folklore and history. I'm sure it will not be about Salem because we are in Massachusetts right now, but there are other witch story threw-out America. Maybe the Midwest or the South? Plus Jessica Lange would make a perfect witch. What are other people's thoughts?

yeah. Witchcraft seems likely.

My guess for the location would be a cabin in the woods (probably in the Pacific North-West), since they have already done a haunted house and a psychiatric hospital. They might do a carnival, though, since killer clowns are all the rage, and they could link it to an American South-West theme.

Didn't even think about clowns. Something like It?

Ryan Murphy said in an interview that he wanted to "shoot in a place in the country where true horror has been." Many people are speculating that he's referring to Salem and might indeed involve witches.

Would he use Massachusetts again though?

yeah. exactly like that.

My guess is it will be set in a New England all girls boarding school and will feature witchcraft, poltergeist, some sort of Candyman/Bloody Mary urban legend that is summoned by saying it's name in a mirror, and a little torture porn thrown in for good measure.

I'd love them to shoot it at a boarding school! That'd be great.

Here's what Ryan said:

Season 3 teases from Murphy:

- The storyline will consist of “something funnier” because he missed what Jessica Lange’s Constance brought to Season 1.

- Lange is returning partly because Murphy promised her “hair and makeup and the best designer gowns ever” after she had to be so dressed down this season. Her character is described as “a glamour cat leading lady.”

- Season 3 will be “more historical in nature” and have a “different tone” than Season 2. But, says Murphy, “That’s the joy of the show.” It will also take place in modern day, but just like past seasons, we will see different “time periods” and “there [will] also be different cities.”

- In addition to AHS vets Lange, Paulson and Peters, “We want to have some new people come in and some [Season 1] people come back.” As for the new people, Murphy says he is looking to cast “actors Jessica wanted to work with.”

- Peters will “probably go back to playing a sobbing psychopath.”

- Regarding Paulson, “I know who [she's] playing,” Murphy stated, before adding with a laugh, “She does not.”

@fables87: Dang your good. AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM was just announced, and sure enough: It's witches!

Maybe not this kind
