AceShowbiz - Ryan Murphy shares a new tidbit on the next installment of "American Horror Story". He tells E! News that season 7 will begin on the election night. A fictionalized version of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are confirmed to appear on it, but they are not the main focus.
"I think people literally think Sarah Paulson is playing Hillary Clinton," he says, "and I wanted to clarify that that is not true. Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. It's our jumping off point. It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. And you know, that show is always so fun when it's about the zeitgeist and what we're doing now."
"No, not yet," he says when asked who will play the two politicians. "We're halfway through the writing and not yet. But it's really, really fun. It starts on election night is all I'll say ... It's very scary that night for many people. It's fun, you will like it. It's really a season that will have a lot of people interested and I think there's something for everybody in that season."
