Permit update: Permit 1 with no location: Issued as of 6/17. SS22: Issued as of 6/17 B79: Issued as of 6/17 Tent 1: Issued issued as of 6/17 SS24B: Issued as of 6/17 SS24A: Issued as of 6/24 Shrek: Issued as of 6/24 Permit 2 no location: Pulled on 6/29 Best guesses house/permit using info from Mike in Twitter. Permit 1 no location: TCM - One of the first permits pulled, my guess is that it is for Tent 2. Mike has previously stated that they try to do the tents first due to the heat. Mike stated TCM is in Tent 2. Tent 1: Cobweb (original) - Mike has stated Tent 1 is Codename Cobweb. SS22: Exorcist - Process of elimination. SS22 is one of the smaller soundstages. Mike stated Exorcist is in a soundstage. SS24A&B: TWD and unnamed original. Mike stated TWD is sharing an SS with an unnamed original. This is the only soundstage with 2 houses. Parade, Shrek, Permit 2 no location, and new tent are a ? right now. Permit 2 is probably for the final SS house as the new tent is still not fully finished with fire and electrical installation, at least the permits haven't been finalized last I checked. Mike has stated there will be an uber/megahouse. This will most likely be in a soundstage. One more permit to go. Hopefully, this speculation can help narrow done the list of possible unannounced IPs.

The thing with AHS is the fact that viewers return every year to see the premier. It's getting them to stick around that is the issue. However, not every type of horror/theme is going to be something that interests everybody. There is always a fairly big amount of hype leading up to a new season theme reveal (as evident by the number of articles posted yesterday when the social media changed) and then even more hype leading up to premier night. I feel like if they can nail this theme and keep it more focused and not let the story get out of hand, this season can really draw in the viewers. It's when the theme is not working (Freakshow) that the viewer ship really declines. From what little has been said about season 6, it seems like they are really trying to focus on keeping the story focused and easier to follow. When they start tossing in crazy characters out of nowhere and weird backstories that things start to decline. Also, if they include elements from the new season (or somehow connect the two like I mentioned above), that will help increase viewership of the show. Honestly, if I was on the team working on HHN, I would LOVE to work with AHS. Unlike TWD they have been forced to work with, AHS gives them a TON (literally) of content to have fun with. Each of the past 5 seasons are set in totally different locations with totally different types of horror elements. Being able to recreate rooms from Murder House or that huge hotel lobby from Hotel would be amazing. I also feel like Ryan Murphy and crew would be willing to work with the HHN team to make it a standout house. They have something to prove in terms of taking the spotlight away from TWD so hopefully they are not stuck with it again next year. I'm sure the team is SICK of working with TWD and its stale locations, so bringing in a new property that least changes EVERYTHING each season would be a huge blessing to work with.

I think AHS could certainly be an interesting house, but I really think they are doing it a year or two late.
