The production design by Mark Worthington & set decoration by Ellen Brill for American Horror Story is beyond spectacular and for that reason this can be amazing. Super surprised Ryan Murphy let this though. Asylum would be incredible to walk through if it was represented completely & absolutely faithfully in set construction, but that season's design and theatricality are almost too good to ever touch again.
Hopeful rooms:
-Addie's Mirror Closet
-Murder House Overgrown Facade w/ Young Addy
-Staircase Foyer (Ben Hanging)
-Home Invasion Den
-Basement Strobe Lights w/ Tate & Infanata (Scaring Violet's Classmate)
-(Tonight You Belong to Me & Nightmare Audio)
-Freak Show Oversized Banners on Side Road
-Banner Gauntlet & Hellmouth
-Twisty's Bus Exterior (Expecting this to be pulled off pretty faithfully)
-Under Big Top w/ Halloween Night Decorations & Edward Mordrake Green Mist
-Tall Green Grass, String Lights, Tents, & Trailers Exterior Grounds Pathways
-The Ferris Wheel would be incredible if they still have it possibly from World Expo 2007 and fits clearance in soundstage.
-Cortez Front Desk w/ Liz
-Far Side of Lobby Between Pillars & Wall
-Upper Level Room Corridors with Open Doors to Show-Scenes (Sally's Open Window w/ Curtain Blowing in Wind
-Hotel Green Tile Bathroom & Tub Shower
-Room 64 with John Lowe's Detective Stringed Pin-Ups & March's Rubber Serial Killer Mask with Acid Bath
-Neon IV Feeding Cages
-Ten Commandments Glass Domes Display
-Basement Mattress & Contractor Fire Burn
Wondering:
-How they'll present Freak Show's flow, as much the hellmouth facade and gauntlet would be amazing to see but hard to pull off with a HHN adaption.
-How Liz Taylor, Countess, Dandy, & Elsa will be represented.
-Which audio tracks will play, as Murphy's audio choices work wonders for specific atmospheres.
-How the transitions will be done between the three seasons. (Title music/Final episode happenings represented/Stylized HHN Evil Dead-esque lettering spelling forthcoming season's subtitle in the show's iconic typography.
-How the expanse & openess of the Hotel lobby will be done, if at all.
-How exact the set construction will match Worthington's & Brill's (and costume designer Eyrich's) designs... Hopefully pretty well.
