How Many Episodes Will Be In ‘American Horror Stories’ Season 4?

The five-episode season will be released all at once on October 15 as part of Hulu’s annual “Huluween Event.” Unlike the original American Horror Story series, which follows the same story and characters throughout the entire season, American Horror Stories features a bone-chilling new horror story in each episode. 

What Is ‘American Horror Stories’ About?

American Horror Stories is known for its hour-long episodes full of terror, mystery and shocking twists. The spinoff first premiered in 2021 with a seven-episode season. While a few episodes include references and actors from the original series, American Horror Stories mostly stands on its own. In the past three seasons, the series has explored everything from the legend of Bloody Mary to artificial intelligence to a killer tapeworm, an 18th-century smallpox epidemic and even a serial killing Santa. 

The anthology series follows in the footsteps of its parent series, American Horror Story, which redefined the horror genre with fresh and terrifying storylines. Since the award-winning original series premiered in 2011, fans have enjoyed 12 seasons of hauntingly captivating TV, diving into everything from creepy asylums to a coven of witches to a traveling freak show and more. 

Not a lot has been divulged about the fourth season of American Horror Stories, but we do know that each episode in the season will be inspired by classic monster tropes. The season 4 trailer reveals the names of the five episodes: “Backrooms,” “The Thing Under The Bed,” “Clone,” “Leprechaun” and “X.” Looks like fans will just have to watch to find out what types of scares they are in for this season!
