American Horror Story Season 6: Scary Settings

As if adoption wasn't emotional enough, try adding to the mix a disturbed youngster — perhaps played by Hotel's Scarlett, Shree Crooks — who's willing to do whatever it takes to see that no prospective parents take home any of the fellow foundlings with whom she's formed a dysfunctional family of her own.

All three of the Season 6 cast members who thus far have been revealed are, ahem, killer vocalists. So why not cast Cheyenne Jackson and Angela Bassett as Annie co-stars plotting to make the lead moppet's next performance of "Tomorrow" her swan song — over stage mother Lady Gaga's dead body! Not scary enough? Whip out a cell phone around guest diva Patti LuPone from Coven!

As creepy as Dead of Summer may be, you just know that an AHS set at camp would make Freeform's thriller seem about as scary as Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. Twisted as Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are, they'd probably have their deranged counselors give their charges a kill-or-be-killed proposition: Only the last kid standing at summer's end will get to go home. Well, with a pulse!

Every morning, parents drop their little darlings off with — well-vetted as they may be — strangers. So how can Mom or Dad ever truly be sure that they know what goes on while they're at work? What if story time involves Lady Gaga reading from the Necronomicon? What if naptime only begins when Cheyenne Jackson passes out hallucinogens? And — shudder — don't even get us started on what Angela Bassett might have planned for snacktime!

We've been creeped out by dolls since Poltergeist. So few notions are scarier to us than that of another Chucky or Annabelle coming to life and encouraging its owner to kill their parents, thus paving the way for more "fun." As an added bonus, Jamie Brewer could reprise her Freak Show role, making Marjorie a toy-chest playmate for our Slaughterhouse Barbie.

Has any teacher not looked out at their class of sweet-faced fourth-graders at least once and thought, "Yeah, no two ways about it — these kids are possessed!"? No, right? Now imagine what would happen if, no matter who tried to reason with the teacher in question, they still took steps to send the demons back to hell. It'd be madness, especially when the little devils ended up proving their teacher right!
