The series has a history of subverting expectations, which makesAHS: 1984all the more suspicious.
The two biggest examples are season 6,Roanoke, and season 8,Apocalypse.
Roanokeoriginally seemed like an Oxygen-style true-crime series, complete with staged recreations of an infamous haunted house.

Then the series surprised again when it returned to season 1sMurder Housesetting and characters.
So isAHS: 1984preparing to blow our minds with another shocker?
Or is the plan to surprise fans by NOT surprising them and delivering a funFriday the 13th-style thrill ride?
Probably best to book an extended stay at Camp Redwood to find out.
