Ryan Murphy teases about AHS season 7 title, sparks fan frenzy: 'Reality show about phobias?'

Show creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy has shared a clue about American Horror Story season 7 title on Instagram and fans are freaking out. Murphy also confirmed that the title would be unveiled later this week.

The Instagram image features a man engulfed in a swarm of bees, as the caption reads, "AHS last clue before this week's TITLE reveal. Ideas?"

Instagram users have come up with their own idea for AHS season 7 title, most popular ones include "phobias" and "reality tv". A fan commented, "oh Lordi have no idea hahaha maybe like phobias of some sort? Game show style? Like who dares wins...but to the death hahaja"

Another noted, "It's a location, guys. Stop saying phobias and that shit. Maybe the plot is about phobias but the theme of the season has to be a location, like house, hotel, freak show, coven etc..."

Some think it may be related to reality TV, as one user commented, "American Horror Story: Reality TV," another flower guessed, "Reality TV gone insane?"

"A reality show about phobias or fearful things? Like a horror competition or something?" a user commented. Recently, Ryan took to Instagram to announce that Arrow actor Colton Haynes is jong season 7 of AHS.

Back in June, the show creator also dished about the season 7 plot, which will be based on 2016 US presidential elections. He told E! News, "It's very scary and very fun and very...topical. Anybody who voted in the last election will very much enjoy what it's about."

Sharing details on which characters Sarah Paulson will be playing this year, he continued, "I think people literally think Sarah Paulson is playing Hillary Clinton. And I wanted to clarify that that is not true. Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is an allegory. It's our jumping off point. "

He concluded by saying, "It is about the election we just went through and what happened on that night and the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. And you know, that show is always so fun when it's about the zeitgeist and what we're doing now."

The upcoming season, which is currently in filming, stars Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Alison Pill, and Adina Porter.
