America is a land of contrasts. Sure, there are cool things like strip malls, water parks, and the occasional chicken sandwich craze, but behind its glittery veneer, this place is pretty damn spooky. Even a wholesome destination like summer camp isn’t safe from this, as any fan of Friday the 13th can tell you.

Because American Horror Story prides itself on being part-televised horror program, part-mirror to society, season 9 of the celebrated series will take place, with the headband-wearing, new wave-blaring, dayglo backdrop of 1984. American Horror Story: 1984 pays homage and takes inspiration from the teen slasher genre, one of America’s quintessential genres. As the season begins, a killer named Mr. Jingles has recently escaped from prison and has been spotted around a summer camp which just so happens to also be the site of the worst summer massacre of all time. Sounds like the makings of an American Horror Story for sure.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch American Horror Story: 1984 online for free.
