I don't know why but I think it'll be hilarious but still kind of innovative. Maybe something like A Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline.
sharei don't mind ryan making another show like that but please no, not as an ahs season
shareIt's not that it hasn't been done in anthology shows in the past, but since it would be 12 or so episodes (most anthology shows are 1 story in 1 episode), it might be a little much for the ahs audience. Maybe a partially animated season, like having a main character who sees in animation, or have it based on dreams.
shareI can see an animated nightmare sequence like in Dumbo. This shows animation, the few times they've used it, is very creepy and beautiful.
shareMaybe a bit too hilarious?
I remember the animated episode of Fringe as well as The Nanny and Home Improvement. In each of those cases I can't remember what happened, most likely I even skipped parts, because it felt so boring to get somethine like that when one anticipates real humans.
AHS is a concept meant to be played around with, just like they did with the three different kinds of reality tv they had this season. I am not sure something as intrusive as animation would really work. Especially since animation lowers the stakes. It is difficult to care for an animated character the way one cares for a real character. So the story told would have to be a different one. Maybe recurring dream sequences, which root in the real world with some concept of rules which allow one to care about the whatever results from them.
I would say I would like it to be featured at some point.
Would be really interesting as part of a dream sequence.
Maybe a season that involves a lot of drug problems, although this would probably have fitted best in Hotel, like with Sally's character or something.
Then again they've now featured a documentary/found footage style within season 6, what's to say they won't do a stop motion one.
Maybe with dolls or something, that could heavily feature some creepy animation.
Dolls have been used as atmosphere thoughout, and obviously Jamie Brewer played one in Freakshow. But dolls to me are so creepy that if they did a season that focused on dolls and toys coming to life, some stop-motion animation or the like could be used very effectively.
I think animation would look the best in a child-themed season. Giving a sinister twist to childhood features. So dolls and dream sequences seem to be the best fit.
shareI suddenly envision that idea to play out like season 1 of that SyFy series, Channel Zero. Events that surrounds a creepy, cursed, or haunted local children program.

Maybe the tv station could be hypnotizing children to commit murder and be this cult basically, sort of like the Children of the Corn.
