AMERICAN HORROR STORY

FX NETWORKS

There is no "house style" for American Horror Story - only fear, dread, and high camp. Over the years, we’ve partnered with FX to visualize their nightmares using whatever medium the story demands. 

APOCALYPSE

We skipped the nuclear wasteland and went straight for biblical doom. Using the classical etchings of Doré and Dürer, we built a 3D world of antique horror to frame the battle between Satan and mankind. Complete with a custom typeface constructed from human bones, this package brings a classical gravity to the end of days.

SEASON 6?

With the plot of Season 6 shrouded in secrecy, the marketing strategy was simple: everything is a threat. We helped FX execute a massive "mystery campaign" where every horror genre was on the table. We designed and animated a collection of unique graphic IDs and endpages, each twisting the "?6" logo into a new form of visual dread to fuel the fan frenzy.

COVEN

For the witchy world of Coven, we brewed a potion of mixed media to embrace our dark side. Taking cues from the unabashedly campy storyline, we packed in as many pagan-inspired symbols as we could, then hand-painted animations in Photoshop, shot stop-motion of rotting flower petals, and assembled the whole thing using bits of bone and the saliva of a mangy black cat.
