FX hosted a free American Horror Story haunted house in Los Angeles on September 18 and 19, ahead of the September 24 premiere of American Horror Story: 13.
The walk-through, billed as “FX’s ‘AHS:13’ @ nya studios EAST,” ran at nya studios EAST at 1541 North Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood. It was open only to guests 18 and older and took about 20 minutes.
Every Season, From Murder House to Freak Show
FX described the experience as a “haunting chain reaction.” Guests activated each room in turn, Rube Goldberg-style, to advance toward a final reveal. The rooms moved through all 12 past seasons, from the doorstep of the Murder House, through Asylum’s corridors, and into Freak Show’s carnival games, before a sneak peek at the 13th installment. Along the way, FX promised interactive challenges and scares pulled from across the franchise, which began in 2011. Guests were told to expect mature themes, strobes, loud sounds, darkness, and scares. FX flagged an attendee-discretion warning, and the space was ADA compliant.
Free Tickets, Hours, and Location
Admission was free, but it ran on timed-entry registration through Eventbrite, in 15-minute slots. Hours were 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday, September 18, and 2 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, and the pop-up ran only those two days. A standby line was available for guests whose preferred slot was taken, though standby entry was not guaranteed. FX encouraged rideshare to the Hollywood location.
American Horror Story: 13 Premiered September 24
The pop-up led into American Horror Story: 13, which premiered September 24 on FX and streams the next day on Hulu. The 13th season drops the anthology’s one-story-per-season format and pulls characters from across its history into a single timeline, with returning cast including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, and Evan Peters. The season runs 13 half-hour episodes through an October 29 finale. It is one of the fall’s marquee horror premieres in our Halloween 2026 streaming guide.
