AHS Red Tide’s Finale Copies American Horror Stories’ Drive In Episode

The American Horror Story: Red Tide finale ends with chaos that repeats the climactic conclusion of American Horror Stories’ “Drive In” episode. American Horror Stories premiered in 2021 as a spinoff of AHS, introducing a new cast and horror premise in each episode. While American Horror Stories season 1 wasn’t well regarded by fans, a few episodes like “Drive In” and “Ba’al” stood out as exciting outliers. “Drive In” was American Horror Stories’ third episode, following a group of teenagers to go to a drive-in movie theater to see Rabbit Rabbit, a banned horror film that turns viewers into zombie-like cannibals.

Although received as a disappointing finale to an otherwise highly revered American Horror Story season, Red Tide episode 6 ended on a terrifying cannibalistic cliffhanger. Ursula, Alma, and The Chemist move their talents to Hollywood after killing the other vampiric winter residents in Provincetown, where Ursula plans to give the black pills to anyone who will take them, whether she thinks they could be talented or not. This leads to Ursula creating far more monstrous Pale People than talented users and creating chaos for American Horror Story’s remaining characters.

American Horror Stories’ episode ends with Rabbit Rabbit viewers ravaging Los Angeles after the film altered their psychology, killing anyone in their way. This is exactly how Red Tide ends, with Pale People, who took the black pill, wreaking havoc through Los Angeles’ streets and murdering everyone in their path. They’re also both ambiguous endings, with “Drive In” signaling more zombies will be created and the attacks will spread, while American Horror Story suggests Los Angeles’ disaster will continue as the herd of Pale People feed on unsuspecting residents. The two episodes also end with the protagonists seemingly getting away as The Chemist escapes to make a pill for eternal life and AHStories’ teens retreat home.

Another connection between Red Tide’s disappointing finale and “Drive In”’s ending is that both cannibalistic disasters were intentional by the person distributing the stimulant. Ursula purposefully gave out The Chemist’s black pills to anyone and everyone, hoping to turn as many users into Pale People as possible in order to kill the talented and make an “even playing field” for remembrance. For American Horror Stories’ chaotic zombie episode, Larry Bitterman wanted to show his banned movie because he needed to prove that it could change peoples’ psychology, turning them into cannibalistic creatures. To show his power and perfection in his film’s purpose, he even releases it through streaming services, which is sure to turn more of the world into zombies.

Strangely, the American Horror Story finale episode isn’t the first time Red Tide repeated a premise from an American Horror Stories episode. The previous episode, “Gaslight,” copied the gaslighting conflict from Billie Lourd’s “Ba’al” episode. Additionally, it appears that American Horror Stories’ “Feral” hinted at the cannibal premise of Red Tide, as people feed on the blood of others in a vampiric manner. American Horror Story: Red Tide may have ended on a similar cliffhanger to American Horror Stories’ episode, but its chaotic finale may be answered by a connection to Double Feature’s Death Valley.
