I'm a bit of a horror connoisseur, that being said, this is fun! Lots of short films, some hilarious, some genuinely creepy and all a very good time.

American Horror Story
(2011– )
Like a slow poison.
31 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
When I watched the first vignette of the first episode, I was hopeful. I love a good, spooky haunted house show as much as anyone else. After that, though I think the first episode spent too much time illustrating that the father of the family (played by McDermott) was an ass, the mother was a weakling, and the child was the only one with a spark of likability. The freaky sexual issues dominated the first episode and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. It was as I watched the second, and then the third episodes, something happened. I began to be hooked. The peripheral characters absolutely make the show, and I began to realize that the main characters were MEANT to be unlikeable. When the couple's daughter tells her mother in the third episode "you're weak" you find yourself cheering "yes! exactly what I was thinking!" The strange southern neighbor lady played by Jessica Lange is in on the tricks the house pulls, as is her daughter Addy. The maid Moira, seems to come along with the house and insinuates herself into the lives of every family who lives there. The house is old enough to have a million secrets and a million tricks to play on this oh so unlikeable family. Sometimes it seems to almost take care of them, and other times to simply toy with them. I can't wait to see what happens next.
