A show called American Horror Story has a lot of expectations attached. Watching the little vignettes that they put out prior to each season can really get you excited for this show. Watching the opener they create for each season also got me hyped. Sadly what your given is something totally different. The best way to give people & idea of what this show is..........if they don't know its creator is to compare it to other shows that are similar or actually done by the creator. So, if you are really into Charmed, Supernatural, Scream Queens, Melrose Place, Nip/Tuck, Glee..........then you will LOVE this show and think its super scary. If you ever thought of making a great horror show and your first thought was.......I know, lets get Lady Ga Ga, this is your show!!!!!!!!!!!
If on the other hand, your into, The Amityville Horror, The Shining, Salems Lot, The Exorcist, The Omen, then you will be thoroughly disappointed in this. The best that can be said is that season 2 Asylum was "watchable" To have a season that you are going to dedicate to witches, man the potential there........what a wasted opportunity. The crazy scary horror they came up with was a boarding school for teenage witches. You know, your basic Sabrina the teenage witch stuff. Anyone remember that thing that came out of the bathtub in The Shining?????? Now THAT is what i imagine a witch to be. Lure you into a room, appear or make me think I see a smoking hot naked women getting out of the bath, start getting a little action and............she turns into the most hideous hag, with her skin just peeling off her body and about 300 years old, laughing maniacally at me!!!!!!!!!! Instead we get some teenager, oh im gonna cast a spooky spell on you that will ruin your date tonight with captain of the football team. Ohhhhhh scary stuff. Its almost like they went out and got a different person to create the kickass intro to every season. Then said, thanks, you can go home now.........and proceeded to make a completely different show.
What a shame.
