American Horror Story

The premiere of the new season of American Horror Story was on Wednesday. Basically what this series is doing is using SOME of the same actors, but mainly new ones, a new location, and a new story line. It is more or less a mini series. This new season is at an Asylum for the criminally insane. It is ran by nuns and I think 1 priest. It is creepy. I don't recommend anyone watch it alone if you get scared easily!

The lighting in this first episode really stood out to me as really unique. It does make it seem more creepy which tells the story better. The sound effects and music in this show definitely make the show more scary (just like any scary movie or show). The sound really tells the story. Sometimes the camera movements confuse me as to what is going on, but it also adds to the overall chaos of certain scenes.

Happy Thursday,

It is that time of year again, when our TVs become filled with new shows and our favorite series are back on the air. Last year, I became completely addicted to the FX television series, American Horror Story, produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The show features an incredible cast including, Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Dylan McDermott, and Connie Britton. I was immediately addicted to the show because of its successful attempt on turning horror into television. I have been a huge fan of scary movies since I was a young child so I was extremely thrilled to get my scary fix from a weekly show. The show did a great job of maintaining the storyline throughout the season, with surprising plot changes and a strong character dynamics. Each episode left me excited for the next. I love Jessica Lange, for her part as Constance. Constance makes her presence known in the first season for her dark past with the house and her obsession with her youth. She is a strong and bold character and never fails to turn up the drama. 

Season two begins October 17 at 10/9c on FX. This season is set to take place in an insane asylum, instead of the victorian style California home, putting more focus on the living than the dead. Adam Levine, Lily Rabe, and Zachary Quinto will be making a debuts as vital characters in the show this season. It is rumored that season two will feature new characters, new locations, and new twists. Check out the trailer below.

Best,
