This year's entry has my skin crawling already.

That freaky clown is a potent seed for nightmares :eek:

Lange's portrayal is an amalgam of Madeline Kahn, Marlena Dietrich, and Kenneth Mars, with a touch of Frank-n-Furter. In other words, another campy, delicious performance :thumb:

That tiny woman is so precious! What a beauty!

Kathy Bates made me LOL...she's killing it ROFL

Step right up and enjoy the show :toast:

I've been wracking my brain, but I can't begin to guess what next year's storyline might be based on watching the first two.

The creepiest character so far has to be rich Danny and his clueless mom isn't far behind, but the creepiest scene might be when the clown brings a robot toy to his own personal toy. It shows that maybe he ain't all bad.

Hopefully their partnership will help to stave off the drudgery of boredom for little Danny so that he doesn't end up drinking himself to death from a personalized cut-crystal baby bottle.

It's in the little details where this show continues to shine.

Alas, poor Meep the Geek. We hardly knew ye.

Interesting how the producer has introduced a touch of Glee into another one of his shows about freaks just trying to get by in this mean old world.

I loved how they worked "Life on Mars" into it and look forward to more musical chestnuts.
 
Jupiter, Mars, the Milkman (Milky Way), David Bowie's 'Life On Mars'.

Could next season be a 'Space Oddity'? This show has certainly created some intriguing 'aliens' in each season.
 
I love Kathy Bates's accent. It's a Baltimore-esque cross between Judy Holliday and Jean Hagen in 'Singin' In The Rain'.

Was the harlequin Elsa look-a-like her twin, or simply how the other characters see her?

Frances Conroy again serves us a loopy character on the precipice of insanity. Her restraint and obliviousness is a delight, as usual.
 
Edward Mordrake's quest for the next addition to his Curiosity Collection provides backstory for the featured freaks.

Weimar Republic 1932.

"Walk, schnauzer!"

Elsa's authentic talent is performing as a dominatrix during pre-war Germany. Her gifts include enchanting her audience as they paid to see her make men 'ejaculate gold'.

Let's just say that she endured an horrendous example of an audience turning on a performer.


Twisty's story is as heart-wrenching as it is disturbing. I could have done without his "Frosty the Snowman" voice, however. And the closeups of his unmasked face :eek:


Dandy is proving the argument that being born rich, privileged, and spoiled is the recipe for psychopathy. Idle hands...

His transformation after donning Twisty's mask was bone-chilling.


This episode was the best of this season so far.

I totally agree. It was frickin' great.

Once again we got to see Jessica Lange doing what she does best and taking on a role that few actresses in her class would even consider. She is awesome. How'd you like her doing Gods and Monsters last week? I loved it.

The B&W footage of her days as a Kitten with a Whip was really well done. The whole thing solidified my belief that nobody does sexual perversion quite like the Germans. My flesh was crawling.

You already covered most of the highlights (well), but I'll mention the Mordrake side-plot was pretty good after a slow start. He was a bit Hannibal Lechteresque; "tell me all about the worst moment of your life and don't lie to me". Twisty's back story was grotesque. It tugged at my heart strings while at the same time repulsing me. A nice twist and it effectively answered all hanging questions as to how such a being could ever exist. I'm going to miss the big lug. He made Pennywise look like Bozo and they should retire the trophy for "Best Evil Clown" now, unless Dandy ends up earning it. He's got a long way to go before he's at Twisty's level, but the kid seems to have a flair for it.

Yes, Dandy's face after he killed the maid was pretty amazing. It's always nice to see an aimless young man discover his true purpose in life.
 
Two episodes to catch up on.

Stanley and Esmeralda plot to catch a freak to sell to the American Morbidity Museum, with Stanley taking Bette and Dot on a picnic featuring poisoned pink-frosted cupcakes. Suspicious Dot declines the delicacy, claiming she's watching her figure for the TV show Stanley promises to them.

Gloria discovers Dora dead on the floor-a, and Dandy shrieks dramatically about burglars breaking in and killing her. Gloria ain't buying it, and banishes him to his room for the day. Beaver Cleaver received much harsher punishment for skipping baths.

Stanley offers Elsa stardom in TV as well, but she refuses until her stage show hits the skids with a bored and unruly audience. Thankfully, she still has her schnapps. She prepares for her new shot at fame, getting all dolled up, only to leave her tent to see Stanley drive away with Dot and Bette. It's like reliving the derailment of Paris Hilton's promising acting career.

Ethel takes Desiree to a doctor when she hemorrhages after fooling around with Lobster Boy Jimmy. Desiree should have insisted on elastic bands for those claws. The doctor assures her she is not a man, and that he can 'fix' her through surgery. Or not.

Dell is in love with a gay male prostitute, because being married to a three-breasted woman with a penis isn't satisfying. Give the guy a Snickers bar.

Dandy's 'I am America' montage while wearing tightey-whiteys was classic AHS. Captain Underpants! He lures Dell's boyfriend to Twisty's Busy Bus, and begins dismembering him before he can die from his stab wounds. Dandy returns home, covered in blood, wearing only his underpants, while Gloria ponders her role in his mental/emotional development. Before she delves too deeply, Elsa delivers a gift for Dandy. Double the pleasure, double the fun!

Your one-liners are better than ever. :thumb:

While Del and Desi might have a different opinion, I thought the Doc told triple tits that her member was technically an enlarged clitoris as opposed to a penis, but.......does it really matter? You'd think with all those extra options under the hood that the world's flabbiest-looking muscle man wouldn't be tomcatting around on her, but who am I to judge?

I can't figure out Esmerelda. The false flashbacks of her drowing Ma Petite had me steaming mad. If either she or sleazeball Stan harm a hair on her head then I'll climb in that TV and go all Twisty on them. I would have said "go all Dandy on them", but I have my limits.

I don't know what the story is with the actress that plays Ma Petite, because I'd never seen her prior to this show-- nor anyone remotely like her-- but she is just the cutest, sweetest little person ever. That voice.

Of course, that's what they want everybody to think so they can toy with our emotions. The bastards.

So, it seems Dandy is planning on cooking Lobster Boy to get even with Dot for making fun of him. Let's just say his emotional stability is a bit suspect-- but I blame the inbreeding. So many complicated angles to their potential foursome it boggles the mind.
 
Episode 6's best moment, IMO:

Ethel (to Elsa): "If I find out you had anything to do with the twins' disappearance, I'll kill you with my bare hands. Now blow out your candle and make a wish." ROFL

So....Elsa had an older sister who died in infancy, eh? I'm betting Ethel is her sister, sold by their parents for being hirsute, eventually emigrating to America. She landed in Baltimore (that accent!), where a bearded woman could live inconspicuously. :)

Of all the freaks gathered under the Big Top, who would suspect Paul was getting all the tail? First Elsa, then Meryl Streep's daughter, whose father is just a tad overprotective, ya think? Will the Candy Striper nurse her Seal Man back to health?

Ma Petite (sigh). It's very difficult to remember she's a grown woman, especially when the characters pass her around like she's an infant. Ma Petite Butterfly--so precious! And I love how she keeps popping out of pumpkins and boxes :dbanana:

My second favorite line:

Amazon Eve: "She (Ma Petite) never misses breakfast; I don't know where she puts it!" :lipsmack:


Oh, and: Elsa's tantrum outdid any of Dandy's by a mile. A pissed off Jessica Lange is terrifying!!!

Those bastards.

I couldn't hate Del more. The fact that he tricked Ma Petite into changing into her new dress before killing her made it clear that he is the worst, most loathsome, self-involved, money-grubbing, perverted, miserable, inhuman scumbag in history.

I don't think he's done being evil by a long shot and the freaks are going to find out what happened before long and come after him, which I hope props up my flagging interest in the show. Great characters, interesting premise, but the writing is all over the place, imo. The lack of continuity sucks.

I hope Del's death is a particularly painful and twisted one and he drags Stanley and Maggie to hell with him. I'll throw Elsa into the pit, too, along with everybody else responsible for the Freak Museum.

I hope Pepper does it. Poor kid hasn't had any action this year.

Thanks, Joolz. Tonight's the night.

Are you ready for check-in?

ahs-news.jpg
 
I missed the last series....but I will still give this one a try.
 
Me too.

Are these independent story seasons? Or do they tie together so if I jump in now I won't get some stuff referred from previous seasons?
 
The stories themselves are independent season to season. Some of the same actors, but playing different parts. There has not been any story continuity from season to season yet.

That being said, I read that the writers at some point will reveal how all the seasons tie in together, but I wouldn't worry too much about that if you are interested in starting this season. If you like it enough, you can always go back and marathon the other seasons if they interest you. I can't imagine some sort of tie-in will make all that much difference.
 
Thanks UT.

We've watched Season 1 but my wife doesn't care much for the creepy and the music for some odd reason terrifies her! Lol.

Think I'm gonna watch it on my ownsome.
