American Horror Story is Life

Be aware: I know that this post won't be particularly scary and/or creepy because I’m just going over some main points, but don’t worry, when I do reviews of the individual seasons I will get into the gory details….

Anyhow, I have officially decided that I need to go to rehab for my addiction to American Horror Story. For those of you who have no idea what that is, here’s a little background info: This TV show is hands down one of the best. Each new season has a different plot and different characters, but most of the actors remain the same, and I feel that I have become emotionally attached to some of them (Evan Peters). Anyway, AHS is pretty dang creepy and gory, so if you're squeamish than this show probably isn’t for you, but if you’re like me and for some reason you like those kinds of things, than stop whatever you’re doing right now, get on Netflix, and watch it. The first three seasons are on there, and the cool thing is, you don’t have to watch them in chronological order because each season is completely different than the last one. If you want to watch the fourth, which just ended (so my life is over for a while), click here. However, once you have started a season, DO NOT skip around episodes. If you choose to do so, you will end up very confused and sad and depressed. But, most people don’t have this problem because once you start watching you can’t stop and you end up watching five or more episodes at a time instead of doing your English homework. 

If you can’t decide what season you want to watch first, here are the plots from all four seasons. (Once again, these summaries are going to be extremely brief; I’ll go into details in the individual season reviews, but only read those posts if you have either seen the season already or don’t plan on doing so ever, as I will be disclosing countless spoilers…)

Season One - Murder House: The first of four seasons, this one is pretty dang cool. The main character’s name is Violet and she moves with her mom and dad to LA to start a new life after her dad cheats on her mother. Her dad is a therapist and he happens to have a patient that is Violet’s age, and his name is Tate (fangirls appear). Well Tate is actually kinda insane but Violet and him fall in love anyway, and it turns out that the house that Violet and her family is living in is haunted by the people that have previously lived there and were brutally murdered there as well.

Season Two - Asylum: So this season is my personal favorite… I’m currently watching it for the third time, oops. The main character’s name is Kit (fangirling currently) and he is admitted to Briarcliff mental institution after being accused of being a serial killer known as Bloody Face. Now, Briarcliff isn’t exactly a “civil” place. It is run by some crazy-ass nuns and a creepy and violent surgeon… I bet you can guess what goes down there.

Season Three - Coven: This season is also one of my favorites (but let’s be real they all are). It is about a coven of witches in the present day. Witches are quickly dying out and they need a new queen witch, or, “supreme” to lead them quickly, or else witches could be gone forever.

Season Four - Freakshow: Elsa Mars’ freak show is struggling and the fact that a creepy man that is posing as a business man from Hollywood is attempting to kill them off one by one for their body parts isn’t really helping anything.
