American Horror Stroy

I recently just got through the first two seasons of the original mini-series "American Horror Story". The show is not just an excellent piece of television, but it in my opinion redefines the horror genre all together. The first season take place in the "Murder House" and tells one families journey to their ultimate demise while revealing an entire history of death that took place there over the years. American Horror Story tells a compelling story with well defined characters and a multitude of interesting subplots, all while being able to scare the complete shit out of you.



 The other thing I really enjoy about this show is the fact that the second season is literally almost an entire different show in itself. It contains an entirely new storyline with different characters and locations, taking place in a mental asylum. The creators decided to keep many of the same actors though, so the memorable performances from Season 1 are not only able to be replicated, but seen through a different character. Season 3 takes place in New Orleans and will be set in modern time. I can't wait.
