American Horror Story

Wow.

Stumbled across this on FX last night. Got to say it was one of the most intriguing, creepy series debuts I've ever seen.

TV-MA for profanity and nudity. Too bad the nudity was a dude constantly walking around the house bare assed but still, what a freaky opening episode.

You've got a dude ready to get it on with a 60-something maid with a glass eye, you've got the mom from Friday Night Lights getting grudge fucked by a guy in a latex body suit who may or may not have been her husband (and now she's preggers), you've got a daughter cutting herself, you've got maid masturbating and then dude following suit on top of an end table and you've got Jessica Lange syruping it up as the next door neighbor.

The show starts with a creepy mongoloid girl if that tells you anything.

Film quality was movie level, acting was top shelf (although some of the storyline was a little confusing and contrived) and the promise for this one is great.

If you like freaky horror shit, set the DVR and give this one a few episodes to see where it goes.

Watch the show. Curious to know what you (collectively) think.

Reviews are mixed. Some are saying it's nothing more than a Nip/Tuck remake made as a horror vehicle. But that's because they know the Nip/Tuck guys are behind it.

Dylan McDermott whacking off to the masturbating 60-year old maid with a glass eye is worth a look anyway.

So is Jessica Lange slinking and prowling through the show. She was great.

There are so many quirks and divergent stories -- the psycho student, the dark daughter, the baseball twins, "The Gimp" in a rubber suit, the mongoloid, Jessica Lange's feral sweetness, new baby coming, crispy critter man, naked McDermott, what's burning?, the heads in the basement, sexy-hair Friday night Lights mom getting gimped, the two faces of the maid who may not be alive -- I don't see how they'll wrap all that up in a season. It's like the opened every door in the house (and it's a big house) in the premiere and I guess they'll slowly walk through closing the doors one at a time.

You like to watch Dylan McDermott spank off to an old lady?

Did AWK hack your acct again?

Saw this first on the program website:

...the new psychosexual thriller from the creator of Nip/Tuck and the co-creators of Glee.

In the context of the story it was an interesting scene. Not what I expected to see.

FWIW? You could not force me to watch Gleet and Nip/Tuck never interested me. I tried it a few times. Not my bottle of pepper.

Had I known beforehand the glee/tuck people were behind this I would have skipped it. Glad that knowledge was unavailable to me. Will give it a couple of weeks to see how the stories resolve.

Never watched Glee. Nips/Tux was never my thing either as far as the story line...but the fuck scenes....

If you like good violent fuck scenes, you need to watch season 1 of Spartacus.

Three episodes in and the weirdness factor has grown exponentially. What's going on? I have no idea. I like that. Worried that the eventual end reveal will be a cop out but so far? It leaves crazy threads hanging -- where's rubber body suit guy? -- and opens even sicker cans of worms.

"She's still moving..."

First two episodes are online. It won't make sense if you pick it up in the middle.

Will also be running all four episodes in a Halloween marathon beginning at 9 on Oct. 31

I feel like the last episode may have revealed too much too soon. Of course, that's without knowing what else there is left to reveal. There's still a mystery left with the kid that's seeing the daughter, although they sort of let that one be known too, just not as directly; I'm pretty sure I know who he is.

But yeah, the gimp is noticeably missing and still unexplained. However, based on the last episode's retelling of Lange's past, I think I've got him pinned down too.

Well when you said Connie Britton was getting grudge fucked in the 1st episode it caught my attention. I have it on DVR and I haven't watched one yet, waiting to get 4 or 5 episodes in hopes that I will want to immediately go to the next episode.

Kaos · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2011, 08:04:52 AM »

The show took a decidedly hard left away from horror and into kinkiness last night.

Two blow job scenes, one that ended with an old crone wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

Connie Britton massaging her hoozit with a dildo and imagining being stroked by a variety of dudes.

And a bunch of other bizarre shit including a chained up retardo, more backfill from burn man and the slow slide into assimilation with the dead/undead for Violet.

I liked the "make me a sandwich" quote.

It will allegedly veer back into horror next week with the unveiling of rubber man.

I didn't know this was a television adaptation?

I still haven't watched. I have them all on the DVR just waiting. I have read what people think about this show. The general consensus that I get is "think Rob Zombie level of freaky and WTF, without the Rob Zombie gore". Does that seem about accurate?

If so I can't wait to start watching.

I was traveling the first part of the week so I caught the first 6 episodes on-line. Pretty good story line. Weird shit.

This is what I am looking for. Sometimes I want to see gore, sometimes I want to laugh, sometimes I want suspense and sometimes I want to watch something, shake my head and say "What the fuck!?"

AHS has that covered. Completely.
