Destructis Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I wanted to watch American Horror Story last night but I fell asleep before it came on. Please no spoilers in this thread. If you watched it, what did you think of it? I will check Itunes when I get home tonight to see if it's there, but I am just wondering if it is worth it to pay for the first episode before I buy it.

BlueinBuf Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was flipping back and forth, and it seemed creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 If you like creepy horror stories, it's real good. I was surprised about some of the scenes because it did show some nudity(male nudity unfortunately) and had cussing in it. Although it didn't show a particular female naked, it did show a sexually graphic scene with her (the maid). I didn't know that a channel like FX could do that without violating FCC rules, but I guess since it comes on late, they can do it. Overall, it's a good horror show.

Monte51Coleman Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 In the first episode they used almost all of Carlin's seven words you can't say on television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, it's a good horror show. It's the time slot. If you ever watched The Shield or Nip/Tuck, FX gets away with A LOT of stuff late at night. Not sure why, but I wish there was more "edgier" programming on other channels like FX. I don't get the premiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I was pretty intrigued and impressed. It was a good mix of creepy, odd, and interesting. I never watched Twin Peaks, but it reminds me of what my impression of that show was (if that makes sense). I'd recommend giving it a shot and bailing out if it doesn't stick for you.

Springfield Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great show. I recommend it. It isn't the Walking Dead but it's not supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructis Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I definitely going to have to look for it on Itunes when I get home. Lots of times, they have the first episode free. At most it will be 2.99. If I like it, I will do like I do with The Walking Dead and buy the season pass. I get up at 5 AM so I usually go to bed about 10 PM. Thanks for the spoilerless reviews.

Reic Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The last 10 mins of the first episode are absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Spoiler ninja text: Besides the doctor and the people at the girls schools is anyone in the show not a ghost? Well... I don't think that his patient is a ghost. I also don't think that the mongoloid is a ghost. That leads me to believe that the neighbor isn't a ghost either. PS: I don't think that the guy who burned the house down to kill his family is a ghost either. Don't highlight the above if you don't want major speculation into the plot stories of the show.

Destructis Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 I haven't read any of the ninja spoilers, but did download the first episode off Itunes this morning. I will watch it when I get home tonight. It was 2.99 and the season pass is 31.99. I will see what I think of it before I go the season pass route. The season pass for the Walking Dead is 34.99 and I am sure I will buy that one. I know I could pirate the stuff, but I really don't believe in doing that. Why is all the good stuff on later in the evening? I probably should just invest in a DVR because it will be cheaper in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcordNCSkinsFan Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Definitely one of the weirdest shows I've ever seen, but it was entertaining. Whoever wrote this was smoking some good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't highlight the above if you don't want major speculation into the plot stories of the show. spoilers... in the form of speculation about characters. His patient is always in his house and they never show him coming in or leaving. When he tried to call the police and warn them about him he got no where. In the basement the kid appeared unfazed by the monster that at the beginning of the episode killed the twins. The neighbor talks to the ghosts and is never seen exiting or returning to a neighboring house. Her disabled daughter appears randomly throughout the house with no sign of how she entered. The neighbor also mentioned to the housekeeper ghost "don't make me kill you again". If she is indeed real she's a some kind of creepy murdering witch I don't know what to make of the guy that supposedly killed his family. His style of dress and car are from another era. He has been seen far from the home however so perhaps he is alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I think it has potential to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It was average. Nothing too original. Alot of Shining type ripoffs going on. It's pretty obvious what is going on and none of the imagery is particularly chilling. The guy chasing the dad in the woods started getting kind of creepy but they ended it pretty quick. It's an okay show to watch in October but once the 31st comes and goes, I can't imagine anyone watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I finally watched this and enjoyed it. It has a lot of potential in my opinion. I was really surprised about the language and the amount of nudity. Hopefully Connie Britton (from Friday Night Lights) has some nudity later on....LOL. Some of the plot line really surprised me. Just the fact that it is there. The patient who wants to go on a killing spree at school is a big surprise to me. The basement scene near the end was creepy and the old maid really creeps me out. Oh dear god, no nudity there I hope unless it's the hot version. It intrigued me enough to keep watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should go into the next show thinking like that and it will probably reveal a lot of potentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4us Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 So far so good, definately earned another few weeks of dvr time. ninja question:Also, what's with the gimp? Was that a character that hasn't been shown yet or was it the dad sleepwalking/sexing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Did anyone watch this week's episode? I'm wondering how long will this series last? How long can they draw it out? There's two options for a conclusion as I see it. They leave the house, or they die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's two options for a conclusion as I see it. They leave the house, or they die. They can carry this on for a while now. Connie Britton is pregnant with a ghosts baby. So the ghosts will keep them alive and in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
