American Horror Story

‘American Horror Story’ is Ryan Murphy’s ongoing anthology horror series; each season tells a self-contained story set in a different location with a different group of characters (but many of the same actors, including Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, and Sarah Paulson). Lange won Emmys for the show’s first and third seasons; Kathy Bates joined the cast during season three, and won an Emmy as well. Lady Gaga will appear on the show’s upcoming fifth season, subtitled “Hotel,” which will debut on FX this fall.

That said – will Murphy’s muse have a more limited role this year?

The fear factor of the past six seasons of American Horror Story has been predicated on a variety otherworldly scares. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have spooked us with ghost stories, aliens, witches, vampires, clowns, and beyond. Part of the uniqueness of the anthology series, and why watching a show as sadistic and gruesome as AHS can be so fun and addictive, is the gap between us and what happens on screen. Who doesn’t love hearing a good ghost story, so long it’s not happening to them? But in its seventh year, American Horror Story pivots from fables of supernatural nightmares to satirize the real-world political fears of Trump’s America, and it’s the series’ biggest mistake yet.
