Ranking Every Episode of “American Horror Stories”

After a nine season run (with an upcoming tenth) American Horror Story spun off into a Tales from the Crypt style anthology, with each episode being its own story.  American Horror Stories was initially met with a mixed reception. Its episodes could be very hit or miss (much like seasons of AHS itself).  But with the season being over (and a second already greenlit), we … Continue reading Ranking Every Episode of “American Horror Stories”

American Horror Stories: “Game Over” Review

The season finale of American Horror Stories (which will be back for Season 2) proved that this series really can’t shake its obsession and reliance on Murder House.  However, the worst part of this season finale isn’t that it marks the 3rd out of 7 episodes that feature Murder House, it’s that the narrative and plot make some pretty big leaps beyond all logic and … Continue reading American Horror Stories: “Game Over” Review

American Horror Stories: “Feral” Review

How far would you go to prove your sanity?  How far would you go to protect yourself and your child?  The latest episode of American Horror Stories “Ba’al” deals with both of these questions.  And while it still has all the usual clunky-ness and lack of subtlety that AHS is known for, it might just be the best episode thus far. The Deal Opening at … Continue reading American Horror Stories: “Ba’al” Review

American Horror Stories: “The Naughty List” Review

Part of the fun with slashers is that even if characters are unlikeable, it becomes easy to root for the killer to get them one by one.  That seems to be what the latest episode of American Horror Stories is attempting, although its execution isn’t great. Bro House Opening with perhaps the most annoying and obnoxious people ever seen in AHS history, the “influencers” collectively … Continue reading American Horror Stories: “The Naughty List” Review

American Horror Stories: “Drive In” Review

The drive-in experience is something that all movie fans should experience at least once in their lives.  And with the onset of the world-changing quarantine, drive-in theaters have made something of a comeback, as they were easy to maintain social distancing. With that in mind, the latest episode of American Horror Stories ditches all connections and references to earlier seasons and goes for a refreshingly … Continue reading American Horror Stories: “Drive In” Review

American Horror Stories: “Rubber (Wo)man” Review

Nearly 10 years since the original premiere, spinoff series American Horror Stories debuted by taking us back to their iconic Murder House!  While this series is meant to an anthology itself, with each episode being its own story, it opened with a two part story that almost feels like a 90 minute movie with a beginning, middle, and poignant (as always) end. Serial Killer Origin … Continue reading American Horror Stories: “Rubber (Wo)man” Review
