American Horror Story ?6: Scary Or Not Scary?

Entertainment Weekly

Due to the highly promoted and therefore highly anticipated show 'American Horror Story', producers left fans on their toes by not hinting at the theme for season six of the show, hence the title "?6".CE Being left in the dark about this season's theme left fans dying to know. It also increased the expectations of horror, mystery, and character development of the returning actors from past seasons.

Being a fan myself, I have waited long enough to see what this new season was about. Let's just say that based off of the first episode, not all my expectations were met. These expectations include but are not limited to the existing themes of horror (major key), gore, mystery, and jump scares. Now I am a person who lives for anything horror related, so my expectations were pretty high. So yes, there was horror included in season six episode one; that is, if you count the word 'horror' in the title, and one or two jump scares here and there. Was there mystery? Sure, you could say that there is some mystery by questioning who (or what) it is] creating this seemingly paranormal activity, but the one non-mysterious part taken from this episode is that the main characters did not die. How do I know this? Because they are alive to tell their stories. So, I'll give the producers the benefit of the doubt for trying.

As for the gore factor, so far I have not seen much. Sure, there was a human pig-like creature that seemed to be covered in blood and another actual pig that was delivered to Shelby and Matt's doorstep (perhaps as a paranormal housewarming gift to use for bacon the next morning?). Not to mention bloody pilgrim-like folk who crowded around Shelby seemingly out for more blood. Although so far, I am not impressed.

So to 'American Horror Story' directors and producers, I have not given up hope yet. As I said, I am still giving you the benefit of the doubt since I have greatly enjoyed your previous seasons and, as a fan, I am patiently waiting for more. Perhaps it was just slow at the start like the first 20 minutes of all horror films before the real action kicks in, so the rest of the 'American Horror Story' fans and I will be patiently waiting for next week's episode in hopes for a more scare-inducing experience... until Wednesday night?6

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
