Where Is 'American Horror Story' Heading To Next?
Wet Paint

If you haven't heard of the popular anthology horror series,"American Horror Story," you are certainly missing out. I started watching "American Horror Story," or "AHS" when it was first released in 2011, with season one: Murder House. The series has six seasons, and is perhaps one of the most talked about shows on social media. The television series is also known for it's kick-ass reoccurring cast: the handsomely talented Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, and Angela Bassett, and that is just to name a few.

The most recent addition to the series, "AHS: Roanoke" is about a couple who move to the South, particularly to the land where the famous Roanoke Colony is said to have vanished.This season is presented as a documentary with reenactments and is split into two shows in itself. At first I was a little confused and I did not realize it is a reenactment until later episode two. Episodes one through eight were amazing, I was absolutely left on edge. However, for the last two episodes, nine and ten, were easily predicted.

Without giving too many spoilers, I personally expected to see the return of Rory (Evan Peters), Agnes (Kathy Bates), Shelby (Lily Rabe), Matt (André Holland), Elias (Dennis O'Hare), Monet (Angela Bassett), and Dominic (Cuba Gooding Jr.) in ghost form. I also wanted to know more about Scathach (Lady Gaga), the witch. However, rumors are circulating that we will learn more about her in future seasons.

Season six was perhaps the goriest, and certainly the scariest, but it wasn't the best. The best season and the reason the show became popular is of course, the first season, "Murder House." "Murder House" is full of disturbing, yet realistic scenarios.

Season one follows the Harmons: Ben (Dylan McDermott), Vivien (Connie Britton), and Violet (Taissa Farmiga) in their move from Boston to L.A. Violet is a depressed teen, who is suicidal, and prefers to be alone. She was frequently bullied, and was deeply annoyed with her parents uprooting her life to move. Vivien had just lost a baby, and was suffering from not being able to be sexually aroused. Her husband Ben is a practicing therapist and a professor. The first season beings with a pivotal scene that led the family to move: Vivien walking in on Ben having sex with a student of his.

They move in to this beautiful house that was on sale for an extremely low price, similar to what happened in "Roanoke". However, they get more than they bargained for, the house is haunted with some extremely disturbed spirits. Season one takes viewers on a journey of the history of the house, while showing how everything happening is connected to the present day family that lives there: the Harmon family. Some of the spirits there are even based on real people, like Elizabeth Short, aka. the Black Dahlia.

I'd go as far to say that perhaps season one and six were two of my favorites. Plenty of critics disagree, stating that season six lacked something; however, the only thing that I believe it lacked was a sense of realism. I felt that the characters in season one really related to their characters, where as in season six you had certain actors playing more than one role, and it took away from their primary characters.

As the seasons progresses, you'll notice subtle similarities all connecting back to "Murder House." I promise you, each season of "AHS" does not disappoint, some will leave you wanting more and questioning, "what happens next." It's rumored the show is already renewed for two more seasons and it appears that Murphy and Falchuk, the creators, have plenty more twisted ideas up their sleeves. Stay tuned in to FX to find out.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
