Review: American Horror Story: Cult

Politics and clowns can be very scary

Review: American Horror Story: Cult

I wasn't too sure what to think about this season of American Horror Story. With the way things are using the 2016 Presidential campaign, could ruffle some people feathers the wrong way. But it’s what we have to deal with like it or not. Since a young child I’ve loved horror. I can’t say that I’ve watched every season of American Horror Story from beginning to end but I have watched them here and there. Season seven of American Horror Story: Cult opened with the 2016 Presidential campaign. It also takes place in my home state of Michigan. Which was honestly a very horrifying experience, the election not my home state.

Three of the characters this season are Ally Mayfair-Richards played by Sarah Paulson, her wife Ivy Mayfair-Richards played by Alison Pill, and their 10-year-old son Oz Mayfair-Richards played by Cooper Dodson. While Oz watches that his parents and their friends are upset over the results, they assure him that nothing will happen to them. On top of the election and the elections aftermath Ryan Murphy decided to throw in Ally's anxiety and phobias (her fears of clowns and holes) to give it the scary element. I'm not afraid of clowns, but to be honesty if I saw anything like Twisty in real life; I'd would be scared. I'd be very scared indeed.

We also meet Winter and Kai Anderson. I believe their twins or they just might be brother and sister. But either way they have a strange relationship between the two of them. Winter ends up babysitting for Oz and while the moms are out they witness a murder form Ivy and Ally’s friends (The Chang’s) next door. Winter later lies to Ally and Ivy saying he only came outside when he saw the police. A gang of clowns come and torture and kill Mr. and Mrs. Chang in their home. Re-watching the episode I believe that Kai had something to do with it. At a city hall meeting Kai made protest, regarding extra deputies standing guard at the local Jewish Community Center. After his speech Mr. Chang, pretty much tears him down. Especially after he goes on a long rant. As he walking away he says that “there is nothing more dangerous than a humiliated man.” Which makes me think he was behind the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Chang. I could be wrong, it’s just my theory.

I’m excited to see where Murphy takes this season of AHS. It looks very promising.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
