Ellen DeGeneres’s unfortunate commitment to “pranks” means that at some point she’s gonna piss you off by tormenting one of your favorite celebrities. Here it is for me.

Everyone processes grief differently. Some drink. Some smoke. Some buy beauty products and make kale salads. If you’re Ryan Murphy, disappointed and saddened by the 2016 presidential election that saw Donald Trump rise to power over Hillary Clinton, you cope the only way you know how: by making television. At its…

After what has felt like a very protracted promotional cycle, a trailer has been released for American Horror Story: Cult, providing the clearest glimpse yet into what will likely be a very bad season of television.

Ryan Murphy has been dropping very confusing screenshots of the new season of American Horror Story on his Instagram to give fans a chance to guess what this year’s nightmare will be. Unsurprisingly, the decontextualized image of a man covered in bees didn’t in any way prepare us for this season’s title. It’s Cult.

Ryan Murphy has finally unleashed on Instagram the final clue as to what the title of the upcoming season of American Horror Story will be. Like everything Murphy does, the collection of assorted clues is inscrutable and slightly frustrating, but will probably make us all feel very stupid for overthinking things in…

Life imitates art and art makes us relive all the worst parts of life over and over again.

Ryan Murphy will continue to give you opening credits-induced nightmares, as American Horror Story is returning for a seventh season.

Contrary, it seems, to the rumors that AHS would turn in the direction of The Hills Have Eyes and all the homicidal incestuous gore that connotes, Wednesday night’s premiere focused on a different, truly American horror story: the mysteries of Roanoke, the North Carolina colony that, in year 1587, effectively…

Do you watch American Horror Story anymore? I don’t either. Despite being impressed with Lady Gaga’s acting and intrigued by Evan Peters’ interpretation of H.H. Holmes, I bailed on Hotel halfway through the season, much in the same way I bailed on Freak Show. That said, these promos for Season 6—theme unknown—are…

Ryan Murphy’s comedy-horror series, Scream Queens, is getting a second season, and it’s not taking place at a summer camp as previously speculated. This time, the setting will be a hospital filled with cases of strange medical disorders. Unlike with Murphy’s show, American Horror Story, the actors will be returning in…

Devil’s Night is the evening before Halloween, and in the Hotel universe—and at the Hotel Cortez itself—that means the most notorious serial killers in American history gather for a formal feast at the forever home of Mr. James March, whom they refer to as “The Master.” Well—the dead serial killers, anyway. It’s their…

The first half of Wednesday’s episode of American Horror Story: Hotel was meandering and a bit slow, though it did properly and definitively identify lavender as the devil’s scent. (Thank you, Ryan Murphy.) The second half, though, got the jolt it desperately needed: a bit of plot tension and, more crucially, Angela…

H.H. Holmes was an American serial killer of the 1800s who built a hotel in Chicago specifically for the purpose of carrying out his gruesome crimes, including rooms that sealed shut so he could asphixiate, gas, or burn his victims alive. His killing abode was called the “Murder Castle”; his story is fascinating,…

American Horror Story’s Evan Peters has—what some might call—a smoking hot quality and new stills from the upcoming season of the series, American Horror Story: Hotel, suggest that his awooooga-ness remains intact. Peters, now gussied up like a 1930s casanova (more specifically, an evil casanova), is still a total…

During a panel at the Television Critics’ Association press tour, American Horror Story co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk revealed new information about Hotel, the horror anthology’s upcoming fifth season.

This past weekend, I found myself walking into the the Brooklyn Academy of Music and staring up at a poster of a man with thalidomide-stunted limbs awash in bold primary colors.

American Horror Story fans can now rejoice in the possibility that Lily Rabe will be joining the upcoming Hotel. While Rabe has appeared in the four previous seasons of the horror series, the last time she played a major character was on Coven, when she was Misty Day, a Stevie Nicks-obsessed swamp witch. She made a…

Entertainment Weekly held their annual “Women Who Kick Ass” panel at Comic-Con. The guests included Kathy Bates from American Horror Story, Gal Gadot, who’s playing Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman, Gwendoline Christie who plays Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones, Jenna Coleman of Doctor Who and Hayley Atwell from …
