On this DirtCast Halloween special, Megan is joined by the ghost of a Victorian man named Madeleine to talk horror movie special effects—specifically, the spine-chilling magic of makeup. From Day of the Dead to Twisty the Clown, gruesome special effects have infiltrated mainstream pop culture in recent years, becoming…
From the campy Glee to the Emmy-sweeping American Crime Story, Ryan Murphy knows how to give us exactly what—and who—we want. Now that he’s signed a multi-year, multi-hundred million dollar deal with Netflix, it’s clear we’ll be watching Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Connie Briton, Jessica Lange, and the rest of the…
The great promise of American Horror Story: Apocalypse, the latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s entertainment multiverse, is that by the fifth episode of this season, there will be a twist unlike anything they’ve ever done. It’s a lofty proposition for a show that takes risks with every season, not all of which pay…
There has been absolutely nothing exciting about American Horror Story since Myrtle Snow screamed “BALENCIAAAAGAAAAAA” before being burned at the stake in the show’s third season, but buckle up, nerds: That changes now!
Every season of American Horror Story starts out promising then goes wildly off the rails. It’s the case with most Ryan Murphy productions from Popular to the present—Feud, the American Crime Story anthologies, and Pose being some recent exceptions.
I was a true devotee of the first few seasons of American Horror Story, but I dropped off during Freak Show, which was just a tad too fucked up for me to muddle through before bed. So it is with great anticipation that I await AHS: Apocalypse, which is supposedly something of a mashup of seasons one and three—with…
It’s *checks calendar* the seventh month in our first year of hell. That means this announcement about the eighth season of American Horror Story is right on time.
This past season of American Horror Story tackled, in addition to murderous clowns and nail gun torture, the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, a true horror I only just stopped waking up in the middle of the night to sweat over. (Just wait until we go to war!) And indeed, it appears even the cast of AHS:…
On Tuesday, CBS News reported that the “Murder House” featured in the first season of the FX TV series American Horror Story is embroiled in a lawsuit filed by its current owners.
Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story: Cult made the correct decision to edit out a violent mass shooting scene that was supposed to feature heavily in the sixth episode of the show, TMZ reports.
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…
