This was a highly anticipated season premiere, and the talk around the water cooler proved that the team behind American Horror Story had better bring their best. But did they? I say yes. Centered around witches, season three, aptly titled American Horror Story: Coven, is set in New Orleans, a place so witchy and mysterious that it’s been the inspiration for many a horror film and book. Take one look at the above ground crypts and oaks with their ghostly Spanish moss floating from their […]

This week’s Face Off gave us a cute mom connection, but it was also a bit heartbreaking. There’s so much talent this season that every cut seems unjust. Everyone tromps out to the L.A. Arboretum (I think?) to look at plants and learn they have to design a Mother Nature goddess figure, and include some aspect inspired by their own mothers. This gives us a chance to see adorable photos of everyone with their moms. I loved seeing Miranda as a kid in her little […]

The Unpainted set lets a girl customize her gory wounds to her villainess vision. OpenWoundFX crafts specialty FX props and latex prosthetics for […]

It seems that we’re on track to get some answers to the many questions on American Horror Story: Asylum. With story arcs rounding the bend, episode 9, “The Coat Hanger”, had some delicious innuendos. Season one favorite, Dylan McDermott, is back. But this time he is no mild mannered therapist. In fact, he is seeking help for a little problem he has. One of skinning and killing women. It was a fairly clear giveaway that McDermott was playing someone connected to Zachary Quinto’s Dr. Oliver […]

It’s Christmas at Briarcliff and it wouldn’t be complete without an evil Santa. Aptly titled “Unholy Night”, in this episode we see a homicidal maniac dressed in a Santa suit, courtesy of the amazing actor, Ian McShane. He plays Mr. Emerson with his trademark gruff demeanor, gravel voice, ability to dig down deep and a hidden undercurrent of anger that boils over when provoked leaving him committing horrible acts such as gnawing people’s faces right off, another nod to Hannibal Lecter. In 1962, Emerson killed […]

A trip to the junkyard gives the last five Face Off contestants the ingredients to build their own cyborgs. Does it matter if you don’t really know what a cyborg is? Kind of. It was funny watching the different reactions of each contestant when they entered the junkyard and found out they’d be building cyborgs. Roy (fabrication king) and Laura (Terminator fan, Sarah Connor-in-training) were delighted. Derek and Nicole were worried due to their lack of fabrication skill. Sarah was confused because Mennonite. During the […]

American Horror Story premiered October 5, 2011 on FX. The show, created by Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, was well received and gained an incredible fan base quickly. It went on to win multiple awards and garnered 3.2 million viewers for the pilot episode alone. In season one we were given the story of the Harmon family. Ben (Dylan McDermott), Vivien (Connie Britton) and their teenage daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga) moved from Boston to Los Angeles following Ben’s affair and Vivien’s stillbirth. The mansion they […]

The contestants try to step outside of their design comfort zones while working with the most immature clients ever, and a previously eliminated contestant returns on the Day of the Dead. Face Off! Can I just take a moment here to point out what a missed opportunity it is that Face Off has never had a hockey-themed challenge? Look at the name of the show, people! That phrase makes me think two things: hockey and leprosy (not John Travolta or Nic Cage). Come to think […]

On the season 3 premiere of Face Off, we learned which contestant is the biggest d-bag real quick. The reason for Patrick Tatopoulos leaving the show was revealed, Sean Astin might have been there for a second, and of course we got to see some talented people do amazing things. Seems on par. The season launched with brief intros for most of the artists, who were shuttled directly to a rooftop L.A. pool party populated by pretty people and Sean Astin, who yelled, “Mr. Frodo!” […]
