American Horror Story

I was really down in the dumps after the 31st.  We dismantled and put all of our yard haunt away on Nov. 1st.  Halloween clean up sucks.  The decoration process comes on slowly, building up more and more as the month passes, with a grand decorating rush the last few days and then BAM, it's over.  No more JOL's, no more skulls, no more tombstones, it just vanishes.

So after two people, in the same day, told me that I HAD to check out FX's new series, "American Horror Story", I gave it a look and boy, was I glad that I did! I felt like I had found my post-Halloween shoulder to lean on :)

This show is intriguing.  It has bits and pieces of classic horror movie material in it.  It's a bunch of old tales and tid-bits told in a new way, with a few modern day horror tales mixed in. 

The show takes place in modern day and based around a troubled family that has recently moved in, from another town, to get a "fresh start". Immediately, they realize that the old house that they have moved into, has a very disturbing history.  Each episode kicks off with a flash back to the demise of former tenets of the house. These clips foreshadow what kind of antics and characters the newest tenants will be encountering. 

You can see it on FX, Wednesday nights at 10PM (ET). 

I highly recommend it.  It's a nice way to cling on to our season and also a fresh way to enjoy some of our favorite creepy tales and urban legends.
