Category: Movies / Editorials

This year’s season of American Horror Story has finally arrived at an ending, and what a wild ride it’s been. Unlike season one, which often felt like it was being written by a deeply stupid child, American Horror Story: Asylum offered a more thought-out story with the added weight of minor themes and emotional resonance, as though it had been written by a deeply stupid teenager. It was a better show. Maybe a less accidentally entertaining show, but a better show all the same.

Now all we can do is shift through the bones of “American Horror Story: Asylum“ and see what we turn up. Warning: None of this will make sense to those who have not seen the show, and only 30% will make sense to those who have. READ MORE

Will a major spoiler warning in advance, concept designer Jerad S. Marantz has hit his blog with several pieces of art from this past season of FX’s “American Horror Story: Asylum.”

The insane gallery features looks at Bloody Face, the teased aliens, as well as some tragic victims of Dr. Arden’s experiments.

The concepts were created for makeup FX artist Christian Tinsley. “Coming up with the look and feel of these characters is a collaborative effort and I love how the project pushes Design further every year. Asylum took a lot of work, much more than season one. There was so much to do and it was a lot of fun,” said Marantz. READ MORE

As I continue to struggle through the bland and ominous season finale of “American Horror Story: Asylum,” FX has released a behind-the-scenes look at episode 12, “Continuum,” which aired last week.

For those who have yet to enter the asylum, this is the kind of clip that will turn you off from ever watching FX’s “American Horror Story: Asylum“ – but it shouldn’t be taken out of context.

In the clip from this past Wednesday’s episode, Sister Jude Martin, played by Jessica Lange, has just had electroshock therapy and has thus gone into a state of euphoria. From it comes a bizarre rendition of “The Name Game.”

In this season, “Set in 1964, “Asylum” takes us into a Church-run haven for the criminally insane, ruled with an iron fist by Sister Jude, a nun with a troubled past. Inside this locked down facility, danger lurks around every corner. From Nazis and serial killers, to mutants and aliens, no one is safe inside these walls.” READ MORE
