American Horror Story ♰

There are two types of people in the world. Those who love scary movies or Tv shows and those who would much rather change the channel. This show was like a bomb in the Television industry. 

What is it about this TV show that makes it so popular... so likeable and so... different? The cast, the outfits, the mood, the story, the idea? For me it's simply everything. It is a mixture that when put together creates fear, assumptions and excitement. There is four series and each of them are different. The first one was set in a haunted house. Involved ghosts...spooky. How incredible is this intro!

It gives you a feel about the show... It scares you enough to not want to watch it. But then again it makes you intrigued... Do I or do I not. Yes... I do. The music gives off this addictive vibe that you just can't get enough of! 

This is the intro to the second season which is about an asylum. Mental home owned by mental people... I would say. What I find really interesting about all these intros is that they are almost separate from the episodes yet they are still an element of them. They give you that idea of all the emotions you might feel while watching the show... This programme is very psychological and that is represented in these intros, which are also very controversial. For a reason. 

This one must be one of my favourites... and definitely is an inspiration for this project. The setting is perfect, and I also really like how the visuals suit the music. This intro is really making you prepared for the episode, which is what it is meant to do... Also, this season is a lot about evil. The supreme witch wears black all the time which is meant to represent how bad of a person she is, whereas her daughter most of the time wears white.

These series also face racial issues. This is not a topic that I expected to come up on this show, and was quite surprised how big of a part of the show it was. However, the issue is not very obvious and you really have to follow all the clues included in the episodes, which I think was a very clever thing to do from the Director's point of view. Some people think it's all just a one, massive mess though.

"It's easy to see why American Horror is freaking people out. The ultraviolent hallucinations never pause long enough to make sense. In terms of coherence, it makes your average David Lynch movie look like Burn Notice. Murphy knows most of the viewers are only tuning in because it's got his name on it. And he wants them to notice how nobody at the network has the muscle to veto any of his craziest ideas. ("Gosh, Ryan, you're a genius! Tami Taylor fucking the gimp? But of course! Rubber suit, leather mask, can't lose!")"
