So, haven't seen a thread on this show yet. Personally, I'm stoked. I loved AHS asylum, and the commercials for this coming season look awesome. The consistent floating bodies definitely make me think something along the lines of voodoo might be a factor in this season. Not sure, and I haven't done much research into the symbolism. If anybody else is psyched post in here. If it's a repost, my bad.

Great show.

I remember when I first saw ads for that show and blew it off as another shitty horror show/movie coming up. Ended up watching it somehow and twas very surprised. Good mix of gore, plot, and horror.

from what I've read the three are independent of each other? I'd rather watch asylum first just because I like the theme, but don't wanna miss out on anything

ya the seasons are all their own stories with their own characters

i personally liked season 1 a lot more then 2, but thats not to say 2 wasn't a good show. Deff worth watching both seasons if you are new to the series, it is a great show

It's a horror story, lots of blood and death and other creepy/messed up shit. The actors stay the same, but play different characters each season, and each season is a unique story that has nothing to do with the one before or after. Well written, well acted, great style/art direction for the type of show it is. It's on netflix.

Pumped. Sons of anarchy and American horror story are both pretty sweet shows.

Wow, Gabrielle Sidibe playing a minor character on one season of a TV show... man, her career really took off!

Howard Stern was right. No one in Hollywood would put her in any kind of serious role because of her weight. She served her purpose in Precious.

plus many episodes play homage to other classic horror movies and stories, making it like the ultimate horror story ever.

I do like how none of the seasons are tied into each other. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love when it's a good plot that plays well throughout an entire series. But for the setup of this show, I think it just works well to tell a new story with each season. The cinematography is extremely good, and it really helps provide the eery feeling around the show. I've watched a lot of horror films, but honestly this show has made me feel way more uneasy and utterly creeped out than any horror movie has.

Does anyone know the plot of this one? I saw the commercial and what looks like someone buried and half dead or something...I loved the first two seasons a ton. The second was a little too much because I didn't know what the fuck was going on...like aliens and zombies that were in the woods were a little too much. The aliens tied in well though haha ironic how the asylum discredited any of the info he gave even though it was true.

Am I the only one that couldnt stop picturing the character from season 1 in season 2 because they are the same actors?

First two seasons were unexpectedly fantastic. The first season got a little too campy in places, a somewhat jarring tone shift, but still really good. Loved Asylum, and I have high hopes for this season.

I really like the idea of telling a new story every season, it keeps things fresh narratively, but continues on a lot of the same themes and ideas. Also, keeping actors is brilliant, and I'd imagine as an actor it would be really interesting to continue to tackle a new role in the same production environment.

Can't wait for this!

So far it's been even more fucked up than the first two seasons. It's really great though

Same.

I fucking love this show, and this season looks to be phenomenal. What I love are all the same actors, but every season is a different story. So its fun to see the actors play different roles, and they've done it so freakin' well.

This show does not disappoint.

Love this series so much. This season as far is a little mellow though. Hopefully it starts picking up.

First season was a haunted house, second was an asylum now this season is about a witch school I guess.

My old lady has been forcing me to watch it with her since the first season. It's sounds gay but it ends up being entertaining. Only thing to look forward to on Wednesday nights.
