And here we are at season 8.


I'm really hoping this is a return to the earlier feel of the show. (I haven't loved the last few seasons, and they really missed a trick last season.)

My favorite is Coven. I felt like it was the most refined of all the seasons but still interesting. House is a close second. My least favorite of all the seasons by far is Freak Show.

I love American horror story! The fact that these actors and actresses can pull off such diverse parts is fascinating! And they never fail to have a storyline that entertains me.

I cannot watch horror movies, they creep me out so much! My boyfriend, however, is a very big fan, so I always try and find something I can manage to watch for him. That being said, I really enjoyed The Coven, even if I had tachycardia the whole time we've been watching it. :))

I find it really hard to say what's the best season as it's a show with great quality and fantasy in the different storylines. Watching the last one I felt that they tried too hard to put together the previous seasons.
Ciao :)

This show is so amazing. The best thing is that because each season is completely different, I love them for different reasons too. I haven't finished "Apocalypse" yet, but my favourite seasons so far were "Asylum" and "Cult". Holy cow, "Cult" blew my mind clean out of my skull. I really wanted more from "Coven", I felt like it had a lot of potential that wasn't tapped.

I am a huge fan of this TV series. I was very skeptical in the beginning when we were told that each season would be a completely different set-up and a new storyline. It is crazy how well this is working. I am starting to see a lot of limited tv series popping up now. I am assuming it is because American Horror Story is doing it so well.

I was starting to get a little disappointed with AHS storyline because I thought they weren't making the more recent seasons as strong as they were when they first started. I am happy, however, that they released American Horror Stories because I feel like needing to come up with different creepy episodes instead of one season solely based on one location or theme helps them connect back to the creativity they have at the beginning of each season that they have in AHS.

I didn't know what to expect from the TV series, but I ended up in love with the way every season has a different plot. I liked Asylum and The Hotel. I didn't really like Freak and Cult.

I liked the series too. It was quite intense. I really liked the themes that were presented as scary as they were. I appreciated it's ability to push boundaries in the horror genre.
