13 Days of AHS Day 6: American Horror Story Crossovers

Since we're in a crossover season of American Horror Story- I thought it'd be kind of fun to count all the crossovers from the other seasons. 1) MONTGOMERY- Although I'm not sure this technically counts as a crossover- our first clue of the seasons being connected was the name Montgomery... which we first see with Dr. Charles and Nora Montgomery in Murder House. Charles Montgomery is a doctor with a Frankenstein complex and Nora was an actress. Madison Montgomery in Coven is an actress that also has a Frankenstein complex. Of corse the only child Charles and Nora had became the Infantata and was confined in the murder house... but maybe Madison was of some relation. 2) Pepper and Sister Mary Eunice- I think there were 2 references to Asylum in Freak Show... for some reason I thought Dr. Arden... or maybe his brother or someone was the one to amputate Elsa's legs... but I could be wrong. Anyway Pepper was the first character we saw in multiple seasons and then it

13 Days of AHS: Why Coven Was The Best Season of American Horror Story

So in  Rewatching American Horror Story... I think Coven is my favorite season. I feel like every season has it's own charm and great aspects about it... even my least favorite seasons have something I like about them... but Coven is special for a lot of reasons. 1) It's The Funniest Of The Seasons  I think after the very dark season of Asylum... we needed at least a little bit of comic relief. Coven was very self aware of the campy nature of it... and I kind of like when American Horror Story goes there. 2) Jessica Lange as Fiona Goode Fiona Goode is this unstoppable, powerful woman that is portrayed as really sexy. She can have any man she wants, she wants one last love affair and she gets that with the axeman. I love that Ryan Murphy kind of isn't afraid to cast an older actress for this type of role. I feel like if this show was on The CW she would be a teenager or something... maybe Emma  Roberts would play her even... but he cast Jessica Lange and that is kind

13 Days of AHS Day 4: The Top 10 Best Characters

Okay... this is in no real order but when thinking of my favorite characters on American Horror Story... this is what happened! Hope you like it! 1) Michael Langdon (Murder House/ Apocalypse)  Michael Langdon has quickly become a favorite character this year on American Horror Story. Cody Fern plays him so well... and I just think there are a lot of layers to the character. He is the anti Christ and he does love killing people and everything... but at the same time he's almost like a teenager that doesn't quite know what he's doing... it's just very interesting and he's just been the most evil character that we've seen so far. It's just interesting to see this guy that we know is a bad guy is in charge... and running things. 2) Vivienne Harmon (Murder House)  For whatever reason I've always loved Vivienne Harmon. I can't explain why... maybe its just Connie Britton and her beautiful hair... maybe its just because she's a great character..

13 Days of AHS Day 3: Is James Patrick March Really Evil???

Hotel is one of my least favorite seasons of American Horror Story- but for some reason it's one of the only seasons I've seen all the way through 2 times... as of this point that is only Murder House, Hotel and I'm just finishing up the last episode of Coven for the first time since it aired also! Anyway... James Patrick March is an interesting Character as far as AHS Lore goes because while he seems very evil while he is alive... as a ghost he seems a little more lighthearted. I believe he only kills people in the afterlife if he believes it will benefit the hotel and its residents... and while he has done terrible things... there's almost a sympathy you have for him... especially in his Apocalypse scenes... James March killed Queenie- which was honestly one of the hardest deaths in any of the American Horror Story seasons. One of my main problems with Hotel was that Coven was great because Queenie was someone we cared about and she made it out alive with a happy

13 Days of AHS: Return To Murder House Review- Recap

So the most recent episode of American Horror Story: Apocalypse was exciting for a few reasons... 1) It was the return to the Murder House for the first time since season one. 2) We get the return of the Harmon Family and Tate... some of everyone's favorite characters in season 1. 3) Jessica Lange returns for the first time since Freak Show! 4) It is Sarah Paulson's directorial debut! So this episode had a lot going on with it to begin with... it was over an hour long... and it did not disappoint at all. I actually think it might be the strongest episode of the entire series and the best crossover the show has ever done. This episode followed Madison and Behold as they bought the Murder House and did a spell so that the spirits would appear and talk to them about Michael Langdon. We get to see some of the murder house resident ghosts... like The Harmon Family, Tate Langdon, Moira O'Hare, and of corse Constance Langdon reunited with 3 of her children. Madison and Behold

13 Days of AHS: Official American Horror Story Season Ranking for 2018

Okay guys... so you know I love Halloween and I love American Horror Story... so I thought I would talk about American Horror Story every day until Halloween. It's halloween-ish... and I love Talking about AHS... so I thought I'd do some reviews, maybe some theories... and I'm going to start with how I would rank the seasons today. This is subject to change... I feel like I always have a different view with it... but still. I will give you my rankings and my reasonings for the first 7 seasons. 7) Asylum-  I know this is a lot of people's favorite season... a lot of podcasts I listen to rank it highly... and I have to admit there are some great episodes in this season... but as a whole- there was almost no payoff from this season. I think the alien thing would have been good... had it not been in this season. I feel like the Adam Levine/ Jenna Dewan Tatum parts are just too cheesy and that didn't really need to be in the story at all... Dr. Arden's Monster

The ABC's of Me: My Life in 26 Letters and brief summaries of my years

Okay... so I feel like I'm late on this... but last year on my birthday my High School Algebra Teacher commented saying "Happy Alphabet Birthday" and I thought Ohhhhhhh that's cool I'm 26 there are 26 letters in the alphabet... that's cool... and right now it's actually June 12th at 11:51pm so it's almost my mom's birthday and I thought "HEY I'll post talking about my years for my blog and post it right before my 27th birthday that way it's still relevant! So here we go- let's talk about the years and what I did and I'll try to have a little bit of a One Word description with the letter correspondence to sum up the year.  It'll make sense once I do it. I'm also going to be a little vague on the situations that happen... but I'll try being kind of open about what happens... so yeah. Some real life people might be mentioned in this... I'll never mention anyone by name and I'm sure if I say anything negative

Scribbles About Movies: It (2017)

Happy October everyone! This month will probably be a lot of Spooky posts and some "birthday" Posts because it is my birthday on the 16th. I'm turning 23 for the 5th time... so I hope you guys like these posts. I think there are definitely going to be some short stories in here too... hopefully some good stuff! So before I really... get into my full review of the movie I need to say that I have seen the original years ago... and honestly- I didn't think it was that scary. I watched it in the daytime and while I found the stories about the characters compelling and Tim Curry is wonderful in everything that he does... I just did not really love the movie and I didn't think it was that scary. I was thinking I might find this one a little bit more compelling because this is apparently a little bit more like the book than the original movie... but... here's my snapchat post to sum up my feelings. And my review is pretty much the same. I think that advances

Mystical Monday: Zodiac Signs

I thought that for October it might be fun to talk about some more mystical things that aren't exactly creepy... but they seem October-y to me... so that's what I'll do in October. So I am not an expert in zodiac knowledge... so I guess I'll just kind of talk about my experience with it all. I'm a Libra- and I think that everything I've read about Libras is fairly accurate to my life. I do tend to look at things from both sides and think of every possible scenario and outcome to things. It also says Libras are indecisive... which is true for me and that they like the outdoors... which isn't exactly true for me... but I guess I can appreciate it. Like when I travel I like being outdoors. So I've always liked being a Libra. I think it applies to me and I kind of like it a lot. A lot of the signs kind of show up in my life a lot too. Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, and weirdly I'm pretty much always attracted to other Libras or Capricorns... especially Ca
