I have to admit, of all the new season TV shows I’ve watched the one I am most into is American Horror Story. It’s just so deeply, profoundly, utterly batshit, and kind of a delightful, compulsively watchable, mess. So far there have been three episodes and they have featured several murders (2 shootings, a stabbing, a drowning, someone getting cut in half with an ax, a girl getting hit in the head with a shovel, people being burned alive, mean ginger twins getting killed), some very sinister illegal abortions, a suicide attempt, a scene where a woman has sex with a ghost in a gimp suit, a lot of fetuses in jars, the attempted poisoning of a child, a girl getting her face scratched up by a creepy basement monster, a ghost maid who looks like a sexy young woman to men and like Ruth from Six Feet Under with a glass eye to everyone else, some animal parts getting sewn together, and an attempted rape. It’s one of those really intense camp horror things where the prospect seems to be to make people politically, sexually, and just viscerally uncomfortable in every way. I think it succeeds where a lot of TV horror fails because it’s on FX and so unafraid to go for the gross-out factor. Horror needs to be a bit vulgar to be effective.
