About the series

The nightmare of your dreams.

What it’s about

Each season of "American Horror Story" sets up a new nightmare in a different time and place. A family moves into a restored mansion where the dead do not rest; a journalist enters an asylum for criminally insane patients to profile a killer known as Bloody Face; a coven hides within a school for gifted girls. Later installments include a 1950s freak show, a hotel full of secrets, a California couple plagued by paranormal events, and a summer camp where the past is more dangerous than campfire tales.

What hooks you

The series has won Golden Globes for acting in 2012 and 2016, an Emmy for a supporting performance in 2013, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for a lead actress in a drama series. Ryan Murphy serves as executive producer, and the show has received Saturn Award nominations as best horror television series. Its cast includes Evan Peters, Connie Britton, Sarah Paulson, Russell Tovey, Denis O'Hare, and Joe Mantello, with many actors returning in new roles each season.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like horror that shifts shape, mixing period settings with supernatural dread and psychological tension. It will also suit viewers who enjoy recurring actors playing new characters from season to season.

Trivia

All facts 9
  1. The character Tate Langdon was named after Sharon Tate – the wife of director Roman Polanski, who was murdered by members of Charles Manson's group in 1969.
  2. Larry Harvey – the character with the burned face is named after the founder of the popular Burning Man festival.
  3. The Harmon mansion is a real building located in Los Angeles and known as the "Rosenheim House." It was built in 1908, designed by Alfred Rosenheim, president of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects and one of the city's most influential architects. The pilot episode was filmed in this house; for the filming of subsequent episodes, sets were built on the studio stages that exactly reproduced the interiors of the Rosenheim mansion.
  4. Angela Bassett plays the role of Marie Laveau — a real 19th-century voodoo queen from New Orleans who became a legend during her lifetime. The actress says she prepared seriously for the role and even consulted with local experts.
  5. The character played by Wes Bentley was mistakenly believed to have been a real person, but this turned out not to be the case. It was thought that he was a 19th-century aristocrat who suffered from diprosopus (or craniofacial duplication, an extremely rare hereditary condition). Supposedly he had a second face on the back of his head that could neither eat nor speak, but was said to be able to laugh and cry. It is claimed that he begged doctors to surgically remove the second face, but no one agreed to do so, as a result of which the aristocrat committed suicide at the age of 23. It turned out that all of this was a lie, and that the story was invented as a sensation for the newspaper the Boston Sunday Post in 1895.
  6. Writer and producer Ryan Murphy and Jessica Lange became so friendly while working on the first season that Murphy began consulting the actress when describing other characters. For example, as a result of Lange's advice, Jude's sister appeared in the second season, the elegant Fiona in the third, and moreover, the series owes the appearance of Elsa Mars, the owner of the freak show, to Lange's fascination with photography and the world of the circus (especially of the 1950s era).
