An American Horror Story Season 1 - eps 1 -4

 American Horror Story - My take so far from the first 4 episodes

Wow.. where to begin!  Ghosts.  Nightmares.  Creepy dead kids.  Dead things in mason jars.  Scary haunted house. Oh my!  And this only from the pilot.  An American Horror Story is engaging, creepy, scary, sexy and dam entertaining.  I must admit the pilot did creep me out ALOT.  I was afraid of waking up to a man in a rubber suit above my head.  Or a sweet little girl with down syndrome in a yellow dress saying "You're going to die in here.".  All i can say is that after the first episode i really really liked it.

Looks like something from the Matrix

The show likes to tease us with tons of what-was-that and who-is-this moments.  I feel as if i am watching Lost again except this time I have to make sure i have clean underwear and all the lights on.  Here is my first impression so far:

Ben is a sex maniac.  I mean the guy LOVES sex.  Who cheats on their wife in their own house let alone in their own bed while the wife is pregnant.  Ben does thats who!  I mean seriously buddy cant you just for once say NO.  The maid Moira - which he sees as a hot dolled up red-headed french maid and his wife sees as an old maid is genius writing in my opinion - basically introduces herself to him licking her lips and like dusting his chest with that feather dusty thingy.  Seriously dude.. masterbate more often or something.. oh yes thats right he did and instead of doing it in private like most people he does it standing in front of his bedroom window so good ol Two Face can see him.  WTF!! 

Vivien seems to be the most normal character of the show.  Yet very very vulnerable.  I still dont understand why she would stay with her husband and how moving across country can fix their relationship but hey i guess there wouldnt be a show now.  She is pregnant and its not gonna be good. Last weeks episode she started to bleed from you-know-where.  At the Dr's office she said that as soon as she went in the house it stopped.. interesting.  I feel that this is a setup to whats to come.  She and the family decide to move. She starts to bleed and realizes that the bleeding only stops when she is at that home.  Because she wants this baby sooooo much she will do ANYTHING to keep it.. including living in this house. I thought the interaction she had with the socialite wife of the doctor from the 20s was fucking CREEEEEPY and AWESOME!

Violet?

Violet is a mess.  You mix teenage hormones, cheating dads, an insane "ghost-boyfriend" and the Leprachaun coming to kill your enemy in your basement you got serious problems.  Lets also state that she does have a ghost dog as well.  One moment he is with her in bed.. the next he is not!!!  I also think Violet needs to not just take kickboxing classes but also acting classes.. she is not a favorite of mine.







Now the Others..
If this were Lost they would refer to the ghosts or the neighbors as the others. I am just going to refer to everyone else in the show as ghosts.. i have no clue otherwise what the hell they are yet.

Addie and Constance remind me of a circus act.  Constance who is played brilliantly by Jessica Lange is perfect in every way.  Her character rocks and i hope she stays on the show longer.  Her daughter Addie doesnt just like the scary house.. She LOVES ITTT!!!  Somehow or another she is just always there.  I dont get it.  Dont the Harmon's know how to lock a fucking door!!!!  I am still up in the air with who these 2 are and how important they are to this story.  We saw last week that Constance walked into her cheating husband and shot him and the young Moira (in her eye!!)  This simple answer that everyone wanted to know was answered (sarcasm of course)  "Why does the old Moira have a messed up eye".. well folks this is why.   Already the show is answering questions quicker than 6 seasons of Lost!  Addie is used in such a great way.  She obviuosly has downs syndrome but somehow this just makes the characters so much creepier and scary. The girl certainly has a sixth sense as she plays ball with something in the basement.  But what is she?  Are they alive?  Ghosts?  A manifestation of the house?

Totally can see a resemblance

Next we have Tate.  He is probably every father's nightmare.. or maybe everyone's nightmare. I mean the guy is FUCKED UP!!  This guy, along with Addie, always seem to find their way in the house.  In the last episode we see Constance walking by the house and seeing Tate in the window.  She is trying to talk to him via sign language or some shit when the realtor notices this.  The camera then pans back to the window from her point of view and we see nothing in the window.  This is the first real indication that he is obviously not real.  I mean there were other subtle hints like him just happening to be in the house when the copycat killers were terribly failing at pretending to be killers.  And then the other time when Violet's enemy..dont remember her name.. was vistied and scratched or bitten by that Leprechaun/Wicked Witch of LA.   But this is the first time that we saw that somebody else didnt see him.  I am wondering if he is only visible in the house.


The maid(s) Moira.  I need a young maid and an old maid.. a young maid and an old maid.. oh wait wrong movie.  Moira reminds me of the house takers from the movie The Others..which is fantastic if you never saw it.  It appears that she was shot by Constance in the eye and is somehow being used by her.  She wishes that Constance was dead yet she doesnt do anything to stop being bossed from her.. hmmm..

Is this the new Brat Pack!!

Ok so what do we know so far.  We know that Moira, Constance and Tate are killing mofo's and cleaning up the mess.. but why?  Is Tate the son of Constance?  After they somehow miraculously removed the bodies and cleaned the entire house of blood and fingerprints before the cops get there, they have a conversation about "them" doing the killing and that they need to hide the evidence so Tate can continue getting medicine.  What is the medicine doing.. making him kill people??

Two Face?

Larry aka the man who set his house and family on fire aka the burned man aka Two Face is one strange dude. What is his obsession with Ben?  Is this guy a ghost too?  How many fucking ghosts are in this show?  Last episode, Ben's crazy ex lover pays him a visit.  I am surprised that she didnt just appear inside the house like everyone else does. Instead she actually rang the bell!  Two Face beats the shit out of her with a shovel and it just so happens that Ben already pre-dug a hole for the body.  I am wondering just how deep Ben dug that hole because it would have taken Two Face 3 days to dig that hole with his bum arm.  Its going to be interesting to see where this goes.  Ben is already in trouble for the suicide attempt of one of his patients and now this.  Let's also not forget that the crazy copy-cat killer who blew chunks all over the house paid Ben a visit as well.  So this will be 3 bodies all linked to this house and to Ben.. hmmmmm... Where is Dexter when you need him.

A few things..

Constance is a cougar.  And dont even think about calling her out on this or you will get locked in a room full of mirrors

The Harmon's security company should be non-existent.  I mean there are people just always showing up in the house like they have the key and the alarm code.
 
Violet's mean girl friends seriously need to watch the movie Mean Girls to get a better understanding of their industry.. i mean seriously??  You get an opportunity to score some blow from the girl you hate and you take it.. shame on you!

Ok so Vivian seriously needs to think before doing.  A scary neighbor who threatens to kill you shows up at your house to apologize with muffins.  Without even thinking you take one and begin to eat it. Helloooooo you are with child and this crazy neighbor has done nothing at all to show that those muffins were from Entermans!!

The Harmon's i think have a dog. Unless it is a ghost as well.  In 1 episode the dog is on the bed with Violet then never to be seen again.  Violet leaves the muffins outside her door on the floor.. ummm.. wouldnt the dog chow that down in like milliseconds!

If your wife calls you and you miss it once you are in trouble.. but 13!! come on!  And how the hell did Ben get home so fast.  Wasnt he all the way in Boston???

Last but not least.. the rubber man.. Its not a mystery as to who the father could be but is this thing?  Was it in fact Ben and the camera/timelines were fucking with us?  Probably not.  I think tonights episode we get back to the Rubber Man..

more to come..
