American Horror Story and Ravenswood.
Nov. 16th, 2024 05:36 amOver the course of October I unexpectedly revisited two shows that fit the mood and vibe of the season: American Horror Story (Murder House and Coven, respectively) and Ravenswood. And I kind of wanted to write my retrospective thoughts on both.
( American Horror Story: 'Murder House' and 'Coven' )
American Horror Story is a strange little show. It's an anthology series with recurring actors portraying different roles and none of the seasons really connect to one another, aside from American Horror Story: Apocalypse it seems, the promos and opening title sequences are more creepy in their aesthetics than the actual show is, and while it's still ongoing I barely hear much about the show these days. The last I heard about it was the season with Lady Gaga, only because it was Lady Gaga who was playing a vampire. Needless to say, Murder House and Coven remain my favorites and I enjoyed revisited them.
( Ravenswood )
In short, Ravenswood may have been a spin-off but it really was a show that stood on its own and had its own identity that existed outside of the main series and it deserved so much better.
