candall June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 I love a good horror flick and most of AHS had me happily peeking at the screen between my fingers. (Try it, it really works!) But the torture in S.3 pushed the line for me and then Salem zoomed right on past. Did not enjoy. So now I'm worried. The whole point of freakshows in the first place was to elicit a gross-out reaction. And of course Ryan is going to use a hydraulic lift to set the bar for Season Four. And if we're talking about the '50's, there weren't any statutory protections, much less any townie interference based on moral outrage or the as-yet-uncoined term "political correctness." Basically, there must've been a lot people living in hell on the carnival circuit, even without jolting it up a few notches for optimal viewer squick. You have to WANT to peek for the system to work. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1572-freak-show-speculation-and-spoilers/#findComment-157479

Yeah, it wasn't a real pinhead; it was a regular (that seems weird to say, but I can't think of a better way to phrase it at the moment) actress who played Pepper. She had an article in EW describing how she became Pepper. It's crazy what makeup can do. I am cautiously optimistic for this season. I think because of the movie Freaks, carnivals in general just freak me out - I haven't actually been scared or disturbed by any of the seasons except Asylum, but I think this one, if done correctly, will leave me very unsettled.

I love the creepy intro music they used in Seasons 1 - 3 too much to let it go. I'm cautiously optimistic. All 3 seasons started out SO ENTERTAINING then towards the end the storyline went in too many directions, too convoluted. (with the exception of Murder House.) PLEEEASE Ryan Murphy don't take this into 10,000 different directions !! eta I'm especially looking forward to this season, because of an experience I had in the late 60s as a very young impressionable girl.I BEGGED my Father to take me into one of the sideshows at the local carnival. (sideshow = freakshow.) he was reluctant because he felt it was really exploitive.(he explained it to me in 'child' speak of course.) I still begged him, I wanted to see the "Wildman of Kilamanjaro" My Dad relented. We went into the freak show and let me tell you - it scarred me for life. It was a mentally disabled man CHAINED up. I was aware and mature enough to realize this. The poor man chained up screamed when we all looked at him & we all screamed back and ran out. I cried all the way home. My Dad saying he was sorry all the way home. HORRIFYING!!!

Not to say he wasn't being exploited but I'm hoping it was his job to scream and carry on whenever somebody came in and that he was treated like a person the rest of the time. It might have been that way. A doctor I know told me he once went into a sideshow to verify whether a certain sideshow attraction was on the level and he said that he looked carefully and indeed a woman had the ability to blow smoke rings from her vagina.
