Ffiferoo March 18, 2014 Share March 18, 2014 Apparently next season is going to be set at a carnival. This has potential to be super awesome, and I will probably be too scared to watch it. I think the most interesting thing for me will be to hear about how they're incorporating recurring cast members into new roles. So far I know Jessica Lange had said something about having a German accent, but that could be anything. 1 Link to comment
margol29 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 (edited) I read somewhere that season 4 will be Jessica Lange's last season with AHS. I hope this is not true. I can't imagine this show without her. Boo Hoo!!!! Tara Ariano, I want to play Whiskee-Ball! Edited March 28, 2014 by margol29 Link to comment
maraleia March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 At the Paley Fest tonight Ryan announced that Michael Chiklis will be playing Evan's dad and Kathy's ex-husband. He was also in attendance and was marveling at the enthusiasm of the fans at the event.

ShadowHunter July 1, 2014 Share July 1, 2014 Netflix did not start streaming S1 until S2 had already started and S2 once S3 started. If they keep going like that it wont start to stream till S4 has begun. 1 Link to comment

JBC344 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 Yeah, it has been about a year. You would think that they would stream the 3rd season now so that some people can either watch or re-watch it, to be ready for Season 4. I know each season is different so they are not dependent on each other but streaming the 3rd season now would just be good advertising. 2 Link to comment
LeighAnne August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) Ryan Murphy's obsession with actor Matt Bomer (White Collar) continues. Bomer will guest star on one episode of Freak Show next season. Previously: Bomer was on an episode of Glee Bomer was on an episode of The New Normal Bomer was a supporting actor in The Normal Heart Bomer and his husband, publicist Simon Halls, have three sons: Kit , Walker, and Henry. Evan Peters's character in Asylum was named Kit Walker. Edited August 25, 2014 by LeighAnne 1 Link to comment

Valny October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 (edited) I read somewhere that season 4 will be Jessica Lange's last season with AHS. I hope this is not true. I can't imagine this show without her. Boo Hoo!!!! I'm sorry to say it is true, margol29. I was very sad when I had read she wasn't coming back. It was like a gut punch. Yes, it definitely won't be the same without her, she was the constant through them all and I adored what she brought to her amazing characters. She may have chewed the scenery but I didn't care because it was so much fun watching her do it. She could do no wrong in my book. It would be great if she change her mind... Or maybe even do a little guest spot in the next season,if there is one....and there better be! Did everyone see this promo? This is the first real promo I've seen. Paulson and Bates are grabbing me already just from this video. I don't have a sense of what Lange's character is yet since she doesn't have any dialogue in this promo, but I'm sure she won't disappoint. BTW- the guy in the first shot who says "Where are the freaks?" Where have I seen him before? Edited October 1, 2014 by Valny 2 Link to comment
joelene October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 (edited) BTW- the guy in the first shot who says "Where are the freaks?"

jnymph October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 Holy shit !!!! That promo video was incredible..... I'm much more psyched up now. I loved the big, gothic monster plastic gaudy thingy leading into the carnival. The scenery looks like it's going to be the type that transports you ... right to 50's Florida. I'm gonna become OPTIMISTIC rather than cautiously optimistic now. Don't let me down, Ryan Murphy ! Thank you for posting that Valny ! Link to comment
SistaLadybug October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I enjoyed that promo. Even the tinkling of the "carnival" music in the background of the theme song thrilled me. I'm looking forward to this. I hope it doesn't start to come apart at the seams the way "Coven" did. 1 Link to comment

Watermelon October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I swear! It's like Ryan isn't afraid of clown(He isn't) so he proceeded to put ALL the clowns he could in the intro. I already have 2 friends who preemptively quit weeks ago at the mere thought of evil clowns. 1 Link to comment

I already have 2 friends who preemptively quit weeks ago at the mere thought of evil clowns. He said in an interview he's not frightened by clowns but intrigued by others' fear so he threw in as many as possible. He also said a lot of the crew have to walk off set when they film the clown scenes. Sadistic much? Link to comment
psychoticstate October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I'm not freaked out by clowns but I was horribly let down by Coven. Didn't even finish the season. I'm not feeling optimistic about this one - - I caught a commercial last night during Sons of Anarchy and it just didn't move me. I was more freaked out by a commercial for that damn Annabelle movie.

Guest October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 (edited) At Sunday night's red carpet premiere, Jessica Lange blew off Lea Michele in the most glorious way. ETA: For those familiar with TLC's doc, "The Woman with Half a Body," Rose Siggins (the subject) has a decent sized role in this series. Here's an interview with Rose and some clips from the series. She's a really decent actress! Good for her. Edited October 7, 2014 by Guest Link to comment
Nutjob October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 (edited) Here's another extra featuring Mat Fraser, another one of the featured performers on the series. It's a really great interview, and it looks like he can act as well. Edited October 7, 2014 by Nutjob 2 Link to comment
Xazeal October 8, 2014 Share October 8, 2014 "The death rate will likely be the same"? I sort of doubt it. In every single season, all but one main character has died at least once. Death is apparently permanent this time around, so I don't think we'll see a lot of major deaths until halfway through. Or they'll just all die in the premiere. It's AHS. And I just realized that Sarah Paulson is the only actress who has survived every season. Impressive. Link to comment
Valny October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 And I just realized that Sarah Paulson is the only actress who has survived every season. Impressive. Oh wow, that's an interesting fact. And one more article before the premiere tonight! I love that the review says of S3..."their crummiest season, last year's tone-deaf Coven." I really wish Lily Rabe was coming back. Love her. She was a highlight for me last season in a less than great season. Fingers crossed she'll pop up later in the season. 1 Link to comment
Avaleigh October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 And I just realized that Sarah Paulson is the only actress who has survived every season. Impressive. This makes me wonder if I'm right in thinking that Lily Rabe is the only one of the main cast who has been killed in every season. Link to comment
Princess Sparkle October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) I think so since she's been in all three seasons, though both Dylan McDermott and Taissa Farmiga died in both seasons they were in. Edited October 9, 2014 by Princess Sparkle Link to comment
Captain Asshat October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 This makes me wonder if I'm right in thinking that Lily Rabe is the only one of the main cast who has been killed in every season. Depends on how technical you want to be. Frances Conroy was dead in Murder House, Death in Asylum, and killed in Coven (twice?). Link to comment

JakeyJokes October 18, 2014 Share October 18, 2014 http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/16/ahs-freak-show-exclusive-ryan-murphy-episode-two/ Ryan Murphy talks to Entertainment Weekly every week about AHS (he did this last season, too). It's always quite informative without being too spoiler-y. He shoots down speculation that Season 5 is space-themed: People are already thinking they’ve figured out season 5’s plot. Have you noticed if anyone has gotten it right?I’ve been looking and nobody has gotten it right. A lot of people are thinking it’s space-related due to Elsa’s song last week.No. We’re not doing space. Because space is not in America. It’s American Horror Story not Intergalactic Horror Story. But I thought the clues about people thinking it was space were clever. I always love it when people come up with these theories but it is 100 percent not space. It is land-bound and it takes place in the United States. 3 Link to comment
Guest Accused Dingo October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 I have heard rumors that the series is going to eventually tie all the individual seasons together. I would love season 5 to be a continuation of season 1. One of the minor complaints of Murder House is that it ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. Season 5 should be a Damien kind of storyline.

Beezel November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 (edited) I love all 4 of these people. I am obsessed with these "Extra-Ordinary Artists" interviews! Actually I'm impressed with RM for doing this (rare as that feeling is), because they make a great effort at giving us a little window into their perspective in being perceived as freaks/different. I like that you really get to see both the confidence and vulnerability of the actors. Ervin (Amazon Eve) got to me when talking about her family not accepting her. In contrast, I loved seeing the footage with Siggins (Suzi) and her children on set. Favorite part though was Matt Fraser's line about how people believe disabled people can't fight or have sex, so he is a black belt and excells at shagging. Ha! He's my favorite ever.

Attractive, English, and snarky? I'm smitten! AVC: What’s the reaction to your work been so far? MF: The reaction’s been 100 percent positive. I’ve had a lot of 19-year-olds tell me I’m hot, which, bless them, is super. But what can I say? They go, “You’re really, really hot” and I go, “Thank you.

Beezel November 15, 2014 Share November 15, 2014 That Bassett interview was pretty good. I liked the bit about Michael Chiklis getting all squeamish and that she seems so willing to just roll with the show. I did, however, think this was funny: It’s phenomenal, and that comes out of Ryan Murphy and his love and appreciation of women. He had a man cut out his tongue for one! Even the interviewer was like, uhh, the hell? Matt Fraser is very rapidly becoming my favorite person. The other thing is my projects. My career goes like this in Britain: Every five years I get on TV and everybody goes “Oh, it’s going to be the big time for you, Mat!” and I’m back on the stage of the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club naked and covered in fake blood as fucking usual! This made me laugh out loud. Also, I'm glad he was bold enough to snark about Sarah Paulson asking what she should say on Letterman/ not wanting to wrongly represent anyone. I have nothing personally against her and I bet she meant well, but that's still pretty condescending and obnoxious. Also love: However, when the monolithic corporations approach me wanting my story, I know where it’s going. I know the power of the edit, and I won’t do that. They won’t have me on Letterman, because I’m not bloody Sarah Paulson—I’m just some new flipper guy on the block. 1 Link to comment

Beezel November 22, 2014 Share November 22, 2014 (edited) It has been happening, yeah. I went to get ramen the other day and there were like three people whispering, “That’s Dandy! That’s Dandy!” It sometimes takes people a second because I don’t usually wear those curls, and I don’t wear that many ascots, in general. [Laughs] I get a lot of second looks or double takes. But, yeah, the reaction has been pretty surprising in its scope. Ha! I really liked his discussion about how he plays Dandy, since I do think he does such a great job making the character (somehow) sympathetic at times. So, I'm glad he's going for making him human and not just creepy. I want him to be in the next season so bad, but I agree only if he gets to play something really different. Love Dandy, but it would be bad for everyone if RM writes a character too much in the same vein. Homicidal man children can get old really fast like that.

That's a spot someone could have filled damn it!(so many other choices like Addie,burn guy Larry from S1, Angel of Death even! The Piggy guy from S1 also shouldn't be on that list either IMO. And Sister Jude should be a lot higher ranked IMO(or lower, depending on how you look at it) She'd be in my top five. 1 Link to comment
