The second-to-last episode of American Horror Story: Asylum has arrived, guys! We open in 1967, a few years after the main events at Briarcliff.  We see Kit’s home at night, with a photo showing he is still living with Alma and Grace.  As we move through the home, we see

Read our episode recap of American Horror Story: Asylum. Skim, two percent, or whole?  What do you prefer, guys? We open with modern-day Bloody Face smoking in his apartment (lots of smoking on this show).  There is a knock at the door, and a well-endowed African-American prostitute enters, calling herself

Welcome to 2013 American Horror Story: Asylum fans!  Here is an episde recap for the new year , so let’s get to it! This week’s episode, “The Name Game,” referred to an episode not only about identity, but also to the practice of “naming” a demon during exorcism, all wrapped

Pregnancy was the main theme in last week’s episode, though this being American Horror Story, that episode was of course called “The Coat Hanger.” We open in the modern day, with a man claiming to be named John Morgan (Dylan McDermott) meeting a therapist (called Dr. Gardner) who may be

I’ve always enjoyed how American Horror Story has found ways to tie itself into the holiday season (last season surprised us by ending in a rather sweet way around Christmastime) and this last week’s Christmas episode proved to be fun in its own way, though not without some missteps. We

And we’re back!  This week American Horror Story livened things up with a fun appearance by Frances Conroy (who played the older version of Moira last season) as the Angel of Death, proving that even when this show is filled with enough characters and plotlines that it seems ready to

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Nothing says “spending time with family and loved ones” like an episode where we learn about a serial killer’s mommy issues and how a mad scientist reasons why it’s OK to turn everyday humans into horrific mutants with boils all over their faces.  I love this show!

And now the triumphant conclusion! Last week a woman was admitted to the asylum claiming to be Anne Frank and denouncing Dr. Arden as a Nazi doctor named Hans Gruper, which has caused Sister Jude to be suspicious.  Kit and Grace were set to be sterilized after being caught making

This probably has been my favorite episode of the season thus far, even though the conclusion to all the story lines will have to wait until next week, as it is a two-parter.  With each episode we’re peeling back the layers of Briarcliff and learning more and more secrets about

It was eerily coincidental that the most recent episode, “Nor’easter,” centered around a large storm hitting Briarcliff when our own modern day east coast is also facing the storm of the century.  “A storm is coming” also tends to be the most overused trope in the history of fiction, but

It’s back! The second episode of this season starts off right where it ended, with modern-day Teresa getting attacked by the “real” Bloody Face.  She runs screaming through the abandoned asylum back to Leo’s body, trying to wake him up.  Yet when the monster gets too close she is forced

Oh boy it’s FINALLY here!  Last year’s American Horror Storywas one of the biggest surprises on television, and it was even more of a surprise to discover that the show itself would be handled as a mini-series, with Season 2 being an entirely new world and set of characters.  I
