Agreed. The first two were phenomenal, coven wasn't terrible, was just like one log chick flick tho. Started really declining with freakshow, which was still good in it's own weird sick way but in the shadow of the first two seasons what can you really expect, when you peaked in the very beginning there's nowhere to go but down lol.

believe it or not, I think the scariest moment is when Lana escapes from bloodyface and gets into a car trying to get somewhere safe and then the guy driving suddenly looses his mind and drives the car off the road. It scares me since it could indeed happen in real life. I was also like 'Oh come on!' Does this woman just a magnet for psychos!?' Also considering that Devil's night episode, maybe people then should have known the Monster series done by the same guy was not going to be all that honorable to the victims😰

The first five seasons of American Horror Story are outstanding, with some bright spots in Apocalypse and 1984. TBH? I don't recall much about the first part of Double Feature (Red Pill? Red Tide?), but Death Valley was engaging/ memorable--plus yum it's Isaac Powell and Nico Greetham 🔥

The most shocking/upsetting scenes from each season in my opinion: 1. Tate shooting up the school 2. Lana's conversion therapy 3. Hank shooting up the salon 4. Dandy killing the freaks 5. Sally sewing herself to her friends 6. Getting burnt at the stake 7. Meadow shooting up the rally and then herself 8. The poisoned apples 9. Ramirez gutting a random guy and displaying his body in the locker room 10. Doris transforming into a creature after the pill doesn't take 11. Revealing Mr. Whitely's creation 12. Anna eating the raccoon carcass

The concept of Alien Human hybrids is nothing new. It's what Scully gave birth to in the X-Files. And electro shock therapy (ECT) wasn't just given to gay people. It was once considered an accepted medical treatment to anyone with any mental health or neurological disorder like epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia and so on. It's still used today but the patient is no longer conscious.

That moment, seeing Lana and Jude get shocked was upsetting, especially the latter, due to the amount of voltage that she was given to practically fry her brain, but at least it did get us that iconic sequence of Jude envisioning herself singing The Name Game

That scene witch The Lizard Girl I couldn't agree more upon... The episodes with the Alien encounters and the one with the evil clowns look very interesting..wich one was the Alien out of? Most scary scene I think was in the opening op AHS: hotel with that living body inside of the matras..that was disturbing..also just after that the police investigation thing...I can't remember fully but someone was crucified or something..don't know have to watch it again but it was really sinister.... -Best scene in AHS ever I think was That one with Neil Patrick Harris doing a sawtrick..every appearance of him was great and a fun villain..I loved his desillusion with the doll: "Marjorie, we may stay here" epic

The only thing that was good about apocalypse was the fact that they managed to tie everything together and bring everybody back. That was cool. But other than that 🤷🏾‍♂️ but what do I know? I'm in the minority. One of my favorite seasons is Roanoke most people don't think that. most people think that's when the show starts to suck.

I'd say post cult is where the writing became its absolute laziest, Roanoke was utterly horrendous, Apocalypse was too short with pacing issues, Hotel was largely a Gaga fest. For me the last good original idea was 1984, new cast, fan made opening and felt like a fresh start. If AHS took a hiatus for a while and actually worked on writing and giving the OG cast a break it would be better
