When you think of
Wednesday do you think of the movie Mean Girls? Well, I think of American Horror
Story.
On Wednesday
October 8th a new season of American Horror Story premiered on the
channel FX. If you didn’t know each season of American Horror Story (AHS) has a
set theme. The first season’s theme was Murder House, the second Asylum, the
third Coven, and the fourth and current season is Freak Show. AHS Freak Show is
set in Jupiter, Florida in the year 1952.
Freak Show tells
the story of one of the last freak shows in North America. The freak show is
run by the German expatriate Elsa Mars (played by Jessica Lange), a woman who
desperately wants to be a star one day. The freak show includes acts by a
bearded woman (Kathy Bates), a man who has a finger deformation (Evan Peters), the
smallest women in the world (Jyoti Amge), and many others. The freak show is
struggling when the ringleader Elsa discovers a pair of Siamese twins named Bette
and Dot (Sarah Paulson), which she believes will pull them out of the ground.
Aside from the madness at the freak show, there have been mysterious murders
and kidnappings, which have been made by a demonic clown named Twisty.
If you like
anything creepy or disturbing American Horror Story Freak Show is the show for
you. AHS Freak Show also includes the song Carousel by Melanie Martinez in the trailer;
the song sums up the show very well, so if you like the show I suggest you give
it a listen. The season premiere of American Horror Story deserves a Wildcat
roar of four stars out of five.
Also in the news
about AHS, they have already announced a fifth season because of how many views
the first episode got. With the news of the new season, they mentioned that
there are hints of the fifth season’s theme in the first two episodes of Freak
Show. From watching the first episode I have made two predictions for the fifth
season. One of my predictions is that it will deal with outer space, the reason
being that the town they live in is named Jupiter, and the second is that
Elsa’s last name is Mars. My other prediction for season five is dealing with
show business such as Broadway, the reasons are that Elsa has a dream to one
day be a big star and she strives to find as much potential in the other
“freaks” acts. If you are into anything creepy (except clowns), I highly
recommend that you watch American Horror Story Freak Show because it will give
you Goosebumps all over.
