Pop culture: American Horror Story
This October the new season of American Horror Story started and if you haven't seen it you must start watching now. The cool thing about this show I feel is that you don't have to see the first season to follow the second. They are two different seasons with completely different characters some of the same actors but none of the same characters. The first season was set in modern times in a house where a doctor's wife had killed him ad himself. But they never said the house was haunted and never told the new owners that there were more deaths in the house that followed the doctors death. The first season is full of twists and turns. It's a very well written show that'll keep you guessing until the very end. The second season is has started an begins with a couple who has just been married and for their honeymoon they are traveling to some of the most haunted places in America. They end up at the asylum and go over the abandoned building's story upon entering. The plot starts there and then jumps back to the past and tells the true story of how the place became haunted. The show also ties in social standards of the era which it is set, the 1960s. A lesbian reporter is held prisoner in the asylum because she wanted to write a story about the villain of the second season, Bloody Face. Another girl is placed in the asylum by her husband because he found that he was cheating on him so she is forced to stay there for being sexually promiscuous. The story also has the head nun who is secretly an evil woman swore to do "God's work" as she sees fit. And the mad scientist of course who tortures and mutilates some of the patiences. The show is a complete work of genius and I suggest it to anyone.

I'm REALLY liking the second season. I think it's gearing up to be better than the first.
