Ryan Murphy is the visionary behind American Horror Story. Fans of The Shield willrecognize his signature style. Add Brad Falchuk, co-creator of Glee, to the mix and allthings logical fly away.

Something definitive is the stellar, star-studded cast.

Actors pop-in, some for one or two seasons.

For example, Emmy winner, Michael Chiklis, who playedDetective Vic Mackey on The Shield.

Kathy Bates appeared in the 3rd and 4th seasons.

Neil Patrick Harris is multi-talented but. . .

Do you ever wonder why he refused to be in Season 1 ofthe American horror television series?

If that was the case,

Why then do other actors such as Francis Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, SarahPaulson and the exquisite Jessica Lange perform each season.

Questions are left hanging in the ether, as the American Horror Story episodes don’talways begin where the previous one ended.

The horror franchise’s recent entry featured everything from a psychotic clown thatwould put Pennywise to shame, to a bearded lady and even a lobster boy.

American Horror Story? Even its name is rather misleading.

The stories, which are dark and disturbing, aren’t all true-blue horror.

You’ll see ghosts, witches and (the ever scary) clown. You’ll see the inner-workings of amental hospital.

However, gruesomeness is offset by wicked humor, absurdity and lots of sex. Somekinkier than others. . .

One emotion you will not experience is boredom.

The only consistency is inconsistency. Characters aren’t developed; they just go abouttheir business, exhibiting abnormal behaviors and weird ways.

Each episode is a hodgepodge of eerie ideas and visually disturbing moments.

The mansion is listed as Los Angeles Historical Cultural Monument #660.

By the way, in real life the house is not haunted. However, it does contain a hiddenroom somewhere within its enormous basement. The 7588 square foot, three-storyhome has six bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Rosenheim Mansion does boast quite the colorful history. In addition to its role as theMurder House in American Horror Story season 1, the Gothic home has appeared in:Grey’s Anatomy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Law & Order, Californication, Spider Man,The Mentalist, CSI Miami, Criminal Minds and many more.

When the Catholic Church owned the mansion in the 1950s, it housed nuns that werecalled “The Grey Sisters.” Subsequent to the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the nunsmoved, as the house was considered unsafe. During their tenure, a chapel was erectedon the grounds, which now serves as a recording studio.

Incidentally, what do you make of this? In an interview, Brad Falchuk related “strangegoings on” in the house. On the first day of filming, a flag fell and barely missed ConnieBritton’s head! The crew had secured the flag with tape. Weird, huh?

Page 11: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

people went up in arms. The first promo teaser for the season featured a nun carryingbuckets of body parts and emptying them.

As the American Horror Story season two progressed, the nun would be possessed bythe devil and put religious groups up at arms with the franchise.

8.) When Is An Asylum Not An Asylum?

When it’s a courthouse! The circa 1901, Old Orange County Courthouse served as theexterior location for American Horror Story Asylum episodes (season 2).

The building is a State of California Historic Landmark. It is also included in theNational Register of Historic Places. It’s distinctive as Southern California’s mostelderly court building.

Due to careful restoration, the exterior currently appears a great deal like the originalbuilding, which was named the Santa Ana County Courthouse.

The Old Orange County Courthouse building consists of 30,000-square feet. Althoughseveral government offices remain in the building, a great deal of space is devoted tothe Orange County History Center. To name a few, County archives, museum andArchaeological Society library of the Pacific Coast.

The storyline of Briarcliff Asylum was rooted in true occurrences, which took place atWillowbrook State School, formerly of Staten Island. The state institution treatedchildren appallingly and conditions were horrendous.

Page 12: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

Dubbed a “snake pit” by Senator Robert Kennedy, Willowbrook eventually closed in1987.

9.) Ryan Murphy Drops Hints For The Upcoming Seasons

Each season of the American Horror Story show always includes information about theforthcoming season. In Murder House there were references to Asylum before it aired.

Asylum in turn referenced the witchcraft for Coven and during the third seasonnumerous references to Freak Show was included.

10.) Seasons Of American Horror Story From Murder House To Freak Show Are AllConnected

Just in case you didn’t know, the American Horror Story full episodes are all connected.The first reveal surfaced with season four, Freak Show, which linked it to AmericanHorror Story season two (Asylum).

In an earlier interview, Ryan Murphy made it known publicly that all the seasons(American Horror Story full episodes) would be connected.

At the same time, every season tells a story in its own right. Beginning in season four,clues will be dropped each season that makes the viewing audience privy to ways thevarious worlds are entangled.

Lily Rabe’s return to deal with Pepper is the first connectedness. Here we have the first

Page 13: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

Lily Rabe’s return to deal with Pepper is the first connectedness. Here we have the firstoccurrences of characters turning up in two different seasons of American HorrorStory. In the final episode, Freak Show, two worlds collide, as Pepper is returned to theAsylum.

In the Winter Finale, the big reveal shows how Sister Mary Eunice (before she waspossessed) hands Pepper over to Briarcliff.

Another connection to Freak Show materializes when the doctor who originally fitElsa’s and later, Jimmy’s prosthetics, divulges the name of a soldier who was guilty ofmaiming Elsa. The soldier was Dr. Hans Gruper, who turns out to be Dr. Arden inAsylum.

O.K. we admit we were either naughty or nice, depending upon your perspective. Wegave you just enough to whet your appetite, but more clues are revealed in the stories.

11.) Filming Bette & Dot Takes 12-15 Hours

Sarah Paulson’s “talking heads” role on American Horror Story is incredibly intricate.Paulson plays conjoined twins, Bette & Dot Tattler.

It can take up to 15 hours to film a singlescene where both heads talk, as opposed toabout five hours for the other actors.

It is necessary to do separate takesincluding, master recording, close-ups,

Page 14: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

Siamese twins Bette and Dot. LambChop

including, master recording, close-ups,medium shots and those needed for thegreen screen.

Two prosthetic heads must be created.When Paulson portrays Bette, she wears theanimatronic (right) head of Dot and viceversa.

Both faux heads move electronically. A rod that was adapted to fit inside a specialcorset is used to affix the heads to Paulson’s shoulder and body. Traditionally, the roleof conjoined twins involves two actors who are attached at the chest.

Creator, Ryan Murphy thought it more of a challenge if Paulson played both roles. Eachtwin has her own distinct personality. Paulson studied how to be ambidextrous andlearned to walk a particular way. When one head is talking, Paulson can’t look into theeyes of her other head.

Two heads are heavier than one. Also, Paulson is forced to bend her neck one way orthe other, depending upon which head she wears. Pretty painful!

12.) Several Actors Are Staples Of The Series

Despite revolving storylines, the cast has an impressive set of actors that keep comingback for blood. Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulsonand Denis O’Hare have all done at least three seasons of the series.

Page 15: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

Newcomers from Season Three of the American Horror Story that have returnedinclude Angela Basset, Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts.

13.) The Axeman Inspired By New Orleans Serial Killer

The Axeman Cometh kicked-off with a flashback to New Orleans in the year 1919. Itwas driven by a letter to the press from the “real” axe man. In it, he warned that hewould only spare people who were playing jazz in their home.

The spirit of the long-deceased serial killer was conjured up by Nan, Zoe and Queeniewhen they queried a found Ouija board about Madison’s disappearance. Danny Hustonplays the serial killer character who was inspired by the real life Axeman of NewOrleans.

During a killing spree that spanned from May 1918 until October 1919, the serialmurderer’s identity was never uncovered. He was dubbed Axeman of New Orleansmerely because his weapon of choice was an axe. Real life Axeman committed at leasteight murders, which remain unsolved.

Another component that remains a mystery is whether or not the real Axeman pennedthe letter. It was written by a person purporting to be Axeman, but it was signed“Axman”, without an “e.”

14.) Evan Peters Got Into Show Biz To Meet The Olsen Twins

Evan Peters, who plays multiple roles on the American Horror Story episodes, startedout in show biz, specifically to meet the Olsen twins. He admits to not being artistically

Page 16: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

out in show biz, specifically to meet the Olsen twins. He admits to not being artisticallyinclined.

He thought that becoming a “fellow thespian” would help him “score” opportunities tomeet the objects of his obsession.

An ironic thing happened during his quest! He has become quite an actor in his ownright. Evan Peters, who is getting in touch with his inner-artist, has taken-up classicalpiano. It soothes him.

15.) Jessica Lange Wasn’t Intended To Be A Long Term Show Staple

Despite being the heart and soul of the franchise, Jessica Lange was only supposed tohave a small part in American Horror Story: Murder House.

However, she and Ryan Murphy bonded quickly and her role was expanded in the firstseason. The duo became so close, that she has gone on to be the main star of theAmerican Horror Story show.

Murphy is so fascinated with the actress, he runs scripts by her and adds in elementsfor the characters she plays so she continues to enjoy her run on the American HorrorStory: Freak Show.

16.) Eric Stonestreet Was Supposed To Be A Regular

In the first season, Eric Stonestreet played a character that thought he could conjureup a killer with a pig’s head. For American Horror Story: Asylum he was offered the role

Page 17: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

up a killer with a pig’s head. For American Horror Story: Asylum he was offered the roleof a serial killer who would have a prominent role in the show.

However, he declined. A revised version of the character would be added in later andwould become Bloody Face.

17.) Max Adler Was Supposed To Be On The Show

Ryan Murphy keeps his tropes of actors from other shows in work as often as he can.When Max Adler was looking for work, Murphy offered him a part as the character Mr.Capshaw.

However, Max ended up getting cast on Switched at Birth and the role was removedfrom the script.

18.) American Horror Story Season Four Soundtrack All About Freaks

Considering the time period in season four was 1952, it didn’t seem logical for thecharacters to sing songs that weren’t in existence then. However, there was a methodto this particular madness.

Ryan Murphy explained that he had selected songs based on the freakiness of theoriginal artists who sang them, such as David Bowie, Nirvana and Lana Del Rey.

19.) The Score Is Pieces Of Classic Horror Film Soundtracks

Page 18: where can i watch american horror story freakshow

Elements from Psycho, Insidious, What Lies Beneath, Dracula and others are featuredin the score of the show.

This gives some familiarity and adds to the underlying sense of dread that the showoffers.

20.) American Horror Story Season 5 Titled Hotel

It was revealed on 25 February 2015 that the American Horror Story new Seasonwould be titled “Hotel.” It launches in October, 2015 on FX Network.

Why Not Watch American Horror Story Online?For sure, the premise of an anthology series is to introduce a new story with newcharacters each season. That is what you should always expect with each of theAmerican Horror Story new season.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk take American Horror Story to new heights byinterconnecting the seasons. They also withheld this big WOW factor until the fourthyear into the series!

If you didn’t get all the connectedness “clues” the first time around, why not watch all ofthe American Horror Story episodes again?
