This is not your usual date night! On the Oct. 7 premiere of ‘American Horror Story: Hotel,’ the most incredible scene had to be The Countess herself, taking control and yes, having an orgy at the Hotel Cortez.
American Horror Story:Hotel is many things — bloody, enticing, sexy, and terrifying… but one thing it isn’t is tame. We didn’t meet Lady Gaga’s Countess until midway through the dramatic premiere, but the scene we met her in was one of Ryan Murphy’s best masterpieces in all of the seasons of AHS.

The Countess. Is. Slaying. Lady Gaga promoted her new role on Oct. 7, but posting a BTS picture of her on the set of ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’ — wearing nothing but blood.
The countdown to The Countess is almost done — American Horror Story begins on Oct. 7 and you guys, it’s scary, and Lady Gaga is freaking amazing. Before the episode, she took to Instagram to share quite the revealing look at her character — cigarette, stockings, blood and all.

In ‘Bullseye,’ Elsa’s lies begin to unravel. However, she is able to twist the suspicion in the camp to her benefit as she plays a dangerous game with Paul The Illustrated Seal. Also, Dandy has manpain. Full ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ recap below!
Now that Dandy (Finn Wittrock) has playthings to keep him company in the form of Bette and Dot (Sarah Paulson), he mellows for a hot second in “Bullseye.” However, it doesn’t last — nor does Elsa’s time in the spotlight following the twins’ “disappearance” as the camp becomes suspicious. Also, Stanley (Denis O’Hare) puts the screws to Maggie/Esmerelda (Emma Roberts) in their plot to sell off all the freaks to the American Morbidity Museum — expect to see a freak in a jar in the Nov. 12 episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show! Recap below.

On the Nov. 5 episode of ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show,’ Dandy takes another victim, Jimmy’s romantic life goes even more sour, Desiree learns something about herself, and we learn a pretty devastating secret about Dell. Full recap below!
In “Pink Cupcakes,” we meet Matt Bomer in his guest-starring role as a male prostitute named Andy who has won the affections of one of the freaks. Meanwhile, Jimmy tries to have it off with Maggie, and Stanley is as dogged as ever in his pursuit of Bette and Dot. The Nov. 5 episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show is totally packed with new information about our favorite freaks, so let’s dive in — check out our full review!

In the Halloween episode of ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show,’ we learned that even murderous clowns have their tragic backstories. However, the show went way too far in redeeming Twisty The Clown while Jessica Lange’s Elsa got the shaft! SPOILERS for ‘Edward Mordrake Part 2’ below!
Every superhero has their origin story, and so, too, do parent-killing clowns. In “Edward Mordrake Part 2,” we saw a glimpse of Twisty The Clown’s backstory and his “reasons” for his transition from a carnival clown into a violent murderer. If nothing else, American Horror Story: Freak Show proves that Freaks: They’re Just Like Us. Everyone has their story, sure, but I think that the show went way too far in redeeming Twisty while simultaneously vilifying Elsa. SPOILERS for the Halloween episode below!

Throughout the last three years of ‘American Horror Story,’ fans have witnessed multiple unspeakable horrors. From Chloë Sevigny’s playground terror to the rape of Connie Britton to those early ‘Coven’ slave scenes, the show has proven time and again that it’s not afraid to ‘go there.’ But the Dec. 4 episode featured the series’ most shocking moment yet — don’t read on if you don’t want to know what happened!
At the end of the Dec. 4 episode of American Horror Story: Coven, “The Sacred Taking,” the show delivered it’s most delightfully shocking twist yet. During a season where pretty much nobody is allowed to die, producers broke the rules by subjecting one character to a fate even worse than death.
