so I may have discovered that I have a horror fetish
Nov. 9th, 2012 | 12:57 am
not in a sexual way in that I may someday want to go and boink my husband in a haunted mental institution during our honeymoon. That is Mrs. Channing Tatum's hubris about seven minutes into this season's first episode of American Horror Story.
This is the part where I was going to embed a video clip of Adam Levine getting his arm ripped off while getting a blowie by said Mrs. Channing Tatum but I forget that YouTube isn't as generous as circa before IPR was such a huge deal. So. Here's a picture of Adam Levine instead?

This is not the best depiction of the character he portrays in AHS because a) he still has his arm; b) he, sadly, isn't in this state of undress most of the time; c) he still has his arm
Okay, so. Guys. I've always known I liked riding roller coasters, yelling FASTER FASTER whilst seated in the passenger seat of a car gunning 100 mph, yelling FASTER FASTER everywhere else in my life, etc etc. but lately, probably because my bed isn't a proper place for high-adrenaline high-speed endeavors, I seem to have gravitated towards having voluntary heart attacks. By virtue of Messrs. Hitchcock, Craven, Del Torro, and Murphy (as in Ryan Murphy... I know. But trust me, AHS is not Glee)
The actual purpose of this post the chance to talk about AHS season two. Maybe in bullet points. Maybe in depth. Because El Orfanato is taking forever to download and I am sucker for laying out things that confuse me (American History! What happened during the 60s! Religion v. Science!)
I mean. It's called American. Horror Story. Asylum. They do a pretty good job of making that box and filling it with trope after horror trope and I love it. Even the aliens. Yes, there are aliens, or maybe just allusions to abduction. But there are chip implants. Right? Right? One goes, "An asylum. In the 60s. And there are alien probes involved. How does this make sense?" It doesn't. Not yet. There are ribbons of sub-plots all over the place and I cannot cannot cannot wait to see them try to tie all the loose ends come season finale.
Speaking of subplots, my favorite by far is the ward's physician, Dr. Josef Mengele (I FORGOT HIS NAME IN THE SHOW. But aside: I'm pretty sure the Doctor is modeled after Mengele. If it wasn't obvious from the first episode, the most recent one actually sure as hell does. There were twins involved. Right??). I have a weak spot for like medical gore in that I hate it but I can't not get piqued. It is why I ended up watching The Human Centipede. Curiosity killed my appetite for a whole week.
I DIGRESS. Here have a picture of Evan Peters

Hello, Scabbers. What shenanigans did we get ourselves into last night?
Evan Peters. Is a revelation. Physique-wise. He played creepy monster stalker last season to the T that there was no physique observation to speak of since I was too squicked out by his performance (like dude you don't have the right to be heartbroken you're, like, a ghost pining after a human in a very un-Casper way). This season, he's this... I was going to talk about his characterization (solid enough) but then I remembered how they did his hair, like a depressed pompadour, and I'm gonna talk about something else now.
Actually, that's about it. My Del Torro flick just finished downloading (the other one) and two hours from now, I will be banging my head into my headboard asking myself why I had to had to! watch Cronos. I don't even know if it's scary enough-- oh it's about vampires, I'll be fine.
