11 unforgettable music moments in ‘American Horror Story’

Ali Cooper — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 23:55:09 +0000

American Horror Story has used incidental music to great effect over its nine-year history, creating some truly unforgettable moments with a touch of songs both familiar and unusual. From characters covering classics to obscure melodies warning when danger is coming, music is never far from an important scene.

We know you’re bingeing all nine seasons to keep yourself sane during isolation. Here’s a ranking of the 11 best moments where music has made the anthology so iconic.

10. Constance’s death

Apocalypse episode “Return To Murder House” depicted the death of Murder House fan-favorite Constance Langdon in the most fitting way for her character—with a smoke, a drink and a twirl around the house she loved most. Soundtracked to the tune of Connie Francis’ “You’re Gonna Miss Me,” Constance greets her fate gladly, soon to be reunited with her beloved children.Constance’s swan song choice denotes the more tragic reason for her suicide, feeling she failed after raising Antichrist Michael Langdon. This farewell to an icon made AHS history for all the right reasons.

9. Jimmy Darling vs. Nirvana

Freak Show was full of AHS musical moments, and we had no idea Evan Peters shared Kurt Cobain’s gravelly tones until Jimmy Darling performed “Come As You Are.” The episode “Test Of Strength” sees Darling practice his mid-show act in front of Elsa Mars, whose feedback is “adequate,” not wanting his somber song to drag down the mood of the show. Yes, we’re still confused how Nirvana seem to have time-traveled back to 1952. However, we’re not complaining when we get to see Peters belt out a grunge classic.

8. Stevie Nicks’ White Witch being a badass

The casting of Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks as the mysterious White Witch in both Coven and Apocalypse was a stroke of musical genius to tie in with Misty Day’s (Lily Rabe) endless love of Fleetwood and twirling around in shawls. Nicks’ arrival in Coven brings a touching impromptu piano rendition of “Rhiannon” as she gifts Day her shawl. Stepping her dramatic presence up a notch in her next appearance in Apocalypse, Nicks performs “Gypsy” to Day and the witches, with the added bonus of the Antichrist Michael looking on disapprovingly. Tough crowd.

7. Elizabeth helps Liz Taylor blossom

Hotel’s memorable transformation of beloved character Liz Taylor (Denis O’Hare) burst into life, thanks to the use of “Bette Davis Eyes.” As The Countess (Lady Gaga) discovers Nick Pryor exploring his image in the privacy of his hotel room, she assists the transition and christens the newborn Taylor, fur coat and all, with the help of Kim Carnes’ motivational song. The rebirth is complete when Taylor leaves the room for ice and discovers the freedom of finally being herself. With this iconic musical moment, AHS proved the season’s resounding ideology—“Goddesses don’t speak in whispers. They scream.”

6. The Murder House anthem

The opening scenes to AHS: Murder House established the anthology’s use of foreboding music to set the scene. As two boys trash the Murder House, the unsettling “Tonight You Belong To Me” heralds the greatest danger—the house itself. The distinctive notes of Patience And Prudence build suspense whenever they emerge, particularly in the first episode of Apocalypse for Michael’s first scene, serving as a warning to fans that the first season’s legacy still lingers.

5. “Life On (Elsa) Mars?”

“Life On Mars?” is already powerful enough, but Mars’ moving rendition in Freak Show took the 1971 classic to another level. Wearing David Bowie’s iconic pastel blue suit and coordinating makeup, this goosebump-inducing scene used as an introduction to Mars’ show also narrates the freaks’ guilt over “the lawman beating up the wrong guy” in episode one. As if that weren’t tear-jerking enough, the piano piece to the song closes the season’s final episode as Mars prepares to perform her first show in the afterlife, soundtracking the show’s first strangely happy ending.

4. Tate’s school shooting

The creepy side of the AHS soundtrack is as iconic as the show itself, particularly the whistling from Bernard Herrmann’s “Twisted Nerve” in Murder House. First heard as Tate Langdon describes his fantasy version of his school shooting, this AHS moment foreshadowed Tate’s not-so-secret dark side. The same distinctive sound bites are used as Tate whistles the tune to himself while stalking the school library. The harrowing reality of Tate’s actions was amplified by the use of these haunting sounds whenever the subject is mentioned, a dynamic storytelling tool that AHS has used so much over the years.

3. The witches theme

We could never forget the melody that plays every time a witch speaks, moves or even breathes. Affectionately known as the “Lala Lala Song” by James S. Levine, these unforgettable harmonies make their first appearance in Coven as Robichaux newcomer Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga) settles in, haunting the season from that moment on. It became the incidental theme that suggests witchcraft is right around the corner. As the witches made a defiant return five seasons later in Apocalypse, AHS gifted us many more opportunities to hear the tones of the most iconic song from the anthology.

2. Bobby Richter flees Camp Redwood

If the closing moments of 1984 didn’t reduce you to ugly tears, do you even have a soul? As Mr. Jingles’ son Bobby Richter escapes the camp and all of its threats, the moving Mike + The Mechanics classic “The Living Years” plays out its haunting notes. Turning to face his family, who he has to leave behind, Richter’s race for freedom rings out to give us the first genuinely happy ending to an AHS season in four years. For a controversial season among fans, 1984’s curtain call couldn’t have been more emotive.

1. “The Name Game”

Asylum’s most iconic scene comes at the most unexpected point in its plot, as Sister Jude succumbs to her shock therapy enforced by Sister Mary Eunice, staring at the lounge jukebox. Before long, the grayscale mood of the season washes away as the asylum occupants dance cheerfully along with a brightly colored Jessica Lange. “The Name Game” is the tempo shift that Asylum so desperately needed to break up its bleak narrative, if all too cruelly short-lived. However, three-quarters of the way through the season, this scene suggested that there could be a bright future ahead for its characters.

This controversial theme in ‘AHS’ season 6 almost didn’t happen

Rachael Dowd — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:52:18 +0000

American Horror Story: Roanoke marked the departure of the show’s typical format when it aired in 2011. However, it turns out that the controversial theme for the sixth season was almost completely different.

Frequent Ryan Murphy collaborator Cheyenne Jackson has revealed just what season 6 was going to be about and the theme may surprise some of you.

Top 10 ‘American Horror Story’ plot twists we’re still thinking about

Ali Cooper — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:55:09 +0000

American Horror Story doesn’t go easy on its fans. If there’s a way to make your jaw drop to the floor, make you sick to your stomach or make you cry your eyes out, you can bet producer Ryan Murphy and co. have tried it.

If isolation’s driving you crazy and you need to relive those head-spinning moments, you’re in luck. We’ve trawled all nine years of AHS to bring you the most dramatic plot twists—from character deaths to dynamic changes to villain reveals to a whole lot of witches.

10. Return To Roanoke

Roanoke in itself was an unexpected plot twist. With five episodes remaining, the Millers’ story came to an end, and it wasn’t clear how the rest of the season would pan out. The dynamic shift from reenactments and eyewitness accounts to both “real” characters and actors staying in the Roanoke house together during the Blood Moon was a truly Black Mirror-esque turn for AHS. Roanoke instantly became a bizarre Big Brother, compounded by Shelby Miller’s affair with actor Dominic Banks, the actress Agnes Mary Winstead morphing into her character The Butcher and one of the anthology’s most gory endings.

9. Margaret Booth is Mr. Jingles

The suspense built through the first half of 1984 relied upon the myths of the terrifying Mr. Jingles and his massacre of the Camp Redwood counselors in 1970, of which Margaret Booth was the sole survivor. She even had an ear missing to prove it. A born-again Christian who took on the responsibility to dispel the camp’s bloody past and reform it into a God-fearing activity center, Booth soon exposed her guilt and how she framed Jingles for the massacre. It made us instantly regret judging Benjamin Richter by his (admittedly quite intimidating) cover.

8. Ma Petite’s death

If there’s one heinous crime we can’t forgive Freak Show’s Stanley for, it’s the death of the most adorable character. The con artist’s string of offenses against the freaks went too far as he commanded the death of Ma Petite to use her as a museum artifact, made all the more tragic as Maggie Esmerelda failed to do it herself and the task fell to Dell Toledo. Stanley’s greed resulted in the strongman literally hugging Petite to death in a heartbreaking plot twist that showed the cruel side of AHS that we love to hate.

7. The Seven Wonders

Coven cleverly crafted its witchy characters to make them invincible…almost. The introduction of a personalized hell for each person if they failed the Seven Wonders test brought about limitless possibilities for the anthology to explore. Of course, the clause that nobody can return from their own hell had to be demolished to show off Michael Langdon’s powers in Apocalypse, but the concept itself was terrifying enough. Giving the witches their own vulnerabilities, while making Misty dissect live frogs for all eternity, added a strange element of relatable reality to the otherwise unbelievable AHS universe.

6. The witches return

Apocalypse episode “Forbidden Fruit” was bursting with plot twists. First Venable and Mead kill the entire Outpost, and then Mead discovers she’s programmed to do the mysterious Langdon’s bidding and shoots Venable. However, just as viewers believe Langdon and Mead are the only survivors of the end of days, the Rolling Stones’ “She’s A Rainbow” keys in the biggest twist of all—the witches have survived, too. As the famous trio of Madison Montgomery, Myrtle Snow and Cordelia Goode descend upon Outpost 3, it’s revealed there are three other witches in the Outpost they need to revive to stop the end of the world.

5. Devil’s Night

When you have a fixed setting full of deadly ghosts trapped there, you need a catch to make the outside just as dangerous. First alluded to in Murder House on Halloween and again in Freak Show, Hotel’s Devil’s Night twist elaborated on a device the anthology has used time and time again. There’s one night of the year where ghosts can roam free. The fifth season introduced this sinister loophole in typical exuberant style—inviting a handful of renowned killers to the Cortez for dinner, including Aileen Wuornos and Richard Ramirez, who we’re unlucky enough to meet again in 1984.

4. Ally kills Ivy

Cult’s Ally Mayfair-Richards had a hard time, terrorized by her phobias and discovering her wife was part of Kai Anderson’s cult, then joining the cult herself. However, her character’s true colors come to view in the episode “Drink The Kool-Aid”—just as Ivy jokes that Ally could never do anything to harm her, Ally’s poisoned food and wine kick in and kill her. Her motives? To keep hold of their son Oz. Sarah Paulson’s character took us on a roller coaster of emotions throughout the seventh season, and her revenge was a dish served with pasta.

3. Michael Langdon’s tragic death

We know Antichrist Michael Langdon had to die somehow to avoid the apocalypse and, you know, give us more AHS seasons to enjoy. That didn’t stop us from picking our jaws up off the floor when Mallory used the tempus infinituum spell to time travel to Langdon’s youth at the Murder House. Langdon ended up under the wheels of Mallory’s car and, rejected by his grandmother Constance, died in the road outside the house. Sure, he was only going to kill the vast majority of the human race, but Murphy and co. made viewers truly suffer with this one.

2. Violet Harmon is dead

Murder House was packed full of twists and turns we didn’t see coming, probably because it was the first season of a new breed of unpredictable TV. The most memorable and haunting moment, however, came when Violet Harmon discovered she was already dead. Fleeing Tate Langdon’s suggestions of a suicide attempt in “Smoldering Children,” Harmon tries to leave the house and ends up transported back inside. Realizing she succeeded in her drug overdose in “Piggy Piggy” after discovering the truth about Tate, the scenes where Harmon tries in vain to escape made for truly devastating yet captivating viewing.

1. Oliver Thredson is Bloody Face

Above the aliens, demonic possession and Nazi experimenting doctor plot twists, we were floored by the reveal as Asylum’s Lana Winters discovers her Briarcliff savior Dr. Thredson is in fact Bloody Face. Add that to his attempts to frame Kit Walker for his crimes, throw in his Ed Gein-esque home decor and his serious mommy issues and you have one of the most formidable villains in AHS history. Let’s face it: The psych-is-the-psycho trope isn’t a new concept. However, we so badly wanted Winters to escape the asylum with him. Thredson fooled us all.

Evan Peters ‘American Horror Story’ roles, ranked

Ali Cooper — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 15:55:36 +0000

It’s official: American Horror Story regular Evan Peters is back for season 10 this fall. After taking a year off due to “a full-on burnout” before 1984, we discovered last month that he would be returning this year along with original star Sarah Paulson.

While we’re all working from home under quarantine (Apocalypse saw this all coming, right?), now seems like the best time to binge through this beloved anthology show on Netflix and dig out all the gems brought to us so far by the OG Evan.

16. Jesus Christ

Cult’s weirdest turn (believe us, there were a few of them) was Peters’ portrayal of Jesus Christ… Yeah, it’s as strange as it sounds. He descends from heaven to give cult leader Jim Jones a high-five, but that’s about it.

In the physical stakes, Peters fits the bill, and shooting this scene must have been an interesting experience. But there’s nothing much left to say about this obscure appearance that probably should’ve ended up on the cutting room floor.

15. Marshall Applewhite

At first, we didn’t realize that was Peters. Thanks to the wonders of a bald cap and AHS’ extensive effects team, the Heaven’s Gate leader opens the Cult episode “Drink The Kool-Aid” with a small, somewhat uneventful part justifying Kai’s behavior.

He’s not as menacing as Jim Jones, and he’s not as sickening as Charles Manson, but Applewhite’s actions and his wide-eyed pitch-black stare would be enough to put us off.

14. David Koresh

Blink and you’ll miss Branch Davidians leader David Koresh’s scenes in Cult’s “Drink The Kool-Aid.” You’d also be forgiven for forgetting he was even there thanks to his brief screen time.

One of the lesser-known cultists brought up in the seventh season’s explanations of Kai’s claim to power, Koresh’s stint wasn’t exactly huge. But Peters impersonated his accent perfectly and totally looked the part with his trademark massive glasses and a curly wig.

13. Jim Jones

For those interested in true crime, Peters’ portrayal of the Peoples Temple cult leader Jim Jones is eerily accurate. His mannerisms, dialect and even the way he sits in his makeshift throne shows there’s serious attention to detail in Peters’ performance based on the surviving footage of the infamous preacher through Cult episode “Drink The Kool-Aid.”

12. Charles Manson

Another of Peters’ terrifyingly realistic roles was a brief stint as Charles Manson in the aptly named season 7 episode “Charles (Manson) In Charge.” Appearing as a fevered hallucination to Kai Anderson as a means of justifying his past actions and guiding his future choices, Peters impressively embodies the hyperactive Manson Family cult leader as if he really resides in Kai’s mind.

He even pulled off Manson’s trademark creepy, wide-eyed glare while staring at Kai…or himself. Evan vs. Evan, anyone?

11. Andy Warhol

Peters’ resemblance to the artist Andy Warhol is uncanny in Cult episode “Valerie Solanas Died For Your Sins: Scumbag.” Another of his short-lived AHS roles, his inclusion in the seventh season and the portrayal of Valerie Solanas’ attempted murder of the iconic artist brings about a huge debate on female equality that runs throughout the season.

Thanks to Peters’ sassy delivery of the role and pulling off that white hairdo, Warhol’s scenes make a surprisingly lasting effect on the season’s story despite his limited screen time.

10. Rory Monahan

Roanoke would’ve been far more painful if it weren’t for the light entertainment of Peters’ cheerful character Rory Monahan. With the actor reenacting the role of aristocrat Edward Philippe Mott, his bubbly personality steals the show for the brief time he appears on screen.

Monahan’s hopes of becoming a successful actor post-My Roanoke Nightmare are tragically dashed at the hands of the slaughtering nurses in the house before he gets to screen test with Brad Pitt. #TooSoon

9. Jeff Pfister

Coked-up Kineros Robotics brainiac Jeff Pfister from Apocalypse may be one of Peters’ most underrated roles. Pfister is a complex albeit immature nerd who becomes incredibly well connected in the Illuminati, later known as the Cooperative.

He sold his soul to Satan, built a robot Ms. Mead almost identical to the original and played a massive role in initiating the end of the world… We wouldn’t want to argue with him.

8. Edward Philippe Mott

Peters’ primary role in Roanoke was Edward Philippe Mott, the art-obsessed English owner of the Roanoke house who lasted all of two days in the cursed property before the strange goings-on threatened his life. A spoiled aristocrat, the exquisitely dressed Mott met his fiery end at the hands of the Butcher and her clan.

Sure, Mott wasn’t the most long-lasting character, but his story came in handy to explain the insanity behind the crimes of descendant Dandy Mott in Freak Show.

7. Mr. Gallant

The overtly camp hairdresser/resident of Outpost 3 at the beginning of Apocalypse brought us some hilarious Peters moments, including that kinky arrival at his grandmother’s dinner party and a steamy encounter or two with the Rubber Man.

Providing some much-needed comic relief (and a weakness for men in head-to-toe leather) while the world suffered nuclear winter above ground, we have to forgive Gallant for killing his beloved nana while she was dressed as the Rubber Man… Who honestly saw that coming, anyway?

6. Kyle Spencer

Coven’s very own zombie frat boy Kyle Spencer gave us false hope from the start—finally, a down-to-earth Peters role in AHS. That is, until he is tragically killed in a bus crash after saving Madison Montgomery from an attack. The witches piece him back together using body parts from his fellow frat brothers to create a Frankenstein character.

After a long and sometimes frustrating struggle to regain his humanity, the adorable Spencer strengthens through traumatic experiences and challenges. Each scene is a testament to Peters’ versatility as an actor.

5. Kit Walker

Another of Peters’ lovable roles comes in the form of Asylum’s Kit Walker, who really can’t seem to catch a break. After being abducted by aliens, he’s imprisoned for his wife’s brutal murder. On top of everything, he’s slammed into Briarcliff as a suspect for Bloody Face’s killings.

Walker’s unlucky streak didn’t end as soon as he left the asylum. But he did maintain his innocence throughout and remains the glimmer of hope across the bleak season. AHS left his story open-ended as he’s abducted by aliens once more, perhaps for experimentation, and is never seen again.

4. Jimmy Darling

True to his name, Jimmy Darling was the claw-handed sweetheart of Freak Show. Darling becomes the charming star who would do anything to protect his freak show family. This ultimately leads him to be haunted by his killing of a police officer to save the twins.

Darling’s character grounded the fourth season. We cried when his lobster hands were amputated, then cried again when he received prosthetic hands like his old ones. Also, his rendition of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” goes down in iconic AHS history.

3. Kai Anderson

Cheeto-faced Kai Anderson was a masterpiece for Peters. A role that could well have been the cause of his burnout that cost AHS one of their main stars through 1984, the unhinged leader was a character that only Peters could pull off.

The Divine Ruler, an extremist Trump supporter with a penchant for total control, internet censorship and keeping his dead parents’ decomposing bodies in a bedroom, was an amalgamation of numerous case studies of radicalized cult leaders that held the seventh season together. Without Anderson’s inimitable breed of unstoppable, woman-loathing insanity, there would be no Cult.

2. Tate Langdon

Cast your mind back to where it all began in the Murder House and you’ll find tormented resident Tate Langdon. A character based on the Columbine school shooters, Langdon took messed up to a whole new level—starting the AHS tradition of the Rubber Man, setting fire to his mother Constance’s boyfriend, being somewhat responsible for the deaths of Ben and Vivien Harmon, fathering the Antichrist and many more we won’t mention here.

However misguided, Langdon was a compelling character and an AHS icon who drew us in from the beginning all the way through to his brief return in Apocalypse.

1. James Patrick March

Our favorite sadistic hotelier tops the charts of Peters’ best roles. The suave star of Hotel, James March and his pencil mustache brought a ’20s opulence and an infectious love-hate character to the season that proved exactly why Peters is so beloved by AHS fans.

He surely doesn’t show any mercy when it comes to the Hotel Cortez’s customers. However, he makes up for it with bundles of class in his slick pinstripe suit and cravat. Practically owning the fifth season, March also made a brief yet lovable reappearance in Apocalypse playing an eternal card game with Queenie.

‘American Horror Story’ seasons ranked worst to best

Paige Owens — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 23:55:56 +0000

No one expected that when American Horror Story premiered in 2011 from the co-creators of the musical hit series Glee, it would turn into an iconic horror anthology. Yet, eight years later, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have us gripping the edge of our seats in anticipation for the ninth season, 1984, which based on teasers posted has an ’80s slasher film vibe to it. Think A Nightmare On Elm Street or Friday The 13th.

Each fall like clockwork, the dynamic horror duo has premiered the newest installment of the American Horror Story franchise via FX, and admittedly, not every season was exactly what we hoped it would be. From haunted houses to devils, Nazis and aliens, we’ve ranked each season of AHS from worst to best (so far) ahead of the premiere of 1984 Wednesday evening.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

8. Roanoke

An AHS season that’s easily forgotten among the other seven is undoubtedly Roanoke. Based loosely around the 1580s mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, season 6 is set up as a documentary series titled My Roanoke Nightmare that’s fully equipped with “actor reenactments” as well as tall tales of a family haunted by the Roanoke Colony and fighting off the neighboring cannibal family. The first several episodes detail the Miller family’s move into the house that sits directly on the haunted land. Later, it jumps to the documentary and encounters the family’s ventures moving off the land. If this sounds confusing, that’s because it is. The only way this season could’ve been good was if it had never been created at all.

7. Asylum

Set in 1964, Asylum originally set up what we had hoped would be an engaging and thrilling storyline. Following the criminally institutionalized patients and staff workers of Briarcliff Manor, Murphy and Falchuk’s biggest flaw with season 2 was trying to cram too much into 13 episodes. Asylum’s central theme is hard to pinpoint as the miniseries follows an unjustly accused patient (Evan Peters) as the secrets of the institution unfold, including alien abduction, Nazi experimentation and staff members becoming possessed by the devil. The whole season is an absolute cluster fuck. It could’ve been a success had the creators stuck to one theme versus trying to tie several into one season.

6. Apocalypse

One of the scariest things to think about in our modern age is the apocalypse brought on by nuclear war, and the AHS creators managed to capture that fear in season 8. Apocalypse welcomed back several anthology fan-favorite characters, including the witches of season 3 Coven and the ghosts of season 1 Murder House. The series also introduced a character who every major AHS fan would recognize by their last name alone: Michael Langdon, aka the love child of Murder House’s Tate Langdon and Vivien Harmon. Despite being an exciting season to watch, Apocalypse fell short of what we had hoped it would be.

5. Cult

Possibly one of the scariest real-life seasons of AHS, season 7 follows the lives of suburban characters in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Cult emphasizes the fear and divide in America resulting from the 2016 election while also highlighting the tactics of a cult leader in a very Charles Manson-esque manner. Despite the overarching political theme, the season primarily focused on human fear.

4. Hotel

There was absolutely no way that season 5 Hotel would disappoint with Countess Lady Gaga joining the AHS family. Season 5 may not be the best season, but it cohesively follows the paranormal and vampiric activity of Hotel Cortez. The story is loosely based around the infamous World’s Fair Hotel, aka “Murder Castle,” where serial killer H.H. Holmes is believed to have tortured and slaughtered as many as 200 victims. Similar to previous seasons, Hotel spotlighted the reality of fear and phobias and played to these strengths. This was also the first season released in the AHS anthology that didn’t include Jessica Lange.

3. Freak Show

With a title like Freak Show, how can you go wrong? The fourth season found the AHS audience facing their childhood fears of murderous clowns, bearded ladies and the overall anxiety you experience going to a carnival. Freak Show pushed the limitations and boundaries of fear while piecing together a pretty straightforward storyline and introducing series favorites in Twisty The Clown, Pepper and conjoined twins Bette and Dot Tattler (Sarah Paulson).

2. Coven

Following the story of young witches learning to hone their craft while also bringing a historical aspect forward involving the Salem Witch Trials and infamous voodoo queen Marie Laveau, Coven pieced together a Frankenstein love story meets witch war, and we were entirely under this season’s spell. AHS creators Murphy and Falchuk later revived several of the characters from this season to make brief appearances throughout the anthology.

1. Murder House

It’s not often that the premiere season of any series gets it right, but American Horror Story is the exception to the rule. Murder House cohesively details the hauntings and murders of the mansion that new homeowners, the Harmons, reside in. From Violet Harmon’s relationship with Tate Langdon, a ghost that dwells in the home after being disarmed and killed for shooting several students at his high school in the ’90s, to the hauntings of the Black Dahlia murder victim who was raped and slain in the basement of the home before being dismembered and put on display in Los Angeles, season 1 avoided any hokey stereotypes of paranormal activity. If only every season of AHS could be as brilliant and captivating as Murder House.
