Ryan Murphy sure has been chatty about his co-creation American Horror Story lately. The latest season has been creating all kinds of buzz since its premiere some two months ago, and Murphy has been adding fuel to the fire with tidbits about the show's mythology. The latest intel he's sent down the pipeline was last night's revelation that American Horror Story is planning a major crossover between two fan-favorite seasons: Murder House and Coven!
"It’s not going to be next season, but we are going to do a season that's a crossover between Murder House and Coven together, which is very bizarre," Murphy told fans at EW's PopFest. While he wouldn't describe the exact nature or duration of this crossover, he did add this: "There will be characters from Murder House and characters from Coven together."
Might whatever is being planned have to do with the long-rumored "Montgomery Link" between those two seasons?...

American Horror Story's shared universe aspect comes into its own this week with the fun return of a Coven character...
This review contains spoilers.
1.11 Battle Royale
It took Ryan Murphy five seasons and a return to a familiar stomping ground to bring American Horror Story full circle. The recycling of Pepper last season was a nice touch, and the freak show or the asylum was a common destination for unfortunate microcephalics back in the dark days, so to have the character move from one to the other makes sense. However, there wasn't a lot of modern crossing-over, aside from using the same actors. That's changed with Hotel. Whether it's the La location or the modern setting, old familiar faces have been popping up (and usually dying horribly) within the confines of the Hotel Cortez.
Christine Estabrook's Marcie and Matt Ross's Dr. Charles Montgomery were surprise visitors,...

How terrifying can a baby really be? Er, pretty bloody terrifying judging by this week's episode of American Horror Story: Hotel...
This review contains spoilers.
5.6 Room 33
Lady Gaga's got a thing with her fans. She calls them her little monsters. It's a great fandom nickname, akin to the Kiss Army in terms of recognizability. After all, there's a whole episode of The Simpsons based around Gaga's schtick. It's the worst episode The Simpsons has ever done, but that's not the point. It's a known quantity, and I have no doubt it's been one of the inspirations for Countess's collection of creepy children, alongside The Shining and Village Of The Damned. They're actual little monsters, and she's their mother.
Of course, she's not just their adopted mother, she's the actual mother of at least one child, courtesy of the good butchers at Murder House. That's right, Countess...

Well, there's another face we can never unsee. Thanks, American Horror Story! Tonight's episode started off with the long-awaited return of season one's murder house, as The Countess (Lady Gaga), calling herself "Mrs. Johnson," flashed a big old baby bump, claimed to be only three weeks along, and solicited the services of season one abortionist, Dr. Charles Montgomery (Matt Ross). What could possibly go wrong, right? Everything. Let's dig in. What We Learned 1. The Countess's Fetus Is Alive. And has been living for decades, missing half a face, and donning lots of teeth, in Hotel Cortez's Room 33. Though The Countess insists she can't really...

In case you haven’t heard, Harry Shearer has officially left “The Simpsons” after 26 seasons. Shearer gave a voice to Principal Skinner, Ned Flanders, and Mr. Burns. While “The Simpsons” showrunner Al Jean confirmed to Alan Sepinwall that Shearer’s exit does Not mean the end of those characters, things will never be the same. In honor of Shearer’s decades of work bringing billionaire jerk Charles Montgomery Burns to life, HitFix Harpy rounded up some his most painfully practical pieces of immorality. ********* #1: More than anything, Mr. Burns understood what was needed in order to succeed in a capitalist society. http://thesimpsonsforever.tumblr.com/post/83819413096 #2: Things like filial loyalty were for peasants. http://maxxiepants.tumblr.com/post/48503527321 #3: Mr. Burns knew America is truly the greatest country in the world.

Whatever your view of the later seasons may be, it’s impossible to deny that at its peak, The Simpsons was one of the greatest shows ever broadcast on TV. In a cast of literally hundreds, everyone has their own personal favorite outside of the actual Simpson family, but somehow, an evil billionaire tops the list for many. What makes Charles Montgomery Burns so special?
Everyone loves a good villain and no one is as despicable as Mr Burns. Despite being a frail old man who can’t even crush a paper cup with his hands, Burns has terrorized the town of Springfield with his ridiculous schemes since the very first episode of season 1. Starting out as simply Homers horrible boss, the character of Burns evolved into something so much more as the series progressed.

No matter how hard you work, you’ll never make as much money as these characters. Don’t feel bad. It’s a lot easier to make millions when someone creates it for you with his imagination.
Rich Uncle Pennybags

Rich Uncle Pennybags, Aka the Monopoly Man, made his millions in real estate before the bust. The man practically owns Atlantic City. Even if Atlantic City has seen some hard times since Monopoly debuted in 1903, Pennybags still gets paid $200 just for taking a walk around the block. It kind of makes you wonder if he and Boardwalk Empire’s Nucky Thompson had some deals in the works.
How You Know He’s Rich: Top hat, monocle, cane… yep, he’s loaded.

Today’s the day we celebrate Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schickelgruber Burns, the owner and manager of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Without this ancient billionaire, the Simpson family would simply be poor, instead of part of the working poor. So feel free to say “exxxcellent” all day long. And don’t forget to release the hounds.
Other people may tell you that this is actually the birthday of poet Robert Burns, and that you should celebrate by playing the bagpipes, eating haggis, drinking scotch, reciting poetry in a thick Scottish accent, and closing out the evening by singing Auld Lang Syne. But that just sounds frickin’ weird.

"American Horror Story" has had three episodes now to wow us in Season 2 and honestly, we're not feeling it. It certainly is disturbing and that's its own thing -- maybe it's enough for some viewers -- but it's not enough so far for us.
In the episode that aired on Halloween, there was the opening scene Bloody Face fake-out that actually had us rolling our eyes instead of being frightened.
Back in the sanitarium, Sister Jude being haunted by the little girl she killed (or maybe didn't kill, the newspaper said "disappeared") is intriguing, but not creepy enough. And even though Lange is stellar, the drunken meltdown was mostly just funny.
Dr. Arden is certainly an upsetting character, particularly when he was going to rape Shelley and then when she woke up with amputated legs. His creatures that live in the woods are also mildly interesting, but their big reveal wasn't scary either.

We teased tonight’s American Horror Story finale yesterday, but what about the 12 absolutely insane episodes that have preceded it? In advance of tonight’s season-ender, we’ve narrowed down 10 of the show’s weirdest, wackiest, Wtf-iest moments so far. With so many spine-tingling, mind-blowing revelations, it was a tough call — tougher than munching on a plate o’ brains! Click through to see our countdown.
Honorable Mention: Ben’s magical towel
It wasn’t shocking in the traditional Horror Story sense, but the sticktoitiveness of Ben’s towel during a rough-and-tumble, hand-to-hand brawl with Rubber Man can’t go without a mention.

It's all been leading up to this, folks - in an episode likely to go down in television history for sheer effed-uppedness (I'm sure there's an Emmy category for that, right?), American Horror Story laid it all out on the living room table last night in an episode simply titled "Birth" ("Afterbirth" comes next week).
Are we ready to see the edgiest show on basic cable put its blood money where its mouth is?
1984
Constance (Jessica Lange) is passed out in front of a fresh game of solitaire And an episode of Newhart. (Atta girl!) It must have been an episode that Julia Duffy wasn't in - those were real snoozers!
A blonde kid with a metal toy truck bangs around her pickled, prostrate form - the basement door opens on its own, and he goes down, truck-first. His toy rolls into the darkness. Wait, is this Tate? I guess it would be.

American Horror Story 1.11 "Birth" Recap
American Horror Story adds to its ghostly ranks with "Birth," as Vivien Harmon (Connie Briton) goes into labor to deliver her twins, as Violet (Taissa Farmiga) looks to protect her family by evicting the spirits of Chad (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (Teddy Sears) intent on keeping the children for themselves. In case you missed out on last week's "Smoldering Children," we've got all the ghostly twists and turns to hold you over until the next terrifying episode!
Of course, if you’re too frightened to watch tonight's action for yourself, read on for our American Horror Story recap of "Birth”!
In 1984, Constance lies passed out drunk with past due bills on the table, as a young Tate roams the house playing with his dump truck toy. The basement door swings ajar, and Tate playfully sends the truck down the stairs, creeping down to retrieve it.

There's a lot to be said for looking back before moving forward, and luckily for fans of "American Horror Story", FX seems to agree with that sentiment because today they've released more behind-the-scenes videos for the series that examine the casting process for the show as well as what went into filming Episodes 1.09, "Spooky Little Girl", and 1.10, "Smoldering Children".
First, casting director Eric Dawson fills us in on choosing the perfect actors for the Harmons and their merry band of ghosts. Next, cinematographer Michael Goi discusses the "Black Dahlia" episode along with actors Frances Conroy (Moira) and Matt Ross (Charles Montgomery). Lastly, we learn the true story behind Larry (Denis O'Hare)'s burns and get an up close look at a stunt burn.

The American Horror Story house is famous.
Well, at least one of its numerous murder victims is, anyway, as we learn in “Spooky Little Girl.” Turns out that none other than the Black Dahlia herself was killed on the premises. It was an accident, mind you, but the results were the same. A dentist takes up residence in the house in the 1940s, and Mena Suvari’s Elizabeth Short stops by to have a cavity filled (cue a sexual innuendo that’s so obvious it would have Michael Scott yelling “That’s what she said”). The dentist gives her some knockout gas, sexually assaults her, and then is dismayed to find that he upped the dose of gas a little too much and Short is dead. Not to worry: Dr. Frankenstein house mainstay Charles Montgomery is on the case. It’s he who carves up Short and gives birth to the Dahlia legend.

After an intense and disturbing episode last week - let's call it Tate Misbehavin'! - American Horror Story dialed down the intensity last night and instead delivered a soapy tale steeped in Hollywood nostalgia, supernatural terror and high camp.
I of course mean this as the highest form of compliment.
So throw on your best fishnet stockings and fascinator and let's cut this baby apart, shall we? Oh - sorry, Thaddeus, no offense.
On a sunny California day, an old-timey cab pulls up in front of the Murder House. A lady in killer hooker pumps gets out and struts up the walk, passing a woman dragging along a boy in what looks like orthodontic headgear from the Hoover administration. She turns and smiles - it's Mena Suvari! She wears a flower in her hair - and since we already know what role Ms. MeMe has been brought on board to play,...

We open in 1947. A lovely young woman with striking black hair (Mena Suvari) exits a cab and walks toward the murder house, which is a dentist’s office in this time period. The young lady, an aspiring actress, starts making making small talk with the dentist.

This week American Horror Story ran the second half of its Halloween-themed two-parter, and I think I speak for all of us when I say thank God everything makes sense now, right?
Wrong. This show's still nutty as a fruitcake and twice as nauseating ... in the best possible way, of course.
While it did close the book on the Harmons' first Halloween in Murder House, this really could have been its own episode - the biggest takeaway from the two-parter is exactly how busy a night in that damned Victorian really is. It's like Grand Central up that piece - or the Brady Bunch bathroom, even.
Anyway, let's get to it - these bodies aren't going to unearth themselves! Except that they are.
We do a tiny rewind from last week's cliffhanger and learn that - as I suggested in my recap last week - Tate (Evan Peters) did indeed...

This week American Horror Story delivered the first half of a two-part Halloween episode, and let's just say that it sure as hell weren't no Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Loaded with more twists and turns than even the usual Ahs episode (which is saying a lot), this Halloween special delivered one of the nastiest shocks yet in the form of the death of a central character. Even worse? That central character was one of the only likeable ones in the bunch.
So toss on your Pretty Girl masks and let's pick this baby apart, shall we? Whoops - sorry, Charles and Norah, no pun intended!
This week's opening flashback takes us all the way back to 2010. You remember - that long-forgotten yesteryear when when Zachary Quinto was still straight. (All kidding aside, Zach, huge props for coming out last week.) Yes, Laquinto is in the House, playing Chad - one...

American Horror Story welcomes Zachary Quinto into the ghostly fold with its fourth episode "Halloween, Part 1" on FX tonight, and even if you missed out, we've got all the ghostly twists and turns to hold you over until the frightful conclusion next week! Of course, if you’re too frightened to watch the action for yourself, read on for our American Horror Story recap of "Halloween, Part 1”!
In our most recent flashback to date, American Horror Story takes us back to good old 2010 to visit the troubled partnership between the house’s last owners, Chad Warwick (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (Teddy Sears). While Chad struggles to put things together for a perfect Halloween party to help sell the house, he lashes out at Patrick for having an affair with his personal trainer and not pulling his weight with the house.
Sometime later Chad attempts to tenderly apologize, until the rubber...

“American Horror Story” gets into the Halloween spirit this week (although I’m sure you could say it’s always been in the spirit, har har) with the first part of a two-part episode. We meet even more of the house’s previous owners, one character is taken away from us while another re-appears, and the Harmons are still no closer to selling the joint.
We begin this time not so deep in the past, but in 2010. Chad...

When Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story premiered on FX two weeks ago, many of us wondered if the experiment in graphic and twisted terror could sustain itself after the frenetic and boundary-pushing first episode. And while the show has gradually eased off of some of the tricks and gimmicks it threw our way right out of the gate, I'm very pleased to say that three episodes in it is still every bit as creepy, weird, and alive. More alive than most of its characters, in fact - but we'll get to that in a minute.
Seriously - wow. This episode grounded the show like a fresh cement foundation under a gazebo, didn't it? We had the resolution of a few storylines, the beginnings of a few new ones, and the entwining of several seemingly disparate threads. But more than anything, it had an emotional depth that...

Tonight's American Horror Story dropped a plethora of back story and reveals on us tonight, and while you would think the information dump would clarify some things, it does the complete opposite.
Don't Make Me Kill You Again
So Constance did kill Moira for sleeping with her husband back in 1983. While we knew the two women had some sort of history of sorts, especially one involving a man and an affair gone wrong. The twists of the reveal however were that 1) Moira's soul can't escape the House no matter what she does and 2) that Constance was once a resident of the House, which explains how she gets into the House so deftly without being noticed. Popular theory on the internet was that Constance was also a victim/ghost of the House' past. However, I personally believe that last week's episode pretty much solved that mystery by showing Constance and Adelaide...

We dig a little deeper into the house’s history tonight, while we get some more clarity on klepto Constance’s violent past with Moira. The Harmons don’t get any closer to ditching their macabre manse, but Ben loses a potentially home-wrecking “burden” in a most violent way.
This episode opens in 1983. Young Moira is busy working when the man of the house starts coming on to her. What begins as harassment quickly escalates into rape,...
