    • Trivia
      Sarah Paulson's reporter walk-through scene in "Asylum" was pulled directly from actual footage of Bill Baldini's exposé piece on Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. Baldini's work led to the closure of Pennhurst and the release of all of its patients. Pennhurst is now the location of a seasonal haunted house and has been featured on numerous shows, due to the reported extreme paranormal activity in Pennhurst's buildings.

      Frances Conroy ("Old" Moira O'Hara) is right-eye dominant. Many times you can see that she, as Moira, is focusing on the object she's looking at using her "blind" right eye instead of her left eye.
    • Quotes

      Cordelia Foxx: In the absence of the council, as reigning Supreme of this coven, I hereby decree... for the murders of our sister witch, Cecily Pembroke and our college, Quentin Fleming... you... Myrtle Snow, are hereby sentenced to death by fire.

      Myrtle Snow: Delia, my sweet daughter, I have never been more proud.

      Cordelia Foxx: Any last words?

      Myrtle Snow: Only one. BALENCIAGA!

    American Horror Story is Done

    The 9 stars are for the first 9 seasons.

    American Horror Story was a brilliant show in the early years, and I've watched some seasons on repeat, especially Hotel.

    Sarah Paulson was one of the most talented, dynamic actors consistently throughout all of the different narratives and characters.

    I was not excited at all about Double Feature or NYC, and Delicate is just bad. It's awful. If I had never seen American Horror Story before and only watched Delicate, I would give it one star.

    All good things must come to an end, and Ryan Murphy just didn't know when to stop. At least we'll always have Coven.
