Well here's a sure fire way to lose viewers...
After that full-fledged "Glee" number seen on a recent episode of "American Horror Story: Asylum," creator Ryan Murphy dished some deets on the show's 3rd season that may have fans just as alienated. According to Deadline, season 3 of "AHS" will be a "romance set in modern times," whatever the hell that means. More encouraging to me personally is the confirmation that Sarah Paulson (above) and Evan Peters are set to rejoin Jessica Lange (below) in the 3rd entry. Frankly, if it weren't for Lange (2-time Oscar winner btw), I wouldn't watch a single episode. And this Paulson chick is a true talent. Peters? Meh.
Perhaps the directorial talent of the series knows when to get out while the getting's good. Earlier today we heard "AHS" director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon will focus his attention on remaking the 70s slasher flick THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. Almost sad to say, but I'd much rather see a remake of that film than a lame ass "romance set in modern times"...on TV.
What says you though? Does "AHS" have your attention no matter what angle or avenue taken? Or has the show already lost you?
How dare you forget how fine Lange used to be!
Lange wouldn't return if she
Lange wouldn't return if she were wary of the quality, as she's never been hurting for work, and will be just as magnificent as she's been from day one. So thankful Paulson's returning as well, as she's nearly every bit as engrossing as Lange this season. Here's hoping that Lily Rabe returns as well.
I trust them 100% with AHS
this season was a *LITTLE* too demented for me.... and so after episode 5 I checked out... but I did like what I saw in the Asylum... I'm on board for more... just GHOSTS... not crazy Nazi doctors and whacked FBI guys and SLUTTY demon Nuns and sadistic Nun running the Asylum... my god

Seemed so... there really wasnt ONE "normal" character in the batch... which is why I finally had to check out of the Asylum.
American Horror Story needs to keep itself fresh season-after-season. Therefore, the show has to do something different--such as mixing horror and romance. That Frankenstein's monster could work. Romance has its dark and twisted elements. It has its passions which sometimes are violent passions. Many great horror stories are also romances. Dracula is a prominent example.

Furthermore, AHS is great at being weird and unexpected; often, it places discordant elements together (e.g. serial killers and alien abduction). Let's all see what the show creators have to offer.
