Winter TV Finales - American Horror Stories - Season Two

American Horror Stories concluded last Friday, meaning the majority of the eight episode second season aired in Winter, making it one of the last posts in the Winter TV Finales series.

Created by Ryan Murphy + Brad Falchuk for FX on Hulu, the second season premiered on  late July.

The eight episodes were seriously hit and miss. My favourites had to be Aura, Bloody Mary and the finale, Lake.

The season featured a wild variety of Murphy's familiar faces across the stories this season. Including Nico Greetham, Cody Fern, Denis O'Hare, Matt Lasky, Gabourey Sidibe, Max Greenfield, Austin Woods, Seth Gabel, Rebecca Dayan, Cameron Cowperthwaite, Spencer Neville and Teddy Sears, Kristine Froseth, Houston Jax Towe, Abby Corrigan, Simone Recasner, Maryssa Menendez, Emily Morales-Cabrera, Caitlin Dulany, Joel Swetow, Lily Rohren, Vince Yap, Nancy Linehan Charles, Bella Thorne, Anthony De La Torre, Billie Bodega, Julia Schlaepfer, Addison Timlin, Ian Sharkey, Dominique Jackson, Quvenzhané Wallis, Raven Scott, Kyla Drew, Kyanna Simone, Shane Callahan, Ryan D. Madison, Tiffany Yvonne Cox, Judith Light, Britt Lower, Todd Waring, Cornelia Guest, Madison Iseman, Jeff Doucette, Sara Silva, Jessika Van, Chelsea M. Davis, Alicia Silverstone, Olivia Rouyre, Bobby Hogan, Heather Wynters and Jarrod Crawford.


For me the most interesting were Alicia Silverstone in Lake and Gabourey Sidibe in Aura.

I think I enjoyed more episodes in season one. This season felt a little rushed, unfinished and short of scares.

To be honest across cinema and screen we have so much horror to choose from right now, I would struggle to recommend some of these episodes.

Here is hoping the upcoming season of American Horror Story is more focused along with more importantly more scary!
