American Horror Story Gets Full Second Season

Good news for fans of the Gothic series An American Horror Story... the FX Network has renewed the show for a full Season Two, 13 episodes! The spooky series starring Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton, Zachary Quinto and Academy Award winning actress Jessica Lange has already been both a critical and commercial success, so the decision to renew was an easy one. This is quickest the FX Network has ever renewed a show, as they normally wait for a half season before deciding to bring a series back.

The Network is featuring a special mini-marathon of all the broadcasted shows this evening, in honor of Halloween. If you haven't caught the show yet, I would suggest doing so this evening, for an extra-spooky delight (especially that full body latex wearing spirit in the advertisements!). Since its debut, each episode of the show is averaging about 4.2 million viewers, one of the highest ratings for any FX series to date.

Did An American Horror Story Knock Your Socks Off or Leave You Cold?

After much fanfare (aided by an inventive ad campaign featuring that creepy spectacular "spirit" dressed in full-body latex), FX's An American Horror Story debuted last night. The haunted house drama features an ensemble cast including Dylan McDermott (The Practice), Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) and Oscar-winner Jessica Lange (she can go ahead and accept her Emmy trophy now!). Full of spooky frights, spine-shivering special effects and great acting and spot-on writing/direction, it's already receiving the lion's share of great reviews. The claims that it is like nothing you've ever seen on television before were not over-stated. Watch out for upcoming special guest appearance from Heroes star Zachary Quinto. Definitely a show to keep watching. Grade: A-

Interview with American Horror Story Actress Jessica Lange

I have to admit, those ads featuring a full-body latex wearing "spirit" are totally creeping me out, but FX network's upcoming series American Horror Story has a great pedigree, starring Oscar-winner Jessica Lange and coming from the creator of Glee. Here's an interview with Jessica Lange regarding the well-received series, which premieres tomorrow:
