Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Apart from Infantata from Murder House I've never been actually scared by American Horror Story.It's always just been disturbing and sick, so why is everyone bashing it for being "gory but not scary" when it never has been scary?

Phoenix 17,395 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It is scary tho. Not too much, just a bit, not like other seasons were such a horrendous horror. I think it's perfect the way it is so far. People take the "horror" word in the series tittle too seriously. 💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 American HORROR story. Need I say more? "Horror is a genre seeking to elicit a negative emotional reaction from viewers by playing on the audience's primal fears." Horror doesn't mean that they need to make you jump and scream. Making you uncomfortable by having a rape scene with a monster with a metal dildo, is just as horrifying as somebody jumping out of a doorframe with a chainsaw.

Evan Peters 10,738 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well just because it isn't scary to you doesn't mean everyone feels the same way :P Actually, I've seen people complaining because it is scary (which is so awkward because the show is called American Horror Story). I've personally never found the show scary but yesterday did creep me a little, especially the man climbing out of the mattress. I think it's more annoying seeing people whine about the gore and d--g usage that's going on in Hotel. The central theme is addiction and ya'll are crying about people shooting up? as if someone isn't shooting up at this very moment. Plus, Ryan said this season was ****ed up. He just finally delivered when he said that and I don't think people thought it was going to be this over the top, lol. And with Mr. March showing up next episode, these people either need to ditch the show or grow accustom to violence that's going to be in the entire season emma roberts is an abuser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when I think of horror, I think of jumping and screaming and that is what I expect from something in the genre of horror, not else. And many people are like that too. If it's not that kind of scary it's not true horror, more like a thriller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzily 14,543 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I do get scared by it sometimes.

Evan Peters 10,738 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I do get scared by it sometimes. Those complaints are so annoying. they were complaining about the d--gs and blood so much that they forgot to throw a fit about the rape plot ryan has in every season (seriously, how did gabriel not die?? he was pounded with a drill dildo ) But i think that's the most annoying part of the fandom. they complain about every trivial thing. like the d--gs and blood...because apparently blood..and d--gs..have never been apart of the show emma roberts is an abuser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Tulip 12,428 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 American Horror Story was never scary to me. It was always just suspense and spooky but not scary at the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 12,115 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (seriously, how did gabriel not die?? he was pounded with a drill dildo ) We don't know yet how the demon operates. In Gabriel's mind, that's what happened. But we don't know yet if that translates to the physical reality, if that makes sense. And to the OP: I thought this episode was easily one of the spookiest of the entire series. Genuinely eerie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware, I was just speaking in a realistic sense lol. Ryan recently just said in an interview with EW that the Addiction Demon and Sally are a sort of Yin and Yang duo but yeah, we don't know if it actually happened or not. The Demon punishes those addicted and Sally sympathizes with them because she knows what it's like. At least that's how ryan described it emma roberts is an abuser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 American Horror Story is "horrific" rather than pandering to cheap scare tactics. More like Steven King and Dean Koontz than Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot Poof 2,236 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 When horror shows/movies veer into comedy or drama, it just kinda lets me down.However, Hotel was promised to be straight-up horror, and it looks like that's the case. So far, I have no complaints about it. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
