HauntingHollow 4,310 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Why is it called American Horror Story when it is not scarry or horror at all ? I did not feel scared at all after 6 seasons so why ? It should be called American Thriller and Sometimes a Story You can not hide if nobody pays attention to you :* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borislshere 53,099 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The show is horror whether you find it scary or not. I don't find many horror movies scary but they're still horror. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well speaking that horror is a split genre from thriller which is further spilt from the mystery genre would explain it. Idk the state of the being horrorfied is pretty subjective which would explain the why everyone feels differently. AHS had never really been scary for me anyways so I don't see fault in your post lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeshy Keety 9,909 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I hate to pull the dictionary card, but horror is: a very strong feeling of fear, dread, and shock They must be relying on the last two parts of the definition of horror. As for scary, remember, Ryan Murphy did make Glee first They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Oh and to answer the OP, it's because the premise revolves around multiple horror motifs present in the horror genre Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
