Say what you will, but I think that Roanoke is one of the most creative seasons of the endlessly entertaining FX series, American Horror Story. Ranking third for me just under Asylum as the best season ever, and Murder House as a classic ghost story, Roanoke is like a Mad Magazine Fold-in where life imitates art and art provokes reality and the paranormal.
Life imitates grisly reality TV in one of television’s edgiest and most acclaimed shows ever! Told in gripping true-crime documentary style, “My Roanoke Nightmare” — this season’s show within the show — chronicles shocking paranormal events. Hoping to begin a peaceful new life in a rustic North Carolina farmhouse, Shelby and Matt Miller (Emmy® winner Sarah Paulson and OSCAR® Winner Cuba Gooding Jr) flee Los Angeles, only to find murder, mayhem and madness! From a girl ghost to a swine monster to murderous nurse sisters to a sadistic cult leader known as “The Butcher” (OSCAR® Winner Kathy Bates), the couple’s home is filled with nonstop terrors.
Oh but that is just the beginning. Unlocking like a Chinese puzzle box, things become stranger and more surreal with each episode, not to mention gory as hell. The entire set came out today and we are psyched.
