''American Horror Story'' is a 2011 Horror series created by Ryan Murphy (creator of ''[[Nip Tuck]]'', another FX series) and Brad Falchuk (Two of the ''[[Glee]]'' co-creators) . It follows the story of a couple from Boston, Ben and Vivien, and their daughter, Violet, who decide a change in location to sunny Los Angeles will help heal the wounds left by Vivien’s miscarriage and by Ben’s affair with a former student. Their nightmares are far from over, however, as their new dream house turns out to be full of dark secrets.
The series is known as a "movie buff's delight", as its plot, soundtrack and visual style thrive on numerous classic movies and horror stories (including, but not limited to, ''[[The Shining]]'', ''Frankenstein'', ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula]]'', ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'', ''[[Twisted Nerve]]'', ''[[Taxi Driver]]'') as well as pay
Four more seasons were made, focusing of different setting and circumstances:
* [[American Horror Story: Asylum|Asylum]], set in 1960s Massachusetts.
* [[American Horror Story: Coven|Coven]], set in contemporary New Orleans.
* [[American Horror Story: Freak Show|Freak Show]], set in 1950s Florida.
* [[American Horror Story: Hotel|Hotel]], set in contemporary Los Angeles.

Line 171 ⟶ 173:
* [[Hall of Mirrors|Room Of Mirrors]]: The "Bad Girl Room".
* [[Police Are Useless]]: The dozens of murders and disappearances over the years certainly don't seem to have inspired the police to do anything like thorough investigations.
* [[The Rabbit Died]]: Invoked in the episode "The Coat Hanger" when Sister Mary Eunice says "The bad news is, the rabbit died" to Lana.
* [[Racist Grandma]]: YMMV on whether or not the realtor is old enough to be considered a grandma, but she is apologetically racist and a bit homophobic. As of "Birth" {{spoiler|Constance}} also counts.
* [[Resigned to the Call]]: Billie Dean. She certainly didn't sound happy about having to accept it, from what she told Violet.
Line 183 ⟶ 186:
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: Ben's patient Derek from "Piggy Piggy" definitely falls under this.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The man who has half of his face burnt has the surname of Harvey... as in [[Batman|Harvey Dent]].
** Larry Harvey says that when he murdered his family under the influence of voices, he felt like an obedient child. The character played by Laurence Harvey in [[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)||''The Manchurian Candidate'']] murdered people under the influence of {{spoiler|his mother.}}
** Larry Harvey is also the name of one of the founders of Burning Man. And what happened to the show's Larry Harvey?
** The second episode uses the score from ''Psycho'' and is reminiscent of ''[[The Strangers]]''.
Line 217 ⟶ 220:
* [[Straw Misogynist]]: The Armenian man who plans on buying the house displays this behavior, especially towards Constance and Moira. {{spoiler|However, this isn't the reason why Constance, Moira, and Larry team up to do away with him. He planned on tearing the house down.}}
* [[Suicide by Cop]]: {{spoiler|Tate.}}
* [[Supernatural
** When Vivien starts seeing the ghosts, he thinks she's gone crazy.
** He only believes Vivien's story about the Rubber Man ''after'' speaking to Luke. {{spoiler|And even then they both think it's someone who broke in!}}
