Their story is later turned into a reenactment film, starring Sarah Paulson’s character. It follows a couple moving into a haunted house in North Carolina, who recount their experiences with the Roanoke ghosts to a documentary crew.

Yet another ghost story, Roanoke is simply fine. One thing’s for sure: Ryan Murphy has never been known for his subtlety. I can’t say I made it through more than a few episodes of Cult, and when Episode 1 featured Evan Peters smearing pulverized Cheeto dust on his face, I knew this season just wasn’t for me. This season is ill-conceived at best and tacky and boring at worst. While we wait for American Horror Story: Double Feature, let’s break down a quick ranking of the series’ first nine seasons (which are currently streaming on Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime).Īll corners of the media were trying to reckon with the election of President Trump in 2017, and that’s the through-line of AHS’s most political season, Cult. From murderous clowns to vampire-filled hotels, American Horror Story has tried it all. And credit where credit’s due, the series is groundbreaking, bringing horror to a larger audience than ever before and employing a compelling anthology format. But despite my waning interest by the end of each year, I persevere because ultimately, American Horror Story is an inviting mess that’s a ton of fun. With every new season of American Horror Story, I decide to give it another chance, hoping maybe this time I’ll be able to make it through whatever convoluted tale Ryan Murphy’s long-running FX series has in store.
