Nazis, Fleshmasks, and Shock Treatment: AHS Teaches Us a Lesson


     American Horror Story has done it again.

     You know, when this second season started, it's a safe bet to say I was excited yet unsure.  Though titled "American Horror Story" the show seemed to me to be simply a horror story set in America.  The inclusion of the Black Dhalia and the Hollywood tours and Halloween were sort of tributes to Uncle Sam, but nothing really concrete.  Then again, maybe I didn't look at the show back then quite like I'm looking at it now.  The point is that I think AHS has definitively earned its self-appointed descriptor in the second season.

Spoilers will abound, so be careful when proceeding!
