American Horror Story: Conven

American Horror Story: Conven

"American Horror Story: Coven lacks any significant or meaningful deaths, marring any true sense of horror or foreboding that previous seasons have utilised to a far greater extent".
Season 3 isn't as horrified as the other seasons, this season has deaths but its nothing if they get brought back to life comparing to the other horrific scenes in different seasons.
" Interestingly enough, the show, which debuted in early October on FX, ranked highest of all FX series premiers in women ages 18-49." Other than it being less of a horror, I really enjoyed this season having most of the main characters women who had power. It is really different to women being seen in horror. I think this is why this season was appealing to a lot of women.

This season has some historically significance which is an interesting fact I learnt, one of the characters Madam LaLaurie is based on a really socialite/serial killer from 1834, this season shows the character as a racist and looking for immortality and she gets what she is given but its all not what she expects.

This is my favourite season as the women are shown as strong main roles in this horror series where normally it would be the women scared and frightened. It has gave me some interesting ideas for my final looks and I can't wait to start.
