Another triumph for the AHS franchise!!
Next to Murder House and Coven, Freakshow became another one of my fan favorite seasons for American Horror Story!
Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett and Jyoti Amge’s performances in Freakshow were incredible and I love this series’ theme of morality. I also enjoyed how actors and actresses with qualities a regular person would seem strange – like Jyoti, Mat Fraser and Rose Siggins – are involved, making Freakshow authentic. I think because of that, many people who are misunderstood and have quirks society wouldn’t understand will enjoy watching this season of American Horror Story!
This season makes you ask: Who are the real monsters? The members of Elsa’s Cabinet of Curiosities, or people no one would suspect of committing unspeakable acts?

will love this season
Season 4 is very dear to many hearts. The goths, the rejected, the handicapped, gay, misfits, any of us who have been stared at or outcasts, will love this season. The entire cast was great, most notably the women. Jessica Lange in her Dietrich-esque leading role is excellent (as always) and Kathy Bates stole my heart in this one, as the bearded lady. She gives a speech about “hope” and it’s dangers that is reason enough to buy the boxed set. We’ll all identify with that.
There is gore, sexy stuff (“Dandy” despite being a despicable character, is hopelessly sexy) great acting, very cool music, and most of all, the majority of the cast are ‘the real deal’ and not really actors. I have season 1, 2 and 4 on DVD. Season 3 and this current one, 5, will not be a part of my collection. Something missed the mark in those two season that I cannot quite pinpoint.
yes, we can, can you? –

Freakshow…a la Excellent!
Talk about marathoning……I’ve been a fan (although I’ve been taken aback several times because of the extent of the content) since the beginning season but ‘Freakshow’ has out done itself!! This anthology has always been exciting but the characters and the story lines surpass all others and the special effects are incredible!! It also provides the viewer the ability to look deeply inward to examine how we view those who might be ‘different’.

TWISTY THE CLOWN WILL TERRORIZE YOUR DREAMS
It’s another season of blood and gore but AMERICAN HORROR STORY never fails to deliver. FREAK SHOW takes us behind the scenes of a carnival that seems to stay in one place. No wonder they have trouble getting an audience. Our favorite stars are back and this season lovely Jessica Lange is Elsa Mars, the owner of the freak show and mother hen to her outcast troupe.
I loved the previous 3 season of AMERICAN HORROR STORY so I was eager to watch Season 4. It was hard to get beyond the first couple of sad and violent episodes but I stuck with it. Expect to see the most frightening clown you could imagine. Twisty the Clown is the stuff of nightmares.
At times, Season 4 seems confused and directionless and then it gets back on track. Twisty will haunt your dreams and then he is gone and then his back and then gone. The writers seemed not to know how to follow through with Twisty’s story.
The problems with FREAK SHOW are the multiple stories and the “fake” freaks. This season Sarah Paulson plays Siamese twins–two heads with one set of arms and legs. The visual effects don’t often work well and we see one Paulson face at a time or Paulson with a fake head. Evan Peters is Lobster Boy with fake hands, Kathy Bates, with a seriously odd accent, wears a fake beard to be the bearded lady.
The real gems of this season are the life “freaks” and let’s not call them freaks. They are vibrant people overcoming serious abnormalities. As I watched the show, I wondered how they made Paul the Illustrated Seal look so real with his deformed arms. How did they make Ma Petite look like a living baby doll? Fantastic visual effects to make Legless Susi “legless.” I researched the characters and found the actors have special conditions that make them “different”. These fine actors are the stars of the show. Mat Fraser really has deformed arms and Rose Siggins lost her legs up to her hips. And amazingly, Jyoti Amge is a full grown woman just over 2 feet tall. These actors are amazingly talented and I hope they were return in future seasons.
In the end, the real freaks are murderous Twisty the Clown and pretty rich boy Dandy Mott (Finn Wittrock). Being a freak is not a physical deformity but rather having an evil mind and soul. In the carnival world, the freaks are a family and stay together. There is a strong homage to the 1932 cult classic freaks that actually featured circus freaks getting their revenge. Don’t miss with one of their kind or be prepared to pay the ultimate price. Season 4 doesn’t play as much on the supernatural as in the past. Only one other worldly character appears to take the soul of the most evil.
There is an amazing array of actors in this season beyond our regulars. This season’s visiting singer turned actress is Patti LaBelle. Pepper the pinhead is back and barely seen until she is featured in a sad and tragic story. They even cross over to the connection to Season 2 AYSLUM. What could be better? Season 4 will keep your interest but the writers have lost their way with the Elsa Mars character. Her story goes all over the place.
Sometimes we hate her and other times she is an object of pity. The season finale is an incredible disappointment as if the writers had to quickly tie up their story and took a page from the TV show LOST.
Although I was disappointed at times in Season 4, I was totally addicted and can’t wait for Season 5.
