    I love how many of American Horror Story Characters, places, & Events are based off of real things.
    Honestly there are SO MANY more real life references/ inspirations that could cover even more lists on AHS alone.

    “Devils night” is my favorite episode of any of the whole series. I love true crime and I think they did it so well and on top of that the make up and effects team killed it with making the actors look like the actual people. Lily rabe looked so close to Eileen Warnos.

    I haven't found out for sure yet, but I'm possibly related to Marie Laveau...my family is so mixed though, not certain. My mom was creole and native American, and something else...but back in the 50s, no one would admit that they had "mixed" blood, unless they wanted to be discriminated against, so she was pretty quiet about it all...

I also loved Feud (I hope that they bring that show back,) and the seasons of American Crime Story (I’m curious what the next season will be about.) I’m looking forward to American Horror Stories when it comes out. Can’t wait for AHS Season 10.

    The Roanoke colony was never lost - they were starving to death, so they went to the nearest native settlement and were taken in. The next wave of colonists were too horrified by the idea that white children might grow up with and marry ‘savages’, that they never went looking, and said the colony had ‘mysteriously disappeared’. The locals always knew what had happened, and still do. There are descendants still around.

    I'm currently binge watching 1984 on Prime and God, the acting is so bad. I hadn't watched AHS since S1 and it truly feels like the quality of the show has degraded considerably. Hopefully all the other seasons aren't this bad.
    EDIT: Ok so I really liked the last three episodes. I still think the acting was laughably poor at times, especially Montana, Ramirez and Booth, with some exceptions like the lady who plays Benjamin's mother, she did remarkably well and overall it was an ok season. I'm watching Asylum now, three episodes in and loving it so far!
