Did we mention that horror is awesome? Did anyone else grow up LOVING flicks like The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, and Scream? Gay guys and horror go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Why? Because we tend to face a lot of adversity in our lives, so we can commiserate with being haunted, or a maniacal serial killer who wants to wear you as a suit. Ok, maybe there’s not THAT many parallels.
Ryan Murphy is the openly gay creator of Glee, and his new series has very little to do with showtunes. FX’s American Horror Story is about a married couple (Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton) and their teenage daughter (Vera Farmiga’s little sister Taissa) who leave Boston and move into a really creepy house in LA. in an attempt to save their crumbling marriage. You would think Boston would have creepier houses than LA, but oh well.
Almost immediately, haunted shit starts happening. Jessica Lange plays their nosey neighbor (hey, movie stars can do TV now), and openly gay actor Denis O’Hare (he was the AWESOME Russell Edgington on True Blood) plays a horribly burned former resident of the spooky manse.
In future episodes the NOT openly gay Zachary Quinto will be playing another former (and gay) resident of the house. There’s also a rumor that McDermott has a pretty sweaty masturbation scene coming up. Can ya tell a gay guy’s runnin’ the show?
They just posted the first five minutes of the premiere, and if you’re thinking this is going to be some lame jump-out scares bullshit, think again. Watch after the jump (it’s violent and NSFW). If this clip is any indicator, Ryan Murphy ain’t messing around. The show premieres tomorrow night on FX at 10 PM.

“I hate trees!” LMAO!!!
Definitely going to have to check that show out. Been a long time since I’ve a good, bone-chilling horror movie. This seems like it has potential.
j. harvey?
guess who just found a typo in your blurb up there?
Well, it kind of works. They are “giving” us some minutes, no strings attached.
hmmm..
..i guess i’ll accept that.
´lucky i’m not (currently) one of the people who’s out for j.’s blood here, or i would feel inclined to give him shit for it.
“They just posted the first give minutes of the first episode”
That makes no sense at all. He obviously hit the g when he meant to hit the f for 5.
We know, I was joking around with creating a new meaning for the sentence.
i’m actually trying to figure out what you were specifically referring to, for that which didn’t make sense, at all, in your view.
obviously P.M.A.A. and i were talking about the alternate interpretation made available by mr. harvey’s typo, and having a bit of fun with that.
Hee hee! LOL! Ha ha!
i’m scared of liking this show bc like all ryan murphy productions, they start off great then end up being something you scrape out of your cat’s litter box. glee so far this season anyone? nip/tuck-any episode after the 2nd season?
Yeah, yeah, I fixed it.
great!
*hands you a chocolate-walnut cookie*
i wonder why you’re not using “Disqus,” mr. harvey?
you don’t even have a fancy star next to your name.
i think you need to distinguish yourself, some!
