American Horror Story

American Horror Story è una serie antologica prodotta da FX. Ogni stagione racconta una storia autoconclusiva legata al genere horror, esplorando argomenti e sottogeneri come lo slasher, la casa infestata dagli spettri, la stregoneria, il satanismo, il manicomio e persino l’elezione presidenziale del 2016. Il cast rimane parzialmente invariato ogni anno, dando agli attori la possibilità di interpretare più ruoli. Anche se ogni ciclo di episodi è tecnicamente a sé stante, personaggi di una stagione specifica possono apparire in un’altra, dato che tutte le storie si svolgono nel medesimo universo. In particolare, l’ottava stagione è un vero e proprio crossover tra la prima e la terza.
Creato da: Ryan Murphy | Brad Falchuk |
Genere: Dramma | Mistero | Sci-Fi & Fantasy |

1Murder HouseIl terapeuta Ben Harmon, sua moglie Vivien e la loro figlia Violet si trasferiscono a Los Angeles nel tentativo di ritrovare l'unione familiare, persa a causa di alcuni orribili scandali, tra cui un aborto spontaneo e una relazione extraconiugale con una paziente. Gli Harmon si rendono conto subito che la loro nuova casa non è il luogo migliore dove ricominciare. Oltre a essere apparentemente infestata, l'abitazione confina con una famiglia invadente che sembra conoscere molti dei misteri celati da quelle mura.201112D
2AsylumBriarcliff, 1964. Sorella Jude, una suora dal passato travagliato, gestisce con il pugno di ferro un rifugio - in realtà un manicomio - per alcuni dei criminali più pericolosi del Paese; malati di mente le cui vite non sembrano avere speranza. Nella struttura, dove il pericolo si cela dietro ogni angolo e nessuno può ritenersi al sicuro, si sente parlare di nazisti, serial killer, mutanti e alieni, alcuni dei quali non sono altro che il risultato dei diabolici esperimenti del Dott. Arden, un uomo meno innocuo di quanto possa sembrare.201213D
3CovenDopo la morte misteriosa del ragazzo in seguito a un rapporto sessuale, Zoe Benson viene a conoscenza del suo potere e della sua discendenza da parte di una stirpe di streghe di Salem. La ragazza viene così mandata in un collegio privato a New Orleans che si occupa di aiutare le giovani streghe a controllare i propri poteri e a sopravvivere nel mondo moderno.201313D
4Freak ShowÈ il 1952 e nel tranquillo paesino di Jupiter, in Florida, è arrivato un gruppo di persone alquanto curioso, in coincidenza con l'insolita nascita di un'oscura entità che minaccia selvaggiamente le vite dei paesani e, allo stesso tempo, dei fenomeni da baraccone. Il gruppo è guidato da Elsa Mars, la quale sogna di trovare una casa per i suoi "mostri" e la fama per se stessa. Ma sono passati decenni da quando il pubblico guardava ai freak show come a una forma d'intrattenimento, e in un'epoca in cui la televisione sta cominciando a prendere il sopravvento, a questi individui sembra non restare altro che difendersi da chi ora li perseguita per le loro stranezze.201413D
5HotelIl misterioso Hotel Cortez di Los Angeles attira l'attenzione di un intrepido detective della omicidi, John Lowe, sulle tracce di un serial killer noto come L'Assassino dei Dieci Comandamenti. Strani individui uniti da rapporti ancora più bizzarri si aggirano per le stanze e i corridoi del Cortez, la cui proprietaria, La Contessa, è una fashionista tanto affascinante quanto insaziabile e imperscrutabile. Lei segue una dieta a base di sangue e sesso, il che la rende anche molto letale. Inoltre, l'hotel è la dimora di un demone le cui pratiche non sono meno macabre di quelle della Contessa.201512D
6RoanokeStavolta l'ispirazione nasce da fatti realmente accaduti: l'isola di Roanoke e la sua colonia scomparvero nel nulla nel 1580. Attraverso la docuserie "My Roanoke Nightmare", i coniugi Matt e Shelby Miller ripercorrono le terrificanti esperienze vissute nelle zone rurali della Carolina del Nord, dove si erano trasferiti nel tentativo di lasciarsi alle spalle un'esperienza particolarmente traumatica. Qui però si rendono conto presto che cose inquietanti stanno accadendo attorno a loro, non solo nella loro casa apparentemente infestata ma anche nella vicina colonia di Roanoke, dove oltre cento persone sono scomparse nel nulla.201610D
7CultAlly Mayfair-Richards, una ristoratrice che vive in Michigan e ha una relazione con una donna di nome Ivy, ha un crollo emotivo quando apprende che Donald Trump ha vinto le elezioni. Mentre lei comincia a vedere clown ovunque e si rivolge al suo terapista, il Dott. Rudy Vincent, Kai Anderson, un tipo con i capelli blu le cui idee razziste si basano sull'impiego della paura per controllare la gente, ne è entusiasta. Quando sua sorella Winter è assunta dalle Mayfair-Richards come babysitter del loro figlioletto, qualcosa di terribile comincia ad accadere attorno a questa famiglia.201711D
8ApocalypseSiamo in un futuro prossimo venturo e un missile balistico piomba sulla Terra dando inizio a un terrificante inverno nucleare. Quel che resta del nostro pianeta è solo un enorme cumulo di macerie, avvolte da una plumbea nebbia radioattiva letale per quei pochi sopravvissuti che si aggirano in un territorio disastrato, mentre coloro che riescono a non soccombere si trascinano come aggressivi zombie purulenti e spesso finiscono per mangiarsi l’un l’altro. Un manipolo di privilegiati è al riparo dal disastro nucleare per essersi “guadagnato” (chi grazie alla ricchezza, chi per delle straordinarie doti genetiche) un rifugio in una serie di Avamposti sparsi nel globo.201810D
91984Nell'estate del 1984, cinque amici lasciano Los Angeles per lavorare come consulenti a Camp Redwood, uno splendido campeggio immerso nella natura. Mentre si adattano ai loro nuovi incarichi, i ragazzi imparano rapidamente che i racconti attorno al falò sono la cosa meno spaventosa che possa accadere a Camp Redwood mentre un pericoloso assassino fuggito dal manicomio nel quale era rinchiuso comincia a perpetrare un massacro.20199D

Mentre la gente del posto inizia a farsi conoscere, Harry incontra il compositore e cantante Austin Sommers e la scrittrice di romanzi erotici Sarah Cunningham, dai quali si fa aiutare ad affrontare il suo blocco dello scrittore. Austin gli parla di una misteriosa pillola nera in grado di potenziare la creatività e il talento di chi la assume. Tuttavia, gli effetti collaterali sono terrificanti. Nel frattempo, strane e inquietanti creature terrorizzano questa città spoglia e vuota, mentre diversi altri eventi inquietanti accadono intorno a tutti loro.202110D

Un killer travestito da sadomaso e soprannominato Big Daddy sembra stia facendo strage di omosessuali, mentre qualcun altro sta lentamente mettendo in atto un piano che coinvolge i gay. Per ultimo, una dottoressa ha scoperto un misterioso e rarissimo virus che si sta diffondendo nella comunità a New York, e incrocia le sua informazioni con quelle di Fran circa una malattia creata in laboratorio dal governo e un progetto militare.202210D
