The Witching Hour Episode 1: American Horror Story

Kicking off our first episode ever with host Lucy Spangler's favorite topic of all time, Ryan Murphy slander!! Today we bravely examine a good and a not-so-good season of Murphy's anthology TV series American Horror Story, looking into the relationship between postmodernism and this 21st century horror.
