American Horror Story: Halloween

October 17, 2017

"Halloween Parts 1 & 2" Season 1, Episodes 4 & 5

Okay, so arguably the entire series of AHS could count as being appropriate for Halloween because it is a horror show and I mean I would agree with that. But there's only two episodes from the series that are actually set during Halloween, so we're going to talk about those. It's technically two episodes but it's a two parter, so I'm covering it in one review. During this episode, the dead can roam the earth freely as it's Halloween, so old ghosts are showing up left and right. Chad and Patrick help the Harmons decorate their house for Halloween, and their troubled history leads Vivien to look deeper into Ben's relationship with Hayden. Meanwhile, Hayden returns from the grave to shed some light on her affair with Ben. Tate and Violet go on a date and Addie goes trick or treating. A lot happens and it's nothing that I want to give away. I would only recommend watching this if you've watched this season, or want to watch the whole thing, because this show is plot heavy, it's not just something to watch if you want some light Halloween fare. But if you're a fan of the show, I think these two episodes make a great seasonal watch.
