I was kind of late to the American Horror Story party
but my daughter suggested to me that I may enjoy the series, so I started
watching and I am hooked and I am only in season two. The episodes are engaging, and I like that each
season is a completely different storyline and while there may be some actors
from one season to another they play a completely different character. Like
Zachary Quinton plays a ghost attempting to keep his home in season one’s
Murder House and in season two’s Asylum he plays a psychiatrist.
I picked up a couple of autographs and relic cards. The
autographs are Joseph Fiennes and Naomi Grossman. They both play powerful
characters in Asylum; Grossman’s Peeper appears more towards the end of the
season. Quite a few of the actors added an inscription based on their character on their autograph
cards. Fiennes plays Monsignor Howard so his inscriptions are religious based while Grossman plays a pinhead named Pepper who is illiterate so she signed "Pepper" as her character would have signed.
Here is what Naomi Grossman normally looks like, a huge difference from Peeper.
I liked this relic card especially because it isn’t the standard clothing relic, but instead a piece of
a broken record. In the show, which takes place in an asylum (I know, the
season name gives it away right?), Sister Jude, who runs the Briarcliff Manor
Asylum, insists that the song “Dominique” by the Singing Nun play on a constant
loop on a record player in the rec room. Later in the season the record gets
broken and Breygent took the pieces and used them for prop cards, a very cool
idea.
I've been on the AHS train since season five and season one is one of the best slices of Television that I've ever seen. I did not realize that they made cards for that show though - the record prop card is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteI think I watched one or two episodes a few years ago. Maybe I should go back and give it another shot.
