One way is to subscribe to cable TV channels that air the show. But this might be a bit expensive. Another option is to buy or rent the DVDs if you prefer having a physical copy.
I'd recommend going in the order of release. Each season has its unique theme and characters, but there are some connections and callbacks that make more sense when watched in sequence.
You should start from the first season. Each season has its unique story and characters, but starting from the beginning gives you a proper introduction to the series' style and themes.
The 'Murder House' season has some great ones. For example, the pilot episode sets up the creepy haunted house premise really well.
You can watch it on Hulu. They have a good collection of episodes.
First, create a creepy setting like an old, abandoned mansion. Use vivid descriptions to make the reader feel as if they're there. Second, develop complex and mysterious characters. Maybe a character with a dark past that's slowly revealed. Third, build suspense gradually. Don't reveal the big scare right away. For example, have strange noises that keep increasing in intensity.
Develop complex and relatable characters. The more the readers can identify with the characters, the more they will feel the horror. If the character is a young mother trying to protect her children in a haunted place, the readers will be more invested. Put these characters in terrifying situations and show their emotions, like their fear, confusion and desperation.
One of the best ways to start a horror story is by setting a creepy atmosphere. Maybe describe a dark, abandoned place or a strange noise in the night.
Well, it depends on personal preferences. Some like Season 1 for its originality and horror elements. Others might prefer Season 3 for its unique theme and twists.
In my opinion, 'Murder House' is one of the best. It introduced the unique and often terrifying world of American Horror Story. The story of the haunted house and the various characters' fates was really engaging. It set the tone for the entire franchise with its dark atmosphere and complex plotlines.
For me, the best one is 'American Horror Story: Asylum'. The combination of the asylum setting, complex characters, and dark themes made it stand out. It was both terrifying and thought-provoking.
