From Glee and American Horror Story creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, here are 10 ~killer~ reasons this satirical horror-comedy show is a must-watch this fall.
1. The One-Liners
I didn’t know they could say some of these things on TV.
2. Chanel Oberlin & Her Minions
This ruthless sorority president (Emma Roberts) may be a heartless, cruel, and vaguely racist (accidental?) murderer, but this b*tch is hands-down the funniest character on the show.
3. The Mythology
In 1995, a Kappa Kappa Tau pledge died after giving birth at a party, and it may-or-may-not-be-but-totally-is related to all the murders. Is that baby, now college-aged, enacting revenge? Why was it covered up by the school? Who else knows about it? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
4. Chad Radwell
Chanel’s ex-boyfriend may seem like your typical homophobic frat bro with a death fetish, but he’s so much more than that. Maybe.
5. The Death Scenes
Am I a terrible person? Probably. But some of the moments that had me laughing the hardest were the death scenes — from Chanel #2’s text conversation with the Red Devil to Deaf Taylor Swift singing her heart out as the lawnmower ran her over. RIP.
6. Zayday Williams
Smart, funny, and one of the only characters with a moral compass, Zayday’s definitely fan favorite material. Bonus points for definitely probably NOT being the killer. Besides, who doesn’t love Keke Palmer?
7. Chanel #3’s Earmuffs
Fun fact: Chanel #3’s bizarre fashion choice is actually a homage to the actress’s famous mom: Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. According to Ryan Murphy, we’ll find out the special reason the character wears the earmuffs in episode six!
8. Jamie Lee Curtis
The school’s morally ambiguous Dean Munch, played by the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis, hates Chanel, Kappa Kappa Tau, and pretty much all her students, including Chad, who she basically blackmails into sleeping with her (???). Still, rumor has it that she was involved in the 1995 bathtub incident, and she definitely can’t be removed from the list of Red Devil suspects.
9. Boone (Nick Jonas)
There’s definitely something going on with this closeted frat brother, and I don’t mean between him and Chad. But with that crazy reveal at the end of episode two, the good news it that we’ll probably be seeing a lot more of his beautiful face.
10. The Mystery
FOR REAL THOUGH. WHO IS THE RED DEVIL? WHO IS THE BATHTUB BABY? WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG FOR THE NEXT EPISODE?
