Halloween is Friday and we have been super excited to celebrate. We will end Spooky Fridays with FX's "American Horror Story: Freakshow" and NBC's "Marry Me." Let's get to it!
American Horror Story
I have been watching this season of AHS after Alyssa recommended it to me and it just seemed like a fun thing to watch to celebrate Halloween. Although, according to Alyssa, this season has been a little disappointing on the scare factor. I actually agree with her, after watching a little bit of season two of AHS.(Which was just plain awesome!) This season tries to make something out of the freaks, but they really aren't the most interesting part of the series. It is claimed that normal people are really interested in freaks for entertainment and sexual pleasing purposes. This season they try to show how the freaks want to be accepted into society and they are willing to do anything they can to protect themselves from discrimination. They have this clown, who is pretty creepy at first, but he loses that vibe as the show goes on. The clown kills people and selectively kidnaps some, but the reasons why he does it are unknown. (The clown can do a good job of creating tension that would cause a scare, but the scares that happen are really disappointing.) There is also this momma's boy who they introduced in the show. He really likes the creepy clown and wants to be friends with him for some reason. We last left off with Elsa(the leader of the freak show) summoning Edward Mordrake, who is a two faced person who will kill someone on Halloween if a freak performs in a show. (Edward's story is very interesting and it's worth looking up.)
Edward Mordrake goes to each freak and asks them specific questions in order to find the purist freak to add to his collection. His questions give good back stories on the freaks. He lastly interviews Elsa, and tells her that he is thinking about taking her because she is being ignorant about her talent and has questionable motives for having a freak show. Meanwhile the clown does more creepy things for the people he has kidnapped. (Seriously, why does this clown want these people?) Jimmy and Emma Roberts catch the clown chasing this girl and they go to investigate. Elsa reveals that she was a prostitute who would inflict pain on people for arousal. (This made her feel famous because people loved her and were paying to watch her.) Edwards second face isn't satisfied with her story and wants to know how miserable the body part that makes her a freak makes her feel. It apparently feeds off of it and those who have horrible stories get to live. Jimmy discovers that the clown is the killer and is willing to go to the cops, but momma's boy knocks him and Emma out. Elsa eventually became a German porn star. One day she was making a movie while drugged and for some reason two men cut off her legs with a chainsaw. These men left her to die and Elsa was lucky to be saved (but she doesn't appreciate it) by one soldier who really liked her. Ever since she knew her career was over. The second face says that she is the one to go and Elsa is very happy to be taken. But Edward doesn't kill her yet. Momma's boy and the clown have fun with Emma and the rest of the people who have been kidnapped. Jimmy saves everyone and the clown knocks him out. Edward decides to visit the clown and see if he is the one who has to go. Now we get a back story on the clown. Clowny loved being a clown because he could make the children laugh, but didn't like the freaks. (The freaks were very mean to him.) The freaks made up a molestation accusation against the clown, saying that kids would say that he touches them. Due to the accusation he couldn't be a clown anymore and he decided to recycle garbage into toys.(No one wanted his stuff so that made him sad. Clowny decides to attempt suicide by shooting himself in the mouth with a shot gun. Which explains the way he mouth looks.) After he did this he decided to perform at the freak shows. Clowny thought that the freaks stole the kids away from him, so he decides to kill people and keep some for a show. Edward's other face decides that Clowney is the one to go and he kills him. This was because the clown couldn't see what he was doing was wrong. Momma's boy finds the clown dead and he decides to take his place by putting on his mask. The cops come and interview Jimmy and Emma. Everyone is naming Jimmy a hero for saving the kids and getting rid of the killer. The towns people come to the freak show and show Jimmy respect by shaking his hand. Everyone seems really accepting of the freaks and show them all appreciation for the first time. They now sell out a show and that guy that Emma works with has come too. Momma's boy finally cracks and kills the maid. This has to be one of the best episodes this season. I really appreciated the back stories as it helped to tie a lot of the show together.
Marry Me:Scary Me
It's Halloween in this episode and everyone is making plans to go out trick or treating or attending fun parties. This blonde lady(Julie) who has Annie's dream life(Julie has kids and thinks that she is better than everyone else), comes over to invite them to some safety thing for Halloween. She makes fun of Annie for several odd reasons and I really do not like her at all. Jake and Annie get upset when they aren't invited to the best party of Halloween, so Jake decides to contact the party list guy so they can get invited. (But Annie thinks it a better idea to do something new and not go to the cool party.) They decide to do trick or treating with the kids because they are so adorable. Jake and Annie end up going to Julie's class. (I can see something not good going to happen between them sometime soon.) Julie doesn't want them to do anything fun and turns down all of Annie's and Jake's ideas. Annie decides to do a haunted house themed thing for kids just because she hates Julie. So Jake's fat friend is going trick or treating with Kay, and he claims to have found the best street for candy. It turns out that he went to his ex wife's street to spy on her. (Seriously he needs to let her go. Its so confusing!In just about every episode he seems like he is happier without her, but he can't shake her off his mind.) Annie and Jake have their haunted house and the children seem to enjoy it. (Which makes Annie happy because it proves that Julie was wrong.) Julie comes over and was mad that they did the house anyway. Annie and Jake rub it in her face because their haunted house was a huge success. Denna calls them saying they could come to the party and that there was some drama happening. (She for Halloween dressed up like a slut and wore a very revealing outfit.) But they decide to not go to the party and have sex. However this little boy stays over their apartment and kills the mood. So they have to take him home. Jake's fat friend is upset that his ex wife is so much happier than he is. (I think he really needs to move on, he can't keep his mind set in the past.) To get rid of the kid they have to go to Julie. Annie reveals that she doesn't like Julie because she is a mom expert and Annie feels like she won't be a good mom. (Haha that is not true, kids take experience and lots of patience.) Jake's fat friend convinces Kay to steal a bowl from his ex wife. His ex-wife feels very sentimental about the bowl and due to the fact that she is hurting too, he gives it back. The boy in their apartment was Julie's son and they seem to be on good terms after Annie returns him. This episode was pretty entertaining and I'm still a huge fan of this show.
Happy Halloween Everyone! Please have a fun and safe day. <3 Katrina and Alyssa.
