How amazing is the latest season of American Horror Story? God, I love “Hotel” so much and despite all the criticism I think Lady Gaga is fantastic in it and the Golden Globe totally deserved (though I understand why that was criticized).
Comparing the episodic film German Angst by veteran Horror directors Jörg Buttgereit, Michal Kosakowski and Andreas Marschall with the high gloss TV show might be a bit of a stretch, but it’s pretty much as close as it gets me to write “Berlin Horror Story”. And it makes me wonder, if there ever was such a thing as a Berlin version of AHS, what would be the theme of each season? Getting rejected at the Berghain door after being a loyal guest for years? Getting busted for Schwarzfahren for the third time? Being gentrified out of your favorite shabby district? Oh my, our Berlin horrors seem to be quite minor… In the case of German Angst the three themes are domestic abuse, snuff porn and Nazis. Well, it figures.
If you have strong, strong guts and like a portion of real German horror you should check out the free screening of German Angst at the Flimmerzimmern event on January 21. See the trailer after the jump (it’s real extreme, don’t watch if you can’t handle some horror realness).

Not only is the TV show American Horror Story by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck my inspiration for the brand new visuals of our Halloween event The House of Haunted Hearts, it is also my absolute favorite show since forever. Well, since The X Files at least.
If you have already seen it, you will probably agree with me. And if you haven’t, boy you need to catch up! This show is insane and completely out of control. If you are easily offended by bizarre sex scenes, racial insensitivity, political incorrectness and overall madness, than you should maybe not watch it. Otherwise it’s going to be great fun and absolutely horrifying. The show is set up as an anthology show which is quite innovative for a TV show. Every season has a completely different storyline and set of characters, only they are played by the same cast of actors with some variations and famous guests. The star of the show is the divine Hollywood diva Jessica Lange who is just amazing in all her roles in the show.
Right now we are in season 3 that is all about fabulous, yet lethal witches. The first season was about a family moving into a murder house with lots of dangerous ghosts making their life a nightmare, and the second season was about a cruel mental asylum including possessed psycho nuns, patient torture and angry deformed monsters in the backyard. It’s all very jolly and fun – in a sweaty nightmare kind of way… Enjoy the trailers after the jump. And maybe they inspire you for a good Halloween costume?
