Spotlight: "American Horror Story"

Film posters generally receive the most attention, but the world of television has some pretty great posters too. Today we're putting the spotlight on the popular anthology series American Horror Story. The show's super-spooky tone isn't for everyone, but over the years it's provided some seriously great (and seriously scary) posters. 

No clue who/what this leathery guy is, but let's face it: wouldn't any of us try to steal Connie Britton's unborn child if given the opportunity? 

#Twinsies? 

This is what happens when you cry while wearing mascara. 

Um...what? 

It's like Little Red Riding Hood, except instead of a white hood, it's a red hood, and instead of cookies, it's pieces of human flesh. 

As you can see, Gooey Albino Nun is the true star of this season. 

Ouch! This woman needs a new acupuncturist, because hers is seriously doing something wrong. 

At least they're sharing.

While most of AHS' posters attempt (and usually succeed) to make the viewer as uncomfortable and perplexed as possible, this one ominously tells us exactly what this season is centered on: fashionable witches. 

I scream, you scream...

I guess this is a PSA about what can happen if you wear high heels too much. This season's tagline, "Wir Sind Alle Freaks", is German for "We Are All Freaks." 

This poster showcases the season's (weird, freaky) main characters in 1950s retro style. 

Fun fact: while they were taking this photo, Lady Gaga accidentally sleepwalked into the middle of the frame. (Yes, that's how she looks when she sleeps.) They took the photo anyway, and later cast her as the main character of the season. To this day, she's not aware that she's part of the show; acting like a vampire hotel owner is just part of her daily routine. 

It's hard to see what's going on through that peephole, but you can bet it's something weird and/or horrifying. 

After seeing all those previous posters, your eyes are probably furiously scanning this one, searching for something like a human/carpet hybrid or a child covered in bloody keycards. But no, it's just a hotel room.
