I watched it, I'm a little lost as well. Other than people moved into a house where people were murdered and the house is vaguely "evil" in some way, I'm not sure what is going on.

Oh, and based on her closing comment to the maid, apparently the next door neighbor has already killed the maid. Are they both ghosts?

Very interesting season opener. I like the layout of the show. Keeps you guessing and definately grabs your attention. This one will definately be in my DVR for the future!
That old maid that only the husband can see young and hot...creepy stuff...the younger version of her is actually hot!

Shane would like her...

I think so...all I know is they need to show more of the maid the way the husband see's her! If you saw the show then you know what I mean!:dr

I watched it twice and though it was odd I really liked it. I have it set up to record the entire season. Been looking forward to this. My wife and I love horror movies so I am very happy to finally see something on television that isn't SciFi channel cheese.

TiVo'ed it, but there were other shows I wanted to get to first last night (SoA, Boardwalk Empire), so I will get to it when I get to it. Ads looked intriguing though.

That is why I kinda got out of it too. It is weird that they guy sees the maid as hot and everyone else not so much.

Wow. I see serious potential in this show but I am also seriously lost. I will watch the next episode and if something don't begin to get answered then I will get a little skeptical. Then again I watched all six seasons of lost so I guess I can deal with how out there this one is.

I watched the first episode last night and DVRd the new one. I was alittle dissapointed with all the hype and the commercials for this show. It is a drama!!! Not scary and not as twisted as I had hoped. I was hoping for something more like "The Cell", loved that movie. I will give it another chance and watch the next episode though.

You're right bro. It is no horror show, but it is a good drama,a freaky drama that is, but you have to like dramas if you are going to like this.

I'm a little confused by people who don't think this is a horror show, especially those who watched the first episode.

I'm glad to see a show/movie that relies on good old fashioned atmospheric horror, instead of a guy with a mask on his face running around stabbing people with a pickaxe

I found very little horror aspect to the pilot episode. The drama seemed to really slow my interest down. I can't say I don't like it so far, just that it doesn't meet my personal expectation. The previews where so wierd and creepy, the actual show is a drama with a minimul amount of horror and creepiness.:2

How much horror is in the show depends on how you define horror.

For anyone who saw last nights episode...

Didn't you think it a little odd that his mistress was killed with one blow of the shovel to the face by a burn victim that can only use one arm! I then thought it was doubly odd that he could dig a ditch 6 feet deep with one arm :confused: ....Anyway I love the show so far but thought those events was a little far fetched.

It would be odd if in fact she had been killed by one blow to the face, but I think you might have blacked out there yourself, :r

After he hits her the first time the burn dude says something like "she's still moving" and then whacks her another 10 times with the shovel.


Good episode. I'm beginning to think the burn dude is the house personified,
Like the bartender was in The Shining

Yeah he beats her a couple for times with the shovel. It is a little far fetched. The one thing I want to know who is the "person" that was already in the ground because the maid seemed very upset.

My understanding was that it was the maid. When the man gets to the body he grabs a piece of the the corpses clothes and it is exactly what the maid is wearing. I don't think it was entirely clear so don't take my word on that. The show is still very confusing after 3 episodes but I'm glad that some questions are beginning to be answered as well as others being asked.

I agree it's the maid. When the husband is pouring the cement over the bones and building the gazebo, the prostitute whispers to the maid "Now you'll be here forever."

Last episode, it came from her cleavage--which had previously not been on display. :noon

So far, the only ones that I can conclude are NOT ghosts are the house's newest inhabitants--the 3 Harmon family members. At least, they're not yet ghosts. I'm not sure about Jessica Lange. Her daughter now seems destined to be a ghost, since she had to drag her back on to the lawn before she died. Unless she didn't get there in time.

I'm not as confused as I was midway through Lost, but it's still early :D

10-29-2011, 12:08 PM
O-ho, that IS a wicked show, indeed. Still, I am sitting here after watching 3.5 episodes, and the gay dudes
have "fluffed their house" for Halloween, and if you look screen left when they are outside, about 3/4 of the way
through Episode 4, one skeleton has the other skeleton bent over a giant pumpkin in a sex position...too funny.

Spoiler-----

I am guessing since everyone is kind of revealing plot dynamics throughout the thread, I can say...I wonder HOW
the wife is going to see the dead mistress girl they buried under the gazebo? (i.e., like the maid seems different
to the two of them.) WE KNOW the husband sees her. What is unfortunate for him is that we are outside looking in,
WE KNOW why it was not a good idea to kill her, but man, if HE ONLY knew. Episode 5 is going to be INSANE.

On the other subject, I disagree entirely, I NEVER felt like I knew what the hell was going on in LOST, and I think
the show shot itself in the foot over that. Even the END made no sense. It was 'supposed to tie it all up'...not
hardly. I am right up to speed on this show and it is DEE licious.

OLS
10-29-2011, 12:34 PM
As for who was buried under the future gazebo, I THOUGHT it was Burn Dude's kids or something, maybe a baby's dress
or something like that, but that doesn't really make sense in the end. I guess in context of the comment from J. Lange,
it should be the maid. But a filthy rotted piece of cloth is hardly ammunition to say, "it's just like what the
maid was wearing." :r I thought it had to be the original owner's baby or wife and baby, but why would Burnboy be
so poignantly engaged in memories, or so it would seem? But I am also not sure why Burnboy's kids would be buried
out back, so....

I wondered about that, but I think he's legit. Not sure how he missed Dylan McDermott beating the snot out of Burn-guy in the yard, though. :D

My wife suggested during last night's episode that Violet's boyfriend & the Burn-guy might be the same ghost, just years apart. Mostly based on the timing of when the Burn-guy was banging on the front door and then suddenly the boyfriend was in the front yard throwing rocks at Violet's window.

It's also clear from the dead high school ghosts (I assume) who came looking for revenge, that Violet's boyfriend is also a ghost. I think it was the cheerleader ghost who said, "I would be 34 now." That would mean she was killed around 18 years ago--presumably by the boyfriend--but he still looks 18 himself.

I bet the security guy is legit as he drove that chick to the police station and then she was not there. He would've known she was a ghost if he was too. I like how the ghost are so mum on what they are to the family living in the house.

I am thinking that the boy and burnboy can't be the same person. I can't see the process of recycling ghosts.
I look at him and think, yeah, one could be the young version of the other. But I still think conceptually that it's
just not possible. But hey, this show is pretty out there. But I also thought all the ghosts from all the murders
are all just walking around the yard and house waiting to interact. Then a bunch show up at the beach. And I think
that husband has just no started to figure out that there are actually actual ghosts on the premises. Was that MAGGOTS
that Haydn spit up?? Yech. How long before they get the picture that every single person they see is dead, lol.
Buy is THAT going to be a day.

It could just be me but I don't think the burn guy is a ghost. Most of the other characters don't mention their relation to the house but he is open about it and says he was in jail and just got out. Plus what would a ghost need with $1000? I don't think he would hassle him for money just for a scare. :2

Didn't the burn guy take a major beating by the husband? Even though he was asking for 1K, I think it was just to put a worry on the husband as money is tight and often a stress epicenter issue in families.

Heck, if he knows they're all ghosts, he go back to having sex his side thang and the maid without worries....

This thread got me intrigued about the show. Going through baseball withdrawal, so I spent an evening watching episodes 1 through 4 On Demand. Not sure that was a good idea ... that was a whole lot of creepy stuff in a row. Left me feeling sort of unsettled, maybe a little dirty, but I'm hooked.

The ghost thing seems to be only one "Horror" of this show. It's the play of the bazaar situation with the weaknesses of the characters. What does the husband do when the burn man kills his girlfriend? Can't call the cops ... how do you explain this? What would his wife do? Trapped. So, he lets the burn man bury her in the back yard and then builds a gazebo on top of her. Of course, you have to think we haven't seen the last of the girlfriend. A true horror in the making from the very beginning.

I'll be watching episode 5. So much of this is spinning out of control and yet to be revealed. For example, the show begins with these old photos of children. Have I missed something? What's the deal with those pictures?

OLS
11-05-2011, 07:56 PM
And WHO KNOWS what the voice is saying as those pictures go past. It's the same word over and over,
but I can't make it out, and maybe it's not even a word.
I am no plot scientist, but it could be that the pictures somehow represent all of the little aborted babies that the
original owner of the house sent to the great unknown. This is a cool show indeed. but I had been watching the
Walking Dead over 4-5 nights, and when I finally got back to Episode 5, I was almost LOST mentally, I had a rough
time getting back into it. It's like a year had gone by. But now I am back into the swing.

Dang, the hot version of housekeeper is just too darn hot!

I think the baby will look like the creapy thing in the attic.

Remember that she is having twins. I am thinking one will be "normal" and the other is going to be freaky.

This show gets weirder and weirder and weirder. But that young maid is freaking hot. The older version, not so much.

I like how they continue to give out little tidbits on the history of the house each show. I'm starting to mentally put together the chronology.

Definitely agree about the maid--"hey, a little less teeth...!" :jd :lr

Weird stuff is going on but that is why I like it. I agree that nobody would just eat a brain when told it is good for the baby. When they where suffocating the potential buyer guy with the bag did you see the maid changed for a second from young to old? I thought that was cool. Good show, I am enjoying it.

I hate to say it but for me this show is heading south. I was gripped for about 4 episodes but now
I am kind of yawning. We are learning more and more about what's really going on, but the story in the present
is workin my nerves.

The story has taken a cool turn. Does the Dr. Harmond know he's seeing ghosts. Man was he of good moral stature to turn down those two hotties on his sofa!

I finally caught up on this show and I have to say I was digging it until the reveal toward the end of the latest episode.

Spoilers



The whole thing about the second baby being the Antichrist changes it from being a show about a haunted house to being an Apocalyptic situation of greater importance than I think it deserves. I wish they had just left it at being a haunted house and left the religious aspect out of it. I'm getting sick of the heavy handed "good vs evil" religious imagery that keeps getting inserted into shows. It ruined the last seasons of Lost and Battlestar Galactica.

I am about three episodes behind, two after last night's viewing, and may I say the episode with Mena Suvari
suddenly got this show back on track, I guess having the wife away keeps me from throwing things at the TV.

Season finale should be great, I believe I remember after about the 4th episode they interviewed the creators who mentioned due to the show's quick popularity they had been signed up for a second season. :tu

This is also a lot like what happened with LOST. The show was planned to be all twisted upon itself, but at first
no one was watching it, so I think they tried kind of a premature wrap up for the storyline, and then they got some
steam built up, and had to get themselves out of all the stuff they did to the plot. I think that this show, AHS, kind of
suffered from the same fate. The storyline went WAY down the track, and now that they have been given their orders
to make more, they are going to have to fix some of the big things they wasted plot on as a one-hit wonder.
I am probably dead wrong, but bringing baby antichrist in on episode 9 was kind of a endgame move, IMO.
I wonder if it will be Justin Beiber?

I know TV is a business, but as far as story-telling goes, what would be the harm in wrapping up this season and putting an end to the Harmon family storyline? The house can go on living, killing, haunting, etc., but after the past 2 episodes, the Harmon's seem to be a.... skeleton... of their former selves. :D Not sure how much more that dysfunctional family drama can play out.

I was kinda thinking the same thing, either that or my guess is the father is going to kill himself and we are going to see some of the Harmon family in future episodes...maybe a new family moves in and the same type of twisted stuff keeps happening.

I dunno, I am not paid for this type of stuff...all I care about it that it's entertaining!

I don't think Dr. Harmon will kill himself, but somehow will be alive at the end as a cliffhanger to next season. The wife and daughter tell him to run for it. Now that the maid is ugly, wife is stuck in a state of just gave birth; there is only his side thing that he no longer likes. Not much reason to stick around.

Great season finale! Have been busy lately and haven't had a chance to post on my thoughts...Jeff if you are reading this now you should stop since this will be a spoiler for you!

I was not shocked to see Ben Harmon (father) die. I assumed that he actually would kill himself in the grief from his family now all being dead around him. Didn't think the ghosts would have killed him. Now he is stuck there with all his family and might actually be the happiest he's been in a long time.

Should be interesting to see how the 2nd season unfolds...especially with that crazy demon child that killed his nanny!

Except now he has to deal with his wife & mistress constantly b1tching at each other for all eternity! It's gonna be enough to want to die all over again.

I think it's sad that he didn't stick around long enough to figure out what was going on and maybe even to talk to his
neighbor about the evils of dying on the property. You'd think with all that experience running around there, that some-
one would have tipped him off. sheesh.

New episode tonight! 10 PM EST. If you haven't gotten into it yet, take some time and do so. Much more well drawn out and, to be frank, the imagery and characters are so much more disturbing this time around. The writing definitely went up a notch and it isn't just a clusterfck of under-developed malevolence this time around.

I tried to stick this one out, but after the wife got sent to the hospital/asylum, I kind of lost the urge
to seek out the new episodes. The show was good, but just not......un-LOST-ey enough for me.
I seem to relate all weirdo shows to Lost and remember how angry and disappointed I was with the bull5hi+ ending
and all the lies the writers told about how it was going to all come together and not to worry. When I think of all
the time I wasted, the YEARS of watching and waiting for thursday night to arrive. All I ended upp with was 5 years
more wrinkles and less hair and no closure or even enjoyment.

I see the same thing happening with the AHS trajectory. I think they did a great job with the early episodes and
I got the impression I was gonna get shanked again, so I stopped watching, lol.

I don't know where they will go but Jessica Lange is already signed to be in it. I like how they incorporate other things into the show like the first season with the black dahlia and this season with Anne Frank.

The violence doesn't bug me, as that's the way this series is, but the Santa scenes were a bit much. You're right though, it's like a new character every episode. They need to keep focusing on developing the cast that's already been introduced.

I read up until page 6 and had to stop (plotlines discussed) I started watching this show on Saturday and I am up to Season 1 Episode 10 and I am loving this show.....not very scary, a little creepy, but the writing keeps me coming back.

I have heard that season 2 is not as good, but I am still going to check it out. Has it been renewed for a season 3?

It has! Jessica lange is coming back as well as other actors have already signed. Apparently there were some hints in the last 4 episodes as to what season 3 is going to be about. I agree that it wasn't as good as season 1 but still good none the less. Can't wait until October!
