Ryan Murphy : American Horror Story, And Scream Queens

America loves to be scared and one of the most recent TV shows, American Horror Story, is leading the way in the biggest screams. Striking terror in the hearts of fans around the world, this show offers a new way to embrace fear and it’s loved by viewers everywhere. Even Universal Studios Hollywood is paying homage to the TV show by offering an evening of fear at the Halloween Horror Nights. As for those zombie Flamingos? Well, they need a better agent as they are just hanging out on a street

As you grow older your views on what you fear change. As a child, I developed a fear of little things such as ghosts, the dark, etc. Once I grow into an adult I developed a of things observed on a daily. Americans between the age group of children and adolescents introduce themselves to bigger fears by watching movies that replayed on the already experienced fears. For example: Freddy Krueger, Jason, Vampires, Werewolves, etc. Many people in society watch these horror movies, and movie goers assume that directors based the movies on serial killers, who become glorified for the crimes committed and made into huge stars that we love. In the film Halloween, a little boy name Michael Myers kills his sister at the age of six. Twenty years later, Michael return 's to his home town Haddonfield, Illinois to kill a group of teenagers that appear around his deceased sister age. Halloween identifies as one of those gruesome films that you question, because he was a six year old when he first killed. To society Michael exemplifies monster qualities because at that age, how can someone so young stab his sister or anyone to death. Michael Myers poses as a Monster in America, he demonstrates traits of the devil in him and express his hate by killing his family, by existing in a dysfunctional family.

The consequences of these people making their relationships expendables means they are pushing away and sacrificing the people that love them the most in order to obtain something they think they want/need, but overall has very low importance to their lives.

When considering the similarities between Lois Lowry’s novel, The Giver, and the real world; one must consider all aspects of our domain, and history. A few similarities stand out as being predominantly controlling. The Giver, possesses several resemblances to Nazi Germany. The novel also portrays an appalling method for dealing with newborns that are less desirable. The novel also reflects on the way those who are too old are sent on a vacation to elsewhere. The novel leads one to assume that the handicapped would be met with equal cruelty. The story primarily sets forth ideas that are relevant of the era; when politically correctness would have been obstructing to an individual’s uniqueness. There reaches a point where conformity and perfection is controlling of an individual’s free will, and Lowry tries hard to portray the issues found in a world where everyone is the same; in which she indisputably succeeded.

Halloweentown is a fantasy land overflowing with ghosts, vampires, and witches. Jack is the leader of this town and is known as the “Pumpkin King”. Jack realizes he has grown tired of the same routine, and is faced with an identity crisis.

Horror, what is it, according to literary historian J.A. Cuddon, it is “a piece of fiction in prose of variable length…which shocks or even frightens the reader, or perhaps induces a feeling of repulsion or loathing.” This sets the guidelines for how the generic horror piece is written, as long as it can scare the reader in one sense or the other, or cause them to loath a certain part or character, then it can be called horror. The horror today has roots stemming from old folklore and religious traditions which had elements that dealt with death, the afterlife, and the demonic, along with the things or thing that embody a person. Horror during the 18th century was called gothic horror and this particular type of horror was invented in the

They appear to be cheesy and grainy, and, honestly, they’re a little silly. The movie also has one of the strangest endings in which Kal turns into a ball of light and ascends into the ceiling, only to poof away and never return again. However, where it falls short on special effects, graphics, and choppy villain resolve it makes up with strong family ties, character/costume design, and the wholesome thought of good triumphing evil. Throughout the movie, you witness strong family ties. They’re a family that never gives up on each other, and they’re always there for each other when needed. They genuinely care for each other; you can see the love in the family. Not only is there a strong love for their family, but there’s love for the neighbors. Aggie Cromwell is always kind to the people of Halloweentown and those in the mortal world. She’s always trying to make everyone feel good and genuinely kind to others. Along with the strong family ties, the character designs are phenomenal. They’re wacky and eye-catching and extremely colorful. The characters are so wild that you don’t know exactly where to stare, so when you watch the movie again, you notice new details in the character’s appearance. Therefore, more attention is brought to Halloween 2 because the gray spell is taking away the colorful appearance of the people of

Glee is a musical-comedy drama TV series that revolves around the glee club in William McKinley High School. The show follows the members of the glee club through their high school lives, such as academic, romantic relationship and friendships and bullying. Glee was perhaps one of the most racially-diverse shows. In glee club, there are 12 kids: seven white, two Asian Americans, two African-Americans and a Hispanic. Given the fact that one of the white kid is gay while the other one is on a wheelchair also makes the show socially diverse. Even though the show seems diverse, it nonetheless fails to resist the temptation to revolve around the white characters more. For example, the Hispanic girl named Santana has no line until episode 11. The two Asian Americans in glee club – Tina and Mike, similar to Santana, have barely no line as well. In the first episode Pilot, Tina only has two lines, which are “we’re d-d-doomed” and “I-I…”, extracted from below:

The Twilight Zone and Full House are both two family sitcom television series expressing one group as a family to meet or reflect society. Full House, produced by Jeff Franklin, is a family who faces many struggles and obstacles that reflect many American’s in today’s society. The Twilight Zone, produced by Rod Serling, is a five season television series taken place in the 1950’s. This shows provides multiple genres in each episode followed by an unexpected plot twist leaving audiences thinking more in depth about the present time. Both television shows demonstrates family values and social norms to meet modern societies expectations through rationality.

I decided to share about one of my favorite TV shows, The Office. I enjoy this show because there are so many different characters with unique personalities. Each character interacts with one another in their own personal ways. In this show, there is no character that is the same. Certain ones give a representation of how to communicate appropriately and others show an inappropriate way to communicate. The three characters that I have chosen to look closely at are, Michael, Dwight, and Jim. Michael is the boss of the paper company department, Dwight and Jim are sales representatives. Michael and Dwight are not very good at appropriately communicating with one another or with others in the office. Jim is one of the “normal” ones on the show.

The Uglies have similarities from both films Hunger Games and 13 Reasons Why. It creates the intention that people have to be pretty to have a good life. This can be related to Uglies as mentioned before, the two films tell us how the world can be opposite us. As Yvonne has mentioned, this novel is set in the future the but it can be much related to the present.

Talk about polar opposites; think TV series about a high school glee club vs. a horror anthology. So, what is the common thread, linking the lighthearted Glee with the dark, dastardly American Horror Story?

Sam Tsui actually auditioned for Glee back in 2010. If you haven’t watched his audition video, stop and do that now, because it’s amazing. Though Sam (sadly) didn’t get the role, he’s still doing incredible things on his own, and we’re all very proud of him.

Horror is a genre that can include many themes but the ones that are most commonly
