American Horror Story

I am sure that most of you have seen this show. However, for those of you who haven't, here is a short run down of what it is.

There are four seasons so far. Season one: Murder House. Season two: Asylum. Season three: Coven. Lastly, Season four: Freak Show.

Within each season there is a completely different plot, different characters, setting, time period, everything like that. It is basically a whole new show, but the characters are all played by the same actors throughout all four seasons. In my opinion this is a great idea. This allows for endless options. Instead of running a show for around 10 seasons, then running out of ideas, and ending it, this show could go on and on for as long as they would like. Constantly creating a new premise for each season, and reinventing themselves over and over again.

The cons of this is that for the first few episodes of a new season, I was still stuck on the character that the actor played in the previous season. So when their role completely switched, it threw me off for a little while.

This show has gained an enormous fan base, and has come a long way. I remember watching this when the first season came out and being amazed with how unique and complex it was. It shocked me that not more people watched it. But as the seasons continued more and more people joined the following. By now, the third season, I have noticed that many more people have decided to try the show out, and ended up loving it.

Each season offers an entirely new scenario. Into family drama and a tormented house? Crazy people locked up in an asylum, or a murder? Witches and voodoo? Or freaks? As a whole, American Horror Story offers all of these things.

If you have not watched this show yet, I highly recommend that you try it out. Even if you're only into one of the subjects that I listed above, watch that one specific season. It's another pro of the show, since the seasons are not connected, you don't have to watch them all in order to understand what is going on. Any horror fan could find some sort of interest in this show, because it is in fact a full package. Check it out!

Horror Tattoos

Ever want to express your love for horror? Well a clear way to achieve this is by permanently getting it  inked into your skin. You can use your body as a canvas, and wear your personality on your sleeves. Get your favorite horror movie characters done on your body, or even a more abstract idea. No matter the case, the possibilities are endless as long as you can think it up.

I personally plan on getting numerous horror tattoos. Tattoos, simply put are things that you are supposed to love so much, that you want it put onto your sin for the rest of your life. For me that is horror.

There are many different things that you could get done. The list varies from characters, movies, fears and many more.

30 Days of Night

Silence of The Lambs

Monsters/Characters:

All horror fans have a few favorite monsters or characters. Depending on their favorite types of movies, it could be the slasher villains, or the classic Universal Monsters, all the way to the brand new horror figures present on our movie screens.  Here are some examples on the sides... but for even more click here.


General horror:
While the previous images were from specific movies, you could also go with a more general design, while still basing it from horror. The classic zombie, or a scary pinup is always a good way to go, or a generic vampire or creature. Here are some basic and general horror tattoos...






Tattoos are a life long decision so no matter the subject matter, always make sure that it is something that you will always want on your body. Try making the image the wallpaper on your phone, hanging it on your fridge, or putting it up in your room for a few months, if you still love it, then go for it.

Next time you plan on getting a tattoo, give horror a look. There are many different themes, or characters that could be achieved through ink.
