Already marked by violence, sex, and anti-Catholicism, it
was going to take real creativity for “American Horror Story” to achieve shock
value this season. What would fit the bill? A witch who kills via vagina, of
course.
Taissa Farmiga described her new character, Zoe, in Sept. 20’s Entertainment Weekly, saying, “She’s kind of this sweet girl – except she kills people with her vagina.”
“Shy” Zoe attends Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies (aka witch school) after she realizes her gift during a rendezvous with her boyfriend. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s third season of “American Horror Story: Coven [1],” premieres October 9 on FX.
The storyline is an ironic one for Murphy, a gay activist [2]. Murphy also made headlines in the past as an Obama supporter [3], a would-be pornographer [4] and mastermind behind shows such as “Glee.”
The abhorrent “American Horror Story” has given free range to Murphy’s twisted preoccupations, however, with stories of [2] monsignors strangling patients with rosaries, nuns raping priests, “Santas” threatening to “jam this gigantic crucifix” up nuns’ rear ends, dual masturbation to cure homosexuality [3], and infants’ heads stored in basements [5].
So the real American horror story? This show garnered 17 Emmy nominations [6].
