american horror story coven blu rayTitle for the creepiest show on television has to go to American Horror Story. Each season they come up with new, stranger and more frightening ways to entertain us. This third season is set in New Orleans – a suitably creepy setting. On top of that it takes place at an all girls boarding school in which the student body is made up of witches. For good measure reanimated corpses and ghosts are also written into the mix. Switching it up a little writers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk put some humour into the works making things, if possible, more campy and yet still scary.
