According to IMDb.com American Horror Story is about "A family of three move from Boston to Los Angeles as a means of reconciling their past anguish," however, it's about so much more than that and I would rather claim it's really about the house they move in to.American Horror Story is about the weird, the quirky, the beautiful and the scary in our everyday lives but mixes it with the supernatural and extraordinary and it does so in a way that makes it horrifying but intriguing to watch.
My favorite thing about the show is the fact that it doesn't hide the fact that the supernatural is involved but rather pushes it in your face. Every scene and every minute breathes it.
I also love the whole cast, not even one of the cast falters but they all shine in their own way. Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott are wonderfully tragic, and Taissa Farmiga plays the daughter in subtle but quirky and sad way. The surrounding cast could've been caricatures of quirky characters, and in some ways they are but it works well.
So in the end, American Horror Story is scary and it's good. The pilot is a 10 and I hope the rest of the season continues on the same path.
