Spooky Season TV Preview: ‘American Horror Stories’ Season Two, ‘What We do in The Shadows’ and More

It’s August, so it’s basically Halloween, right?

As spooky season approaches for us Halloween-freaks, a lineup of Halloween-adjacent shows have already begun to drop on FX and Hulu, including the latest seasons of American Horror Story short-form spin-off, American Horror Stories, as well as Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s What We do in The Shadows. Here’s my review of the new seasons of each, and why I’m optimistic for future fall TV series (like my all-time favorite book now turned AMC series, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire.)

‘What We do in The Shadows’ Season Four

Among my favorite shows on television is the vampire mockumentary What We do in The Shadows, a spin-off of a film by the same name.

As the series enters its fourth season it’s just as funny as ever, and even more daring and “out there” (and absurd) than seasons before. This makes this season the most great fun yet, and I truly can’t get enough of this show. With some on-the-nose pop culture references (and some clear fan service for Guillermo X Nandor shippers), this season is 5/5 stars in my book.

‘American Horror Stories’ Season Two

This one had me feeling more apprehensive, I must say, but so far episode one rocked my world. With episode one being a bit fan-service conscious, it never divulges too much of whose origin story this anthology episode centers around until the very end, keeping you on the edge of your seat all the while. Dennis O’Hare never disappoints, so it’s worth watching. I enjoyed it, and I hope this means a more impactful, well thought-out season to come.

‘Interview with the Vampire’ and More to Come

As more fall TV approaches, I’m clearly the most geeked about my favorite of all time book series (Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles) being turned into a television series by AMC. These books have meant the world to me for years, as I’ve read all 13 of them, and I’m on the edge of my seat to see how AMC’s interpretation measures up. Interview With the Vampire the TV series premieres October 2nd on AMC and AMC Plus, and I know I’ll be tuning in.

So, what series are you most excited for this fall? Let’s discuss,

Xoxo, MM.
