“American Horror Story” Announces A Cross-Over Season

At last, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. For the past five years, fans have been speculating over if, and when, each seemingly unrelated “American Horror Story” season would become connected somehow. We no longer have to wonder, because the creator of “American Horror Story” Ryan Murphy finally announced that a future season of the hit show will be a crossover of two of the previous seasons.

During Entertainment Weekly’s Popfest panel on Oct. 30, Murphy officially divulged the confidential information to an excited crowd, saying, “It’s not going to be next season, but we are going to do a season that’s a crossover between ‘Murder House’ and ‘Coven’ together, which is very bizarre.”

“AHS: Murder House” was the first season that aired on FX back in 2011 and features the Harmon family as they relocate from Boston to a Los Angeles home with a dark history, and “AHS: Coven” focuses on contemporary witches in New Orleans as the show’s third season. With actors like Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Evan Peters and Taissa Farmiga appearing in both seasons, Murphy says that planning around their different characters in each setting is an obstacle to overcome and might take some time, hence why the crossover season is beginning to be planned far in advance.

Nevertheless, Murphy announced his attempts to gather the troops up during the panel, saying, “I’ve [already] started going to actors from both of the seasons, quietly, saying, ‘I think in this window, if you could fit us in’… So yeah, it’s fun. It’s weird.” It is clear that Murphy is pulling all of the strings to ensure that the future crossover season is the most iconic one yet.

Of course, there have been rumors of crossovers in the past. The start of “AHS: Roanoake” this past September hooked fans as they wondered if this was the season that a crossover would finally be addressed. On October 31, Murphy heard the fans’ speculations and announced on Twitter that Sarah Paulson’s season 2 character, Lana Winters, will be seen on one of Roanoke’s future episodes.

Crossovers have also occurred in the past, with several minor characters make appearances in multiple seasons. Remember Pepper, who appeared both in “AHS: Asylum” and “AHS: Freak Show”? Or what about Sister Mary Eunice, who showed up in the same two seasons? Even Queenie, originally on “AHS: Coven,” made an appearance on “AHS: Hotel.”

As seen in previous seasons, Murphy is not unfamiliar with the occasional crossover; however, an entire season dedicated to converging the realities of two separate seasons is unprecedented. While some may be skeptical of the success that will come from it, there should be nothing to fear. After Murphy has redefined and revamped “American Horror Show” with its current season, we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
