American Horror Stories Episode 3 Review: 'The only horror here is the writing'

American Horror Stories is an anthological spin-off of American Horror Story streaming on Hulu that lacks any of the panache or quality of its originator.

The two-part debut of American Horror Stories was pretty horrible, but it’s episode three that genuinely cements the series’ place as one of the wors

However, now that the game is delayed into next year, I’m starting to think that Capcom mus
