Thanks for bringing the list. I added it to the OP. I forgot how many guest stars the show had.

[Melissa Ann]

There were a lot. I just watched the first season in like three days so I guess they were more prominent in my mind!

Zachary Quinto at a special screening of AHS:

[Melissa Ann]

I love his look there!

I'm so used to seeing him in a tux at red carpet events!

[dangit]

I'm not crazy about the beanie, makes his head look a bit like an egg, apart from that, he's always an handsome man

[ring of fire]

I agree. I think he would have looked better without the beanie.

[Melissa Ann]

^^ Maybe he needed a haircut. So he covered it up instead...

Maria (Rosa Salazar) was a student nurse murdered in the house in 1968. She was tied up and stabbed in the back repeatedly by murderer R. Franklin.

I was wondering where I saw her before and then realized that Rosa played Zoe, the young woman who was going to give her baby up to Julia and Joel, in Parenthood. She's so stunning!

Maria's death was one that really stuck with me. Really brutal but at the same time I found it sexy in this disturbing way.

I think that death and that entire flashback was incredible creepy and scary. That was probably the most disturbing flashback for me.

Yup. Same here. But it still felt very "horror" for me. The school shooting was more shocking and that one bothered me. It kind of affected the rest of the season for me because it felt so realistic. At one point it felt like the kills lost that edge because it was what you expected. Actual overkill.

Anyway, getting back on topic...I loved seeing Frances Conroy as older Moria. I loved her as Ruth in Six Feet Under.

I agree. At some point the deaths became incredible predictable. I think the season finale was an actual overkill. Everybody died.

The school shooting was a great scene because it felt so realistic. There was no music, just a bunch of scared kids and a disturbed shooter.

[that's a bingo]

I'm the same way about the season finale...it was just too much for me. I mean, you knew it was inevitable, but it was just complete overkill.

I wish Ben could have escaped with the baby and maybe come back to the house in the future.

[Stay to the Lights]

I know. It was bittersweet, but I guess made sense for him to end up with his family... even if it meant being dead.

[ring of fire]

Still I didn't like it. I think it was an overkill that everybody died.
