American Story franchise Timeline

[JudgeDreddpool]

Consider this thread my attempt at doing a timeline for the American Story franchise, consisting of the following shows:

• American Horror Story (12 seasons, with more forthcoming)
• American Crime Story (3 seasons, with a fourth in development)
• American Horror Stories (3 seasons)
• American Sports Story (First season in development, but on hold due to the SAG-AFTRA strike)
• American Love Story (TBD, waiting on more news to be released first)

I plan to kick things off this October for Halloween, because hey, it feels fitting, right? In terms of timestamps, I'll be relying on the Disney+ release of the shows for help with that. Seasons will be watched in the order they are released, and then placed accordingly.

Disney+?? American horror story and it's spin-offs aren't on Disney+

Disney+?? American horror story and it's spin-offs aren't on Disney+

It is here in the UK.

 

[Jozaca]

They are also available here in Spain.

 

[Pro Bot]

Episode numbers are important. How about this?

2011
????
American Horror Story 1x01, "Murder House: Pilot"
American Horror Story 1x02, "Murder House: Home Invasion"

Alternatively, V2:
2011
????
American Horror Story: Murder House 1x01, "Pilot"
American Horror Story: Murder House 1x02, "Home Invasion"

Version 2 would have each season have the specific title of that season followed by the episode, so the second season would be American Horror Story: Asylum 2x01, "Welcome to Briarcliff" for example.

I think I prefer the second version.

I never watched it, is it any good?

I never watched it, is it any good?

I wouldn't know, as I'm legitimately going in blind with regards to the series.

 

[ItzStitch626]

Oh. Well I didn't know that AHS was on Disney+ in UK, Spain or Germany.

 

[Rman]

I've actually been in the middle of a rewatch of the show and have been keeping my own timeline. If you would like any input, just let me know.

Sounds good. If I have any difficulties, I'll let you know.

In any case, tomorrow I'll be giving the first episode of Murder House a watch (I'll add notes on the timeline). Just curious, but how scary/gory does the show get (since I've been pretty desensitized to violence as a result of stuff like The Boys and Scream, and I'm also digging horror films like the Alien/Predator series and certain Slasher franchises)?

It depends on the season. A season like 1984 for example has more slasher movie-level gore. If you're desensitized from stuff like The Boys, you should be fine. I've personally never really found the show scary (a lot of the show has more of a campy vibe) but I also don't really find much media to be scary. Since this is your first time watching, I'm curious to hear what you think.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Added "Pilot" to the timeline. It's a bit rough, but I'll work out the placement of scenes when I learn more down the line.

I'll go ahead and say you can get a little more specific. The pregnancy at the end of the episode is said to be 8 weeks along in the Halloween episode. So I have the family moving into the house in August and it's early September by the time Vivian gets pregnant.

Gotcha. I'll add those dates in due time.
