Review of Devil's Night

The Halloween episodes of AHS are always the best, and this is no exception. From the incoherent plots in the pilot, this episode has enough back story to move on. Yet, it continues to yield surprises. Bentley carries the episode along with Peters. Though the ghosts all look like flesh and blood beings, there is a creepy vibe; a trait only AHS can manage to accomplish. After this episode, we are left wanting for more. Unfortunately, Lady Gaga is the weakest part. She only has the looks but not the acting chops. Lily Rabe as Aileen was awesome, and she even looked like Charlize Theron's version of the character. John Carrol Lynch as the murderous clown was a welcome return, since he also played a killer clown in the past season. The weakest killer was the Zodiac. I guess because the identity of the killer is still not known, they decided to keep him clothed as a medieval knight with a zodiac sign. In short, you can say this is a cross over of real life killers and fictional characters. Thanks to great direction and execution, AHS Hotel now has a more confident footing. I can't wait for more.
