What's better than the most intense and suspenseful horror show on TV? A Halloween episode of the most intense and suspenseful horror show on TV! That's why American Horror Story (10pm on FX) is my must-watch for tonight.
Tonight is part 1 of 2 Halloween episodes this week (part 2 airs Sunday). That's double the confusing blackouts, double the messed up young/old maid action, and double the number of potential ghosts slash dead-but-appear-to-be-alive characters that could pop up in and around Murder House.
More reasons to watch?
-It's Dylan McDermott's birthday! The big 5-0, if you can believe it. Think he'll walk around in his birthday suit? Again? Fingers crossed!
-Zachary Quinto aka Sylar aka Spock is going to be on, and you know he'll be bringing the creepy. Plus, he told us to watch via Twitter (@zacharyquinto), and this is one dude we do not want to disobey.
-More past owners of the house will make appearances. I wonder if there will also be big chunks of their skull missing?
Get more scoop about this episode from our girl Kristin. Want a little tease? Let's just say a shovel deathblow to the head can't keep a pregnant mistress down!

Her week in review (w/o 10/16)
Happy Sunday, TV watchers! Hope you enjoyed this week's shows as much as I did. Here's the rundown:
Best self pep talk: The next time you need to build your confidence, try this one on for size: "Let's dialate. Let's do it, ya know what I mean?" Ok, so maybe it won't work in all situations. But it did for an about-to-pop Reagan on Up All Night. And I found myself rewinding the scene. It was that inspiring. Or hilarious.
Best quote: Thanks to Brad on Happy Endings for this little gem. "That waitress looks like she wants a piece of your downstairs goatee!" Oh, how I love me some Damon Wayans Jr.
Biggest witch news: No, it's not that Bonnie on The Vampire Diaries now has to compete with dead vampire Anna for Jeremy's affections. The Secret Circle has some even more crazy drama going down. Jake, brother of recently killed witch Nick, has returned to town. He has a rocky past with Adam, used to date Fey and broke her heart, and now appears to possibly be interested in Cassie, who, according to what's written in the stars, is supposed to be with Adam, even though he's dating Diana. Diana just learned of this, and tired of watching Adam make googley eyes over Cassie all the time, tells him to figure out his feelings and breaks up with him. But, back to Jake. Since he's of the same bloodline as Nick, he now completes the circle again. But does he know he's a witch, yes he does. But, his real reason for returning to town? To kill all the witches! Now that is one messed up dude witch.
Biggest loss: Now, I don't watch sports on a regular basis. So the only thing I could be talking about is Team Meatball! You know, Snooki and Deena. These ladies sure had a rough night on the Jersey Shore Reunion. Snooki saw clips of some of her roommates saying they might believe the Situation was telling the truth about them hooking up, something she adamantly denies. She even called her non-meatball BFF JWoww. a bitch. Damn, Snook. That girl followed Gionni all over Italy until her feet bled for you. And Deena - did you see that hair? Girl was about a week and a half early for Halloween, looking all like Elvira. Meatball problems!
Favorite moment: Beckett, trying her hardest to push aside her feelings for Castle (for some reason unknown to me), can't help but be jealous when another woman shows some interest in him. She tells her therapist, "He's supposed to be my partner, on my team. Not - smitten." See, you know you love him, detective. Even the aforementioned woman caught on. She told Castle she doesn't take things that belong to someone else. Fingers crossed this is the start of Kate letting her real feelings come through.
And finally, what?!? There really isn't a better way to reference the craziness that went down on American Horror Story this week. We learned that back in the day, creepy neighbor Jessica Lange shot her husband as well as the young version of the maid, IN THE EYE, when she saw them on the bed together. That same maid's body is buried in the backyard, although she continues to roam around, seemingly alive, as a housekeeper men see as her younger hot self and women see as an old lady with a wonky eye. Another man who used to live there kept unborn fetuses in jars in the basement. Current "murder house" owner Ben thinks he may have killed one of his patients, but can't remember because hot young maid might be drugging him. Lucky(?) for him, turns out the patient just slit her wrists attempting suicide in front of him, but he didn't do it. Unlucky for him, the young student he cheated on his wife with back in Boston shows up saying she's going to have his baby, not get an abortion like they discussed. But then as they exit the house, another creepy previous owner of the house (who has burns all over his body because he tried to burn it down with him and his family in it - they didn't make it) clocks the young woman in the head with a shovel, killing her instantly. Then he offers to bury the body but tells Ben he sure could use some money. So...that's the long version, best summed up as, what?!?

His Wednesday must-watch (10/19)
What am I watching tonight? Obviously Revenge, but that's been a must-watch for 2 weeks running so maybe it's time for it to take a break. You all know I'm watching it anyway.
So what else is on? Well, there's Happy Endings, which I did not watch out of the gate in the Spring, but have caught a little of this year. I think it's pretty funny, but it honestly hasn't made it to automatic "record" status quite yet. Maybe I'll check that out.
There's also game one of the World Series (that's baseball for those of you that don't like sports). Too bad this year the final 2 teams (St. Louis and Texas) provide us with what promises to be a complete snooze-fest of a series. So that's out.
Ooh! An E! True Hollywood Story about Casey Anthony. Umm...pass.
So I guess tonight I will turn my must-watch attention to a show that has so far come highly recommended from her, American Horror Story (10/9c, FX). Now I haven't watched the pilot, so I'll be going back to do some catching up, but from all accounts so far this show brings some disturbing things to Wednesday nights. I don't know how I feel about Connie Britton playing a role other than Tammy Taylor, but we'll see.

Her Wednesday must-watch (10/5)
Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights. Denis O'Hare from True Blood. Jessica freakin Lange from too many things to mention. Dylan McDermott from The Practice, and my dreams. These are just some of the amazing cast members that star in my Wednesday must-watch: American Horror Story (10/9c on FX).
It's not often a show like this comes along - I think. I don't know a heck of a lot about this show, except that a family moves from Boston to Los Angeles to get away from their past, just to find themselves in a new situation that doesn't exactly seem awesome. At least that's the vibe I get from the suspense-filled promos filled with quick cutaways that remind me of a horror movie trailer. Regardless, American Horror Story has me intrigued. Want a sneak peek? You can watch the first 5 minutes of the show here.
I'm excited. I'm scared. I'll probably watch with the light on and a phone nearby in case I need to call for help. And I'll definitely be saving Happy Endings or Modern Family to watch afterwards to make sure I'm in a laughing mood rather than a panic attack mood before bed. Here's hoping Cam's bike shorts make a cameo.
