Trivia
Sarah Paulson's reporter walk-through scene in "Asylum" was pulled directly from actual footage of Bill Baldini's exposé piece on Pennhurst Asylum in Spring City, Pennsylvania. Baldini's work led to the closure of Pennhurst and the release of all of its patients. Pennhurst is now the location of a seasonal haunted house and has been featured on numerous shows, due to the reported extreme paranormal activity in Pennhurst's buildings.

Goofs
Frances Conroy ("Old" Moira O'Hara) is right-eye dominant. Many times you can see that she, as Moira, is focusing on the object she's looking at using her "blind" right eye instead of her left eye.

Quotes
Cordelia Foxx: In the absence of the council, as reigning Supreme of this coven, I hereby decree... for the murders of our sister witch, Cecily Pembroke and our college, Quentin Fleming... you... Myrtle Snow, are hereby sentenced to death by fire.
Myrtle Snow: Delia, my sweet daughter, I have never been more proud.
Cordelia Foxx: Any last words?
Myrtle Snow: Only one. BALENCIAGA!

Season 11 Doesn't Seem to Belong with AHS

This season of American Horror Story seems so far almost like a side project for Ryan Murphy to further study the time period related to Dahmer. Not an American Horror Story type story at all. I did not tune into this series for this. It might be a valid and decent story, but, it belongs elsewhere. Very disappointed. Not sure if will watch further because I really did want to see the American Horror Story series. Not a social commentary on the 80's AIDS epidemic and gay cultural struggles set upon the back drop of a serial killer who drugs and kills gay men. If it was under a different project and not by the same creator who just gave us Dahmer with Evan Peters (which is such a stellar show on its own) I would not be forced to compare this with Dahmer - & I might be more likely to have wanted watch this under the AHS umbrella I miss the old American Horror Story.
