After months of speculation, the American Horror Story spin-off American Horror Stories — about which we all knew virtually nothing — premiered on FX on Hulu with the first of its various spooky tales.
Here, at the season 1 setting for the main American Horror Story series, we meet Scarlett .
And also it was stressful not being able to talk about it ’cause I was so afraid I would accidentally let something majorly important slip, but now that’s not a problem anymore.
I know that there were a few mega fans who would camp out across the street from Murder House just to get pictures, which I thought was very dedicated because we work some long hours and they were there the whole time.
But when I was in high school and I had a lot more time, I was a huge, huge fan of the show.
I went right into preproduction fittings — and getting fitted for that suit a couple of different times.
I mean, it’s a pretty iconic and striking, if you will, look.
I start every project by looking at the script and being like, ‘Oh my God! How the hell am I going to do this? I can’t pull this off.” And then I get there and I work with all the wonderful, amazing people, and then suddenly it clicks.
That’s my criteria for deciding to do anything is like, if it’s a challenge, if it’s something I’ve never done before, if it’s going to push me in some way.
She was there for many scenes that we had to discuss, but she really put me at ease and made me feel just so much better about the nature of the scenes in general.
When I first read the script and started thinking about her as a character, I tried to think beyond the confines of Murder House and this universe to focus more on Scarlett’s grounded qualities and what she’s going through and the very real, very relatable things that she was experiencing in her life.
I think the very limited anthology, like the episode by episode, formula is really cool for people like me who currently don’t feel like they can commit to watching an entire season, but they still love the universe and the atmosphere and the vibe that American Horror Story creates.
I would leave it up to the fans that definitely know much more about it than I do to figure out what the rest of them are.
