Recently watched the first season of American Horror Story on DVD. Cracking stuff - I loved the house. Can anyone explain something to me, though, please: the house was constantly referred to as "LA Victorian". Given that it was supposed to have been built in the twenties, it's obviously not a term that means the same as "Victorian" in the UK (the Victorian period having expired with the monarch over here). I assume it's like "Gothic Revival" - an architectural style? Great show. Very well written, and I enjoyed that they resisted the modern trend of over-exposition. The use of costume to create an instant sense of period with regards to each ghost / story strand was beautifully executed.
