I know I shouldn't be excited for this season, but I kind of am.
but i like it. plus, as much as i hated the family, the ghosts and constance were super fun.
"oh! someone's at the door!"
*scary violin music*
"I wonder who that could be!"
*louder scary violin music*
i like the whole anthology aspect of the series but they could have done so much more with the S1 storyline
i want to rant to someone about how fucked up the movie Calvaire was
*crosses fingers for Taissa's cameo announcement*
One who would have random creepy little giggles and stuff. She would have been perfect.
(and how much do I love you for using the term Batshit!Crazy!? I use it ALL the time. *grins*)
He's not gonna have to go back to last season or have any continuity issues.
I have hope!
And fuck yes I loved her.
