![]() Furter-a “sweet transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania”-who takes them in for the night. But, when their car breaks down by the side of the road, their only refuge is with Frank N. The recently engaged Brad and Janet are on a road trip to meet up with their old science teacher. The movie is most famous for its highly interactive showings in which audience members dress up like the characters, and participation is an essential part of the true viewing experience. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” epitomizes the cult classic. Honorable mention to AHS: “Apocalypse” which brings back both “Coven” and “Murder House” in a season about an Antichrist named Michael. The season features a school for witches filled with evil characters competing for the title of Supreme (the most powerful witch) and Stevie Nicks plays herself for some reason. AHS was created by Ryan Murphy, the man who brought us “Glee” and who brought me my last year’s Halloween costume (Sue Sylvester, hero to haters everywhere), so naturally “Coven” is over-the-top as well. “Coven” is by far the least scary season of AHS and, because the seasons are unrelated, it doesn’t matter where you start watching. “American Horror Story” (AHS) is an anthology series with the same core actors playing new roles in different stories each season. If you like campy, queer horror comedy (not necessarily all at once, but sometimes all at once), then this list is for you. With that, I present to you my Top Four, Top-Tier Halloween Classics. I usually stick to TV criticisms, but a special holiday deserves a special column. It’s the great equalizer, the one night a year where it’s considered socially acceptable to dress as sluttily or as terrifyingly as your little heart desires. The beauty of Halloween is that it is not beautiful, perfect or put together, but rather haphazard, creepy and gory. What I’ve recently realized that I love about Halloween is that it feels antithetical to the standards to which we are held in our everyday lives. There is simply nothing like watching horror movies that will haunt me for days on end, carving some of the ugliest jack-o’-lanterns out there, and putting more effort into crafting a costume than I put into most of my school assignments. It’s finally Halloween aka spooky season aka objectively the best holiday (okay that’s just my opinion but also, I’m right).
