'American Horror Story' Promo #11: It'll Have You In Stitches (Not the Good Kind)
by Andy NeuenschwanderBet you never thought you would be scared of a sewing machine, did you?
That's the beauty of "American Horror Story," though: it takes visuals and objects that you wouldn't normally think twice about, and turns them into the stuff of nightmares. Seriously, how many other shows can turn sewing into a horror convention in less than 10 seconds? And these are just the teasers!
This latest teaser, the 11th in the series of promos, Takes us to a brighter, less claustrophobic part of the asylum from what we've seen thus far. But that doesn't mean it's any less creepy: the shot centers on a sewing machine, running all by itself, then cuts to some very violent, loud close ups of the needle doing its repetitive stabbing.
Yep, it's a menacing sewing needle. You saw it here first.
Notice, though, how the first shot of the promo distorts a bit. You might not even notice it at first, but it's sure to throw you off even subliminally and make you uneasy before the big "boo!" hits.
