..yeah, I agree with this, I thought it was a great opening episode and set out the characters very well...Cathy Bates as Madame Delphine LaLaurie is just perfect..she plays 'evil' so well...and Jessica Lange..(...is her character Fiona..?..)..was totally flawless as always....I didn't realise that Cathy's character was based on a true story though...

Yeah it is, don't ask me why i was reading about it, I think it was because I was wondering if there were many women serial killers and I was doing some googling and remember reading about her. You can read about it here :

Oh this link is good too :

http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/n...illers2/1.html

Ew this bit :

Most of the victims had been severely maimed by medical experiments. Some were even strapped to tables. One man had been surgically transformed into a woman, and a woman looked like a human crab. Her arm and leg bones had been broken and reset into odd angles, and she was kept in a small cage. Another woman's arms had been amputated and her skin was peeled off in an odd sort of spiral pattern. Author Victor Klein, also a New Orleans native, indicates that scattered around the room were pails full of body parts, organs, and severed heads. Among those who had died were males whose faces had been grotesquely disfigured.

..wow, thanks for that..I imagine that cruelty an inhumane treatment was very common and everyday.. and probably practised by most or a lot of slave owners and sometimes incidents like the one described when the 'slave girl' was brushing her hair and hit a knot or something so she threw her out of the window and to her death because she gave her the small discomfort of pulling on her hair...I think the extreme of the torture and how much she enjoys it in AHS is (hopefully...) an extreme that never happened but maybe the truth is that similar things actually did....


..I've always been fascinated with 'voodoo' as well....

Spoiler:

..I presume that the half man/half beast head she put on him was covered with spikes/nails inside..?..because I started off thinking oh that's not too bad compared to what she had done to the others but then saw the blood all dripping down....

Marie Laveau was a real person too although I don't think she had anything to do with LaLaurie in real life.
