Pretty good Halloween episode.

Spoiler:
Poor Alex Breckenridge, she played another character who got killed.

That was just an insanely fun time. Excellent Halloween episode. I loved it.

I wanted to scream at the end though. How you going to end it like that? It's going to be a long week.

Yup, it will be a long week. I kind of wish they would have two hour Halloween episode.

This show just gets better and better. I wasn't a fan of the first season, mostly liked the second (thought they tried to cram in too many story lines), but just love this season.

Alexandra Breckenridge got fat

Other than that it was an excellent episode.

Looks like Madison may get the Chloe Sevingy role this season. But instead of being a hacked up mutant, she'll just sit around dead. Can't wait to see the zombie pay off next week. And holy acid in the face! Great ep!

Loved Frances Conroy in an orange fright wig!

I didn't even recognize Dennis O'Hare until this episode.

Zombies!

And acid to the face...

Yes, this season is picking up. I enjoyed it very much. Still not on par with seasons 1 and 2 IMO. It's tough to beat the setting of last season though, in terms of heaviness.

Saved this episode for last night and thought it was pretty good. As mentioned already, the acid in the face and zombie ending was great. This season is shaping up quite well.

I was wondering if anyone else was going to mention it. If you watch how they cut that scene, it was somewhat obvious they were trying to hide her weight gain. The face never lies...

Who is Alexandra Breckenridge? When they first showed her I got really... excited. Was hoping she would be a regular character but then she took a bullet to the head.

She was the "hot maid" of S01...

That's right! I miss her already, weight gain or no.

I did post about her not being hot anymore in her previous show here. She was a little better here but still very disappointing compared to her season 1 role.

I'm glad Fiona Exposition was around to explain how old harvest festival traditions became today's trick-or-treating.

haha, still, another great episodes. Yay zombies! And it's not a zombie apocalypse, just a squad of undead to do their re-animator's bidding. They're still juggling the many plotlines fairly efficiently, and not in an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach like Asylum. I think they have enough now, and will continue to develop and explore them over the next nine episodes and build to a natural conglomeration of them all. In other words, DO NOT ADD ALIENS.
