March 7, 2015 By Horror Palace Leave a Comment

Bates Motel: Season 3 will premier on A&E on March 9 at 9 pm, EST & PST. Filming for this season commenced in October of 2014 where ten episodes were filmed that are set to air for Season 3. You can catch up on episodes of Bates Motel: Season 2, in its entirety here: Aetv.com/bates-motel, for free. Further, while you are there, check out the sneak peek trailer for Bates Motel: Season 3, here: Aetv.com/bates-motel/video/sneak-peek-bates-motel-and-the-returned.

As fans of the show know, Norman has been slowly evolving into the older adult Norman Bates who is the focus of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho movie franchise though the show is set in contemporary America. The show serves as a prequel that delves into the mind of Norman Bates, a boy in his latter teens, and heart of the inappropriate relationship, which is very creepy and uncomfortable to watch, that he experiences with his overbearing mother, leading to the duality of his personality exhibited in the Psycho franchise, half perfect gentleman, half perfect psycho!

If you haven’t seen Bates Motel: Season 1, 2, or 3, I don’t want to spoil it for you any further and I definitely recommend watching Season 1 for free on Hulu, here: Hulu.com/bates-motel, and if you enjoy it, of course, follow it up with Season 2 on the A&E website as previously mentioned! If you have access to a Netflix account, you can also check out Bates Motel: Season 1 & 2 on Netflix.

Nicola Peltz (Bradley) confirmed her return to the cast along with Kenny Johnson (Caleb), at Comic-Con 2014 and obviously the main characters Norman (Freddie Highmore) and Norma aka “Mother” (Vera Farmiga), will return. The IMDB shows the returning cast so far without regard to guest stars who have not yet appeared on the database as, Max Thieriot (Dylan Massett), Nestor Carbonell (Sheriff Alex Romero), Olivia Cooke (Emma Decody), Christian Michael (Aaron), Natalie Moon (Aaron’s Mother), and Robert Mann (Dale).

The rest of the cast aside from those mentioned are a mystery until the show airs and the drama unfolds. We can only guess what creepy inappropriateness and murders ensue this season as Norman moves closer into evolving into a bonafide psycho! Norman is getting much closer to truly believing a boy’s best friend is his mother!

Lady Gaga Checking into “Hotel” on American Horror Story

March 1, 2015 By Horror Palace Leave a Comment

For all the American Horror Story fans out there, Season 5 will proceed this fall as expected and will be entitled, “Hotel”, but the most anticipated feature of the upcoming season is the presence of Lady Gaga among the cast. This will be Lady Gaga’s first major television role as an actress though she has starred in cameos such as in Men in Black 3, Machete Kills, The Sopranos, and Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For.

Further, she has previously done work alongside Ryan Murphy, who is one of the creators of the popular horror TV show surrounding the use of her songs on Glee in 2010 and appeared on some unscripted TV shows, including, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, and the XFactor.

You can check out Lady Gaga’s tweet on Twitter regarding American Horror Story’s Season 5, “Hotel” on her Twitter profile, where she shares a teaser trailer for the next season of AHS in October, 2015! Gaga is the first confirmed member of the popular FX show’s next season as the rest of the details have remained a secret.

We can only speculate about the appearance of top stars on the show, especially Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, and Sarah Paulson. I guess their involvement in the show remains to be seen. I know I can’t wait for the next incarnation of American Horror Story this fall and will patiently wait for the details to unfold.

We can also only speculate about the subject matter taking place in the hotel featured in the show’s next season and perhaps even how the parallels between the seasons may be further linked in the manner we’ve seen with Dr. Arden, who was a psychiatrist in AHS: Season 2, “Asylum” and in “Freakshow” as Elsa’s tormentor as well as in the case of Pepper, who was an inmate in AHS: Season 2, “Asylum”, as one of the freak’s in AHS: Season 4, “Freakshow”. Since we’ve seen at least two links between Season 2 and 4, maybe we can expect more links to be revealed in the next season.
