AHS looks to older seasons for inspiration
Loved Murder House and Coven Characters come back

I n the beginning of American
Horror Story Apocalypse, the
world is at its end, and Ryan Murphy
has a story to tell. Murphy, the pro-
ducer, is keeping his fans on their toes
and leaves them wanting more every
Wednesday night. This new season is
heavily manipulated by two previous
seasons: Murder House (season one)
and Coven (season three).
Murder House showcased a family
moving into a home that was preoccu-
pied by the ghosts of people who, by
an unfortunate event, have died.  Here
is where it all began. Tate Langdon, a
ghost who resided in the house, had
impregnated a living woman, Vivien,
who was also the mother of his living
girlfriend.
Coven was where the witches
were. Here, the stage was set for how
the world of witches works – most
importantly how a witch becomes the

romance between Tate

There’s no rain delay on fashion
By Jenna Cosentino
Staff Writer
W e are finally deep in fall weath-
er, which has resulted in rain
almost every day of the week. Rainy
weather results in wanting to look lazy
with sweatpants or leggings, not wanting
to leave your bed all day.
There are many options when it
comes to rainy day outfits. Bright colored
rain jackets and rain boots have become
more popular. Different brands also have
different styles of waterproof footwear
– not just your average rain boot, which
gives you so many options for different
outfits if you need to be dressy or casual.
If you are looking to splurge on a
nice rain jacket that will last you years
to come, brands like Patagonia, The
North Face and L. L. Bean have a bunch
of different styles that you can choose
from. As college students, you have to
walk to class regardless of the weather
conditions, so splurging on a nice rain
jacket will benefit you in the long run.
The campus bookstore also has a couple
rain jacket options if you want to repre-
sent St. Bonaventure.
Waterproof footwear is also some-
thing that every college student needs.

said Reid.
Every year, the astronomy club
goes to Cherry Springs in Coudersport,
Pennsylvania. It’s designated as the
darkest spot east of the Mississippi,
meaning it’s the area with the least
light pollution. This is important be-

son one, Murder House, and season three, Coven, return, including beloved
characters Tate, played by Evan Peters, and Cordelia, played by Sarah Paulson.
Supreme, which is the most powerful
female witch of the new generation.
When a new Supreme is rising, the
powers of the current Supreme start to
fade away and eventually die.
Apocalypse, the current season,
features an apocalyptic world, as the
title would suggest. Certain people are
chosen by their DNA and brought to
a sanctuary where they live off a ra-
tioned food substance. This sanctuary
is called Outpost 3, and there are strict
rules that everyone has to follow.

RAINY FASHION - During the rainy fall season, brands like The North
Face and L.L. Bean offer jackets, which can keep you warm for years
to come. Across campus, the Hunter brand rain boots, shown in both
pictures above, are also common. However, both jackets and boots can
be stylish and more affordable.
high schools are given an engineering
task that they must then create from
scratch. Last year, they had to build
a car with cardboard, batteries and
weights. The goal was to see which car
would go the straightest and furthest.
The older kids have an extra challenge
that is revealed at the start of the com-
petition.
Another annual event the astron-
omy club hosts is Astro-Bash. At the
in the observatory where all the tele-
scopes are out, and they provide food.
Last year, approximately 200 students
and faculty were there. The event relies
heavily on club members volunteering
to help set up and take down. Students
also volunteer to chalk sidewalks on
campus with advertising.  
“As leaders of the club, we enjoy
hosting these events,” Reid said. “We
want students to be involved and en-
joy it, but also hopefully develop an
interest in astronomy or the sciences
in general.”
Aside from annual events, the
club tries to have as many observation
nights and movie nights as possible.
Observation nights consist of going
to the observatory and looking at the
different celestial bodies in the sky
throughout the year, since the stars
are always moving.
Additionally, the club will hold
movie nights either in Swan or the
University Club above the Hickey Din-
ing Hall. “Interstellar” and “Arma-
geddon” are some movies previously

watched. Club members are hoping to
watch “ET” in the future, said Reid.  
The club aims to have meetings
once a month where they communicate
about upcoming events like the Astro-
Bash and Cherry Springs trip.
A typical meeting includes talks
about t-shirt designs, potential club
movie nights and upcoming observation
nights. Meetings don’t normally last
longer than an hour.
“We try not to be strict,” said Reid.
“We want to be laid back, but still help
foster an interest in space.”

Murder House. Paulson is once again
portrayed as Cordelia, the Supreme
from Coven, and the other familiar
witches are also brought back.
Michael, the antagonist of this sea-
son, is Vivian and Tate’s son. He was
raised by his grandmother, Constance,
played by Jessica Lange.
As Michael grows up, he commits
a series of acts that throws Constance
over the edge to the point of suicide.
Michael, from this point on, is raised
by Satanists, who are aware of who he
is and what he will bring to the world.
He is portrayed as the Anti-Christ and
is the foundation of the Apocalypse.
After a few episodes of anticipation,
Murphy ditches the set of characters
seeking safe haven in the sanctuary and
brings in the witches. The witches walk
in once everyone has died and resur-
rect their fallen companions. This leads
to where Murphy left off in the second
most recent episode, which featured se-
ries of flashbacks of Michael’s character
development. Here it is discovered that
there is a coven of male witches, known
as warlocks.
In this coven of men, morals are
set backwards. They fight and kill
to have Michael as the first male Su-
preme, since this is something that
had been unheard of.
Some other important characters,
including men from this coven, help the
witches fight to prevent Michael from be-
coming the Supreme. The only solution:
death. This preluded a standstill as we
awated the new episode on Wednesday.

class with your feet sopping wet and
having to sit there for an hour. There are
so many options when it comes to wa-
terproof shoes. The Hunter brand is the
most known around college campuses
for its rain boots. They are comfortable,
reliable and come in many colors and
styles. Again, Hunter boots are some-
thing to splurge on, but they are well
worth it.
If you aren’t looking to spend a
lot of money on a rain jacket and rain
boots, there are many other brands that
will still do the job. Check out stores like
Columbia and Marmot. If you are look-
ing for trendy raincoats, Asos and Urban
Outfitters have many different options.
Styling rain gear is all about layers
and fun colors. The typical bright yel-
low jackets are always fun to wear; try
pairing it with a baseball hat so your
hair doesn’t get wet and a pair of black
waterproof chelsea-style boots. Or if you
like to wear bright colors on your feet,
opt for a pair of tall rain boots and keep
your jacket neutral in color.
Don’t let the rainy blues get to you.
Throw on your fun colored jacket and
boots and go dance in the rain.
