American Horror Story - S3 • E4 Ratings & Reviews
Tom & Lorenzo
Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez
It's the questions that keep us coming back, after all. No complaints here, even if this was the least exciting episode so far this season.
We Got This Covered
Christian Law
American Horror Story have consistently been among the best of the bunch. Even though there were a bit too many cliffhangers leaving me wanting more, American Horror Story: Coven matches previous seasons' level of crazy, perhaps even exceeding it.
Den of Geek
Nick Harley
It seems a full on war has started, and I can't wait to see what this bewitching show has in store.
HitFix
Liane Bonin Starr
Once you've made that commitment and squeeze your eyes shut to block out some of the leaps in logic... it's a really fun ride...Tonight's episode seemed like a step in the right direction, though, and I think that's largely because Zoe was hardly in it.
Rolling Stone
Halle Kiefer
There is a stark difference between a mother weeping over her lynched son and an undead Confederate soldier rising from the tomb and disemboweling a racist. One of those things is an artless callback to one of the darkest undercurrent in American history
New York Magazine/Vulture
Rakesh Satyal
The conceit of having a truly horrifying person be horrified in turn is a very compelling one, and Bates is one of the few actresses who could credibly convey Delphine's contrition for mistreating Queenie.

"Fearful Pranks Ensue" definitely kept up the insane momentum of the previous three episodes.
TV Equals
Mark Trammell
A pretty decent episode all around. Looking forward to seeing what kind of damage the zombies do, and whether or not Myrtle gets the burned-at-the-stake treatment.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
It suggests that the series has quite a bit more in store for Bassett, which partially assuages my fears that she'd be little more than window dressing for a four-to-five episode arc.
Screen Rant
Kevin Yeoman
As of 'Fearful Pranks Ensue,' the show is still on its way to equalizing Fiona's pursuit of youth and vitality, and the other threads that have so far been introduced.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Halloween episodes of American Horror Story have never failed to be - shall we say - eventful.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
American Horror Story takes that subtext and turns it into the lyrics to a Lady Gaga song. And I mean that as a huge compliment.
AV Club
Emily VanDerWerff
The show certainly knows how to write a scene where two great actresses sink their metaphorical teeth into each other, and this episode is mostly just that.
Wall Street Journal
Cicely K. Dyson
The flashbacks on this show can be hit or miss, but they've been extremely useful as far as story development.
