Cast Of American Horror Stories Episode 1 2021

Welcome Back to Horror... With a Twist!

Remember being glued to the screen for *American Horror Story*? Well, get ready for its bite-sized cousin, *American Horror Stories*! We're diving into the very first episode of the 2021 season, and boy, are we in for a treat.

The "Rubber (wo)Man" Returns!

The first two episodes of this spin-off, tell a creepy story. This season revisits the infamous Murder House. Get ready for the next generation of terror to be unleashed.

Leading the charge into the abyss is Sierra McCormick. She plays Scarlett, a teenager with a, shall we say, *unique* fascination with the dark side. Think less sunshine and rainbows, more rubber suits and unsettling curiosities.

Joining Sierra is Kaia Gerber as Ruby. Ruby is a ghostly resident of the Murder House. And let's just say she and Scarlett develop a very *close* relationship. Prepare for some serious teenage angst... with a supernatural twist.

Familiar Faces, Fresh Scares

Speaking of familiar faces, who else do we have stalking the halls of the Murder House? It's none other than Matt Bomer! Yes, the *White Collar* heartthrob is back, this time playing Michael.

Michael is one of Scarlett's fathers. Bomer brings a blend of charm and underlying unease to the role. You'll be wondering if you should trust him or run screaming in the opposite direction. Such is the magic of *American Horror Story*!

Adding another layer of complexity to the family dynamic is Gavin Creel as Troy. Troy is Scarlett's other father, and he brings a different energy to the household. He’s protective, but maybe a little clueless about what his daughter is really up to.

New Blood, Same Terror

But the scares don't stop there! Ashley Martin Carter joins the cast as Rowena. Rowena is part of Scarlett’s friend group, and she gets caught up in the Murder House's web of intrigue. Let’s just say hanging out with Scarlett isn’t always good for your health.

Rounding out the younger crew is Paris Jackson as Maya. You might recognize her! The daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson brings her own star power to the screen. She definitely holds her own against the Murder House’s dark energy.

Keep your eye on Selena Sloan as Erin. Erin is another unsuspecting soul who crosses paths with Scarlett and the Murder House. Prepare to see her world turned upside down – in the most terrifying way possible.

Why You Should Watch (or Rewatch!)

So, why revisit this episode? Beyond the thrills and chills, there's a surprisingly relatable story about identity and belonging. Scarlett's journey is all about finding her place in the world. It just so happens that her place is a haunted house filled with ghosts and rubber suits.

The performances are stellar, and the twists and turns will keep you guessing until the very end. It’s a perfect blend of classic *American Horror Story* themes with a fresh, modern perspective.

Whether you're a die-hard *AHS* fan or a newcomer looking for a good scare, this episode is a must-see. Just remember to watch with the lights on... you've been warned!
