Extra extra, read all about it! Oh YEAH baby! “Unholy Night” was sick and twisted and depraved and evil and I loved every (too-short) fucking second! Not to mention, they managed to work in probably my favorite Christmas song ever, Darlene Love‘s version of “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).” Now, the news we’ve been waiting WEEKS for… THE OFFICIAL RETURN OF PEPPER! (I saw it in the headline and just about sprained my fingers re-blogging it to you.

I know Pepper is an audience favorite. And it’s the question I get asked the most: “Where’s fuckin’ Pepper?” So [next week] Pepper returns! –Ryan Murphy (see Ew.com interview link for more).

YEAH, baby! Read on, and I promise you fellow rabid American Horror Story fans, more coming soon – including my usual “Ten ~~Fucked-Up~~ Things We Learned From American Horror Story Asylum” for Episode 8, “Unholy Night”.

Were we the only ones who were pretty sure that fancy– but sharp and pointy – Christmas decoration was going in someone’s neck or eye by the end of the episode? Got kind of tense when someone handed that ornament to Ian McShane… whose Santa psycho character will return next week! Oh, there’s all kinds of surprises in this juicy interview! Maybe Sr. Jude just stabbed him with a candy cane? We’re not complaining, mind you, just really surprised.

Now that we know the “Holiday Greetings From Briarcliff” card below was taken in 1963, right before something really terrible (and awesome) happened. The orderly with the Santa hat on the far right is about to be minus a face, for one thing… ho ho HOAH!
