| DVD

Explore sanity and real-life horrors in the macabre Briarcliff insane asylum. The second instalment of the award winning psychosexual horror series. Set in 1964, American Horror Story: Asylum takes viewers into a Church-run haven for the criminally insane, ruled with an iron fist by Sister Jude (Jessica Lange), a nun with a troubled past. This grisly tale begins in present day when Leo and Teresa, the unsuspecting newlyweds, choose to spend their honeymoon within the safe haven of a now abandoned asylum. Or is it... once inside, the pair is thrust into a gruesome fight... for their lives as the story flashes back to 1964. Originally a tuberculosis ward, Briarcliff Manor, western Massachusetts, was brought by the Catholic Church and transformed into a chilling insane asylum. Monsignor Timothy O'Hara (Joseph Fiennes) and the formidable Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) are in charge with the help of Sister Eunice (Lily Rabe). [show more]

All 13 episodes from the second season of the American horror anthology that follows the past and present events at a Massachusetts asylum for the criminally insane. At the Briarcliff Mental Institution, run by the Catholic church and its founder Monsignor Timothy Howard (Joseph Fiennes), journalist Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson) arrives to investigate claims of patient mistreatment. It's not long, however, before she finds herself confronting untold horrors as the evil that permeates the building, along with the deranged serial killer known as Bloody Face (Zachary Quinto), begin to make their presence felt. The episodes are: 'Welcome to Briarcliff', 'Tricks and Treats', 'Nor'easter', 'I Am Anne Frank: Part 1', 'I Am Anne Frank: Part 2', 'The Origins of Monstrosity', 'Dark Cousin', 'Unholy Night', 'The Coat Hanger', 'The Name Game', 'Spilt Milk', 'Continuum' and 'Madness Ends'.

The horror unfolds within the confines of an eerie insane asylum in the second series of this acclaimed thriller. Set in 1964 (with jumps to present day), the Asylum season digs into the dark pasts of the hospital's patients, doctors and administrators. Jessica Lange returns to the series as Sister Jude, a troubled nun who quickly finds herself at odds with the twisted Arthur Arden (James Cromwell), a doctor with a penchant for experimental procedures. Zachary Quinto is also back as Dr. Oliver Thredson, a psychiatrist, while Sarah Paulson plays journalist Lana Winters in her return. Other familiar faces include Evan Peters and Lily Rabe, while newcomers Lizzie Brochere, Chloe Sevigny and Joseph Fiennes provide welcome additions to the talented cast.
