AHS: The True Story Behind Coven's Marie Laveau
American Horror Story takes legends and myths to build its stories, but it has also taken inspiration from real-life people, and American Horror Story: Coven introduced Marie Laveau, a real-life voodoo Queen – and here's her story. The horror genre has been going through a great run in recent years, not only on the big screen but also on TV, and from the latter, one of the most successful titles is American Horror Story. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story has been sharing a variety of stories for a decade, often mixing fiction with real-life events and characters.
Although each season of American Horror Story serves as a self-contained miniseries, there have been references to other seasons’ events and characters that have led to the creation of a connected AHS universe, which reached its peak in season 8, Apocalypse, which brought together various characters from different seasons. Over the course of 10 seasons (and counting), AHS has explored horror myths, legends, creatures, and settings such as haunted hotels (Hotel), circuses (Freak Show), and haunted houses (Murder House), and for its third season, it paid a visit to the witches descended from Salem in American Horror Story: Coven.
