Watch American Horror Stories Season 3: Synopsis
We can’t think of a better way to usher in Halloween than with this four-episode streaming event. That’s right, girls and ghouls: you can watch American Horror Stories Season 3 online exclusively on Hulu as Ryan Murphy’s horror anthology series returns, delivering more spine-chilling tales packed with gore, nail-biting suspense, and jaw-dropping twists.
The spawn of Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s ground-breaking American Horror Story series, Stories debuted in 2021 as an anthological extension of AHS: liberating the franchise from season-long story arcs and gifting viewers a delightfully demented new narrative each week. Yet it remains firmly rooted in the AHS universe, as gleefully perverse and unpredictable.
Season 1 extended the mythology of Murder House by having the latest tenant become Rubber Man’s psychopathic protégé, while Season 2’s “Dollmaker” provided an origin story for Spalding, Coven’s mute butler.
However, Stories is largely a Pandora’s box of Grand Guignol horrors: escaped madmen posing as shopping mall Santas, cursed movies, cannibals, and the ghosts of murdered lovers returning from the grave. It’s a whole heap of crazy, served with a generous lashing of sex and gruesome death.
Series stalwarts Cameron Cowperthwaite and Seth Gabel are returning, alongside newcomers Lisa Rinna (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), and A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow, who it’s teased will appear in an as-yet unknown role. Reality TV star Rinna will feature in episode three, “Tapeworm”: about a model so desperate for success in the cut-throat world of fashion that she becomes host to an all-consuming parasite.
Brace yourself for these four terrifying new tales, as we explain below how to watch American Horror Stories Season 3 online and for FREE now.

How to watch American Horror Stories online from anywhere
US citizen on vacation? Or perhaps you’re working overseas and still want to stream American Horror Stories Season 3 on a streaming service as if you were back home. Unfortunately, in some markets you’ll be stopped from doing so due to geo-blocking.
But with a VPN you can change your IP address and make your computer, smartphone, tablet or other streaming device think its right back in the US.
That means US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription no matter where you are in the world, just as if you were in the comfort of your own home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – as we say, ExpressVPN is the total package when it comes to great streaming VPNs
2. Connect to a server – most good VPNs make it super simple to connect to a server in the US or whatever country you require
3. Stream away! – login to your chosen streaming service and stream like you were in your home country
