Creator's Notes

 * This is simply how I would have done American Horror Story: Hotel.
 * Many, including myself, felt that the season was the weakest compared to the others. My biggest issue was that the story and character arcs were a mess. I wanted to do something that doesn't have that problem.
 * The season focuses on themes of addiction, obsession, sanity, control, and freedom.
