Ryan Murphy’s Killer Fashion Shoot
By Ryan Murphy
January 05, 2012

Creature From the Black Lagoon Starring Lea Michele

“That movie was very primal and creepy—it’s about something coming from the earth. It really freaked me out as a kid. For me, it precedes Jaws…‘Don’t go into the water,’” says Murphy.

“I love Lea in this role; she gets that sexual thing and that ’50s style of acting, in which everything was pushed and heightened and melodramatic.”

He adds: “I wonder if anyone could remake it and make it scary. I doubt it, since it’s about an amphibious flipper man. That’s two things that you don’t want to put together: swamp and sex.”

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman Starring Dianna Agron

“I always thought 'The 50 Foot Woman' was about sexual hibernation turned to awareness,” says Murphy. “And in most of the horror movies I like, a female character wins.”

Murphy calls the film “sexy and glamorous. But no matter how you cut it—weird.”

Suspiria Starring Naya Rivera

“When we were planning the show, I watched a lot of Italian horror, because it’s not afraid to be sexual,” says Murphy.

“I love the trippy cinematography—‘Is it real? Is it fake? Are they dead? Are they alive?’”

The Birds Starring Jayma Mays

“The movie is all about artifice; it looks very back-dropped and stagey, but quite beautiful,” says Murphy, who based Jessica Lange’s bouffant in "American Horror Story", one befitting her character as a “manicure and put together” Golden Age castoff—on Tippi Hedren’s in The Birds.

Mays, who plays “virginal and sweet… very Tippi” on "Glee", gets into the spirit with Peter Pan–collared innocence and “artificial, Hitchcockian” brows.

Repulsion Starring Heather Morris

“This part, more than any other, is about sexual awakening, longing, and fear,” says Murphy, who wove “horror and sex around a season-long theme of infidelity” in "American Horror Story's" dark domestic melodrama.

On Morris as Catherine Deneuve: “It’s all about the hair, isn’t it?”
