Not sure though.
Because Twilight had a PG audience, they essentially made the vampires out of stone. So, when they are killed, they basically just crumble like a statue does. There is no blood. You don't get the same sense that you do when a flesh and blood person is murdered.

I am kind of immune to violence when it is removed. I can watch people being shot all day long. I just don't care. But that Batman with Heath Ledger? I watched it with my hands over my eyes, because his Joker was always wielding that knife and I was afraid that at any moment I would see him put it to someone's mouth and slash their lips corner to corner. That terrified me. You know a movie or television show with sex and violence is a lot different than a movie or television show with TORTURE.

But Game of Thrones is no walk in the park, so if Stevie likes that, I can see her not being too horrified by AHS.
