American Horror Story finally stopped singe and give up an real story . give thanks good for Halloween , the one time of year this serial give up .
It is a Hollywood touch story that American Horror Story must deliver an excellent show on Halloween or else all the extensive set budget needed to create this serial publication will dry up everlastingly . And the cast shall be doom to act on the roll - off curing of the failed Americanized version of Coupling . There ’s clearly a hatful at stake , and mayhap the only reason why American Horror Story : Freak Show pulled up its pants and started doing a good business at being a revulsion show .
The two - parter , two - faced freak show was a vast improvement on the earlier episode from this time of year . Why ? Because it decided to focus in on the characters . And since Elsa demand to practise on Halloween ( a braggart freakshow no - no ) the feeling of the two faced Mordrake look and demanded a flashback backstory section from various freaks . Providing simple and easy entertainment and a welcome ministration from the weekly , skid - tusk singing .
Last hebdomad ’s Bearded Lady ’s backstory was heart breaking . And really , really horrifying . I think this is thanks to Kathy Bates ’ first-class symmetry , along with the horrific setting that beleaguer her story . That “ freak giving birth ” thing was horrifying . Yikes .
But this hebdomad we got to expend fourth dimension with the “ less ” known freaks and some of my favored people . Specifically Matt Fraser who is the best . The best . His story all hinge around , “ They require a monster , so I made myself a monster ” grandiloquence . This explain his tattoo , however he could n’t tatt his face because he ’s handsome . To which I say , yes . You are so , so , so , so , so very pretty Matt Fraser . So pretty .
Even though the secret to the Illustrated Man was my personal pet , it was not the “ main issue , ” as the carny insiders would say . Nope , the highlights this calendar week go to Twisty the Clown and Elsa . Both shared their distressing stories , and frankly stories were kind of like * shrugs * OK , that ’s awful , but OK .
work out Elsa used to make a life dominating and punishing various folk from Germany in between World War I and World War II ( when shit was really be intimate up sexually apparently ) . After some meter making human beings sit on toilets with nails on them ( playfulness ! ) , Elsa was finally used to make a “ sniff moving picture . ” And by “ snuff film , ” I mean some men drugged her , tied her to a bed , cut off her legs , and filmed it . So yeah , a sniff movie ? I do n’t know , the whole thing was just very unexpended . How did you mislay your legs ? Here ’s how . It does n’t really have anything to do with anything because I was n’t famous , I was n’t in Hollywood , I was brutally assaulted . The conclusion . It was … unearthly . Horrifying and terrible , but weird .
Then it was Twisty ’s turn . The murderous clown ’s yesteryear was tragic , that ’s reliable . But not being able to make an earning as a clown does not vindicate murder . grim . Yes , it ’s a shame what happened to Twisty , and it ’s revolting what pass to his mouth after a failed self-annihilation attempt . But this does not make us sympathize with this monster . He still jab someone over , and over , and over . So we hope freak show heaven is awful for Twisty .
And the departure of Twisty means that Dandy is going to take up his murderous mantle . Dandy begins his reign of little terror by killing his maiden .
And now Patti LaBelle is dead . Weird , right ? You hire this amazing songstress and have everyone else sing but her . I ’m not sure where I bear on that yet . Maybe it ’s too obvious to make Patti LaBelle talk ? Is Ryan Murphy and company playing with horror tropes and convention by redact her on screen and then whisking her away before her curtain call ? It does n’t necessarily signify she ’s expire everlastingly , but it could be . I like skewering the hearing in this manner , but then I ’m reminded that last time of year Stevie Nicks basically got a euphony video out of her appearing and it just makes me harumph . So I ’m still divide .
However , it now seems that by kill his maid , Dandy has rouse the bigger monster within . He ’s now able-bodied to murder people . So OK , that ’s a thing . I ’m not particularly scared of Dandy , but he ’s a great setup for a “ just advantage ” in a late guesswork . I am curious to see if Dandy has the excited self-control to murder his mother . Or is that get over the line for Momma ’s angelical boy ? Who lie with .
However , I do love the town comprehend the junky show , and the reaching of Denis O’Hare ( the good surviving virile worker on idiot box , no argument ) . Exciting things are happening !
