The members of Elsa’s Cabinet of Curiosities aren’t scared of much, but as we learned on American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 3, Halloween strikes fear in the heart of the freaks.
Thanks, Edward Mordrake.
When you watch American Horror Story online, you’ll have the opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the legend of Edward Mordrake, a prodigy with a dark side.
Literally. The back side of his head is evil.
I promise the freakiest moment in the entire episode was when, in the flashback, Edward stood up from the piano and gave a bow but in doing so revealed the vile visage to the audience. Can you imagine how ghastly that would be after having just listened to such a beautiful melody?
A tiny, well done moment goes a long way toward fleshing out a character, don’t you think?
Elsa’s singing brought the spirit of Edward Mordrake into their camp, and now one of their own will have to die, bringing the body count to 2. Who will be left standing at the end of this season?
Just Jimmy? Elsa, alone on the stage with no one to cater to her whims and ego?
Will they all go down in a blaze of glory?
We know Ethel is dying, of cirrhosis, and she’s putting her feet into the grave faster by going back to the bottle. While it’s not a move I would be likely to make, I can’t fault the woman for wanting to be in control of her own life after spending all of it at the beck and call of others.
Dandy Mott continues to be the biggest freak of the series. He’s like a baby Dexter, only he’s looking for Twisty the Clown to be his mentor. The code will be a much different one for him, that’s for sure.
