Twisty The Clown Backstory American Horror Story Freak Show

‘AHS: Freak Show’: Twisty’s Tragic Backstory Doesn’t Redeem Him

In the Halloween episode of ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show,’ we learned that even murderous clowns have their tragic backstories. However, the show went way too far in redeeming Twisty The Clown while Jessica Lange’s Elsa got the shaft! SPOILERS for ‘Edward Mordrake Part 2’ below!
Every superhero has their origin story, and so, too, do parent-killing clowns. In “Edward Mordrake Part 2,” we saw a glimpse of Twisty The Clown’s backstory and his “reasons” for his transition from a carnival clown into a violent murderer. If nothing else, American Horror Story: Freak Show proves that Freaks: They’re Just Like Us. Everyone has their story, sure, but I think that the show went way too far in redeeming Twisty while simultaneously vilifying Elsa. SPOILERS for the Halloween episode below!

Jessica Lange, 65, might not be a Glee fan. After Jessica posed near Lea Michele, 28, at the American Horror Story: Freak Show premiere, the legendary actress walked RIGHT in front of Lea and completely ignored her in front of all the cameras. Awkward! Watch the video below.

American Horror Story: Coven

‘American Horror Story: Coven’ Recap: Fiona Claims Her First Victim

Fiona’s history came back to bite her — again — and a tense confrontation quickly turned fatal.
It was ‘out with the old, in with the new’ on the Oct. 23 episode of American Horror Story: Coven, as Fiona (Jessica Lange) determined Madison (Emma Roberts) to be the next Supreme. Too bad the coronation had to be cut short, because when Ryan Murphy said someone was going to die on episode three, he wasn’t messing around.
