American Horror Story 1.05 - Halloween part 2

So what'd do last night.. oh ya know the usual.. you?
They weren't joking when they said in the prior episode that the dead are free to roam around on Halloween. The ghosts of the Murder House had their mini vacation and need to get back to doing what they do best... scaring the shit out of the people who live in this house and us folks at home watching.


This weeks episode leaves off just as the last one (part 1) left off.  We see ol 2 face knocking at the door asking for his money but instead of 2 dollars this time its 1000 bucks.  Apparently $1000 will do lots for this gentleman.  Violet is alone in the house because her no good parents left her there so she can attend to the door for trick-or-treaters.  righht... So as Larry is knocking and screaming things that shouldnt be said on cable TV her phone rings.  Its Tate ... Here he comes to save the day (singing in Mighty Mouse voice).... He wants to go on a date or something and just like that she leaves the house.  No note.  No phone call to the parents.  No nothing.  The Harmons come home to their house alarm blazing and not a soul in the house.. of course i was joking.  There are like 1000s of souls in this house.  The door knocks and you would guess it is Mr security man but no instead it is Hayden.  Apparently she got the memo that she is allowed to come out and play also on Halloween.  Viv calls Violet and instead of yelling at her for just leaving the house she asks if she is having fun with her friends trying to win Mom-of-the-year. A little too late for that. Violet has gone dead boy and is not going back.



AHS may be the WORST security ever.. and since when can home security men have guns?? 

The crew is back and with a vengeance!!

While Vivian and Ben are fighting about his infidelities and terrible husband traits, Violet is on a date from the movie Twilight with her dead boyfriend about to round second when... boooooo... looks like Tate is in need of some blue pills.  I guess only vampires are the only dead things that still get erections.  This causes Violet to flee as is should for anybody. As she is about to leave, the Breakfast Club alumni decide to show for a reunion.  Apparently, Tate did some very bad things to these people about 17-18 years ago.  All i can say is i am glad the jock aka Emilio Estevez was shot in the head.  His jock character always annoyed me.  Looks like Tate got some splaining to do!



Meanwhile back at the house Hayden is loose causing a ruckus.  She is unknowingly haunting Viv by marking up her mirrors and throwing dead dog pranks on her. Shame on you.  I like how the dog is back in the house. I guess the dog is also allowed out on Halloween.  While this is going on, Ben is yelling at Larry in the backyard at the top of his lungs. I guess nobody hears him.  I can only assume that another horrible side effect of being pregnant is that your hearing goes?  I thought it was the opposite. But anyways.. Ben is beating the shit out of 2 face and threatens to kill him if he shows up on his property again.  And just like that us viewers can assume we will never see Larry again.
Ghost dog??  Where is he when we need him??

Flashforward, as Viv is trying to find Hayden, Ben decides to check out the basement with his trusty kitchen knife.  Again, at this point there should be a concrete wall over this basement door.  Of course Hayden is just chillaxing in the basement. She was probably talking to the ghost kid monster about where he gets his tail hair done until Ben rudely interrupted   Hayden immediately tries to seduce him as she vomits what looks like her spleen into her hand.  Now the old Ben would have soooo kissed her right then and taken her on the floor.  Apparently the new Ben is not having this shit anymore and is a 1 woman pony.  He screams at her and threatens to kill her when Larry somehow got into the house, snuck up behind Ben and hits him in the back of the head with a shovel.

I don't know who is crazier.. NJ housewife Theresa or Hayden

While Ben is out cold, Hayden finds Viv and tells her that the man she is married to is not the man she thinks he is. I think at this point this is clear for the millions of people watching this show but Viv apparently doesn't know this. Must be the hormones.  Viv tells Hayden she is pregnant and freaks out.  Hayden goes to slash her when Mr Security guy comes to save the day and arrests the criminal ghost.  Of course Mr Security is about 15 minutes late but perhaps there was traffic.  On the way to the station, Mr Security and Hayden have a talk and just as he is ready to get her out of the car she is gone.

Tate needs to learn the ways of the force of the vampire. 
Rewind.... About the same time all this shit was going on at the Murder House, Violet comes home with Tate.  And again as all this shit is going down apparently Violet is also hard of hearing. Maybe the house does something to the hearing of those who live there.  She is obviously in the house when shit is happening. Anyways, the breakfast club alumnis followed Tate and Violet back to the house.  Violet is a trooper and goes outside to have a talk with them.  The alumni tell Violet about the awful things that happen to them.. ok no they don't but they should have. They just sorta hint stuff and of course Violet thinks this is all a Halloween   prank.. girls.  Tate comes out and decides that the only way to get them to not hurt Violet is too run and have them chase him. He runs... and they chase him.  Great plan.  But again  he is not a vampire and cannot run faster than the wind so they catch up to him.  The alumni explain to Tate how they have been looking for him for years and want questions to why he did what he did.  Tate doesnt remember.  Then they threaten to harm him blah blah blah and they are like oh shit the sun is coming up.. we have to go. And just like that they are gone.

Meanwhile, Constance asks Violet to come over and of course she does. Her boyfriend is being chased by the living dead and she is just ok with that i guess.  They have a discussion about the death of Addie and then Constance tells Violet that Tate is her son.  This is the first time this is confirmed.  Violet has no idea. I guess she just assumed that Tate lived somewhere nearby or maybe in the bushes or something cause he is just always there.  Who knows..

The show ends with the sun coming up.  The ghosts of the house are all walking down the block together. They are extremely tired after this one day of partying.. who's to blame!  They are discussing their day as they all make their way back into the house.  Something will not let them move on.. but what?

The episode ends with Ben packing up his shit and moving out.  About time.. but seriously.. why wouldnt the whole family do this at this point?  I did like the ending.. he didnt say a word.. just walked out.. nicely done.


Ben and his 19 other kids with 19 other mommies

A few things.. 

The introduction of the dead teenagers was interesting.  Tate went on a murder spree some time back.  Nobody i guess ever knew the reason why he did this.  Did he kill himself afterwards?  Emilio or one of the dead teenagers say something about him hiding up in his mommy's safe house.  What does this mean?  Does his house have some significance to the story line also? Im assuming based on some of the things he said.. Kurt Cobain.  Pulp Fiction.  That his murder spree was around 1994.  Also more evident to this is his grunge style clothing.

Chad and his partner are still bickering when they return to the house.  The cheating partner says he will always do this or something along those lines.  Are they the same person at the time of their deaths that they live out forever?   Did that even make sense?  haha

Larry wants 1000 bucks for head shots. At this point i am thinknig 1000 bux for real shots to the head. This guy/ghost is wacky!

WTF was reaching for Violets foot from under the bed??  Perhaps Larry?  Somehow or another he got in.  Had time to get by her on the stairs.  Get in her bedroom before her.  And sneak under the bed?  Perhaps

Its more and more evident that Luke aka Mr Security will be a love interest to Viv.  It will be interesting to see if a black man can beat the horror movie cliches!  Unfortunately i think he will fall victim to the rubber man.  Things in that house are supposed to happen in some kind of order.  Which is why rubber man shows his face when the gay couple had their hissy fit about the TERRIBLE halloween costumes the Harmons had on. If the order is broken then rubber man comes out to play!

Nora, the crackpot doctor's wife from the 20s, pays Ben a visit when he is knocked out in the basement. She unties him and whispers in his ear "save the baby". Sounds like an homage to Heroes except there are no cheerleaders in this show. But based on the same premise, perhaps saving the baby is the only way to survive and break the curse of the house. I mean its no surprise that the baby is going to be something other than human!

Thats it till next week!
