Larry's face is severely scarred. Ben, a psychiatrist, sees patients out of his home; one of them, a possibly psychotic boy named Tate, who becomes friends with Violet. Vivien rehires the house's former housekeeper, an elderly Moira, who appears to Ben as a young, seductive maid. Ben and Vivien eventually have sex, once after a fight, and later while she thinks he has dressed up in a bondage suit. She later tells Ben she's pregnant.

After spotting blood, Vivien is told by her doctor that the baby is fine. Ben passes out, and the doctor informs him that he found traces of an opiate that causes memory loss. Ben confronts Moira, who has been trying to seduce him, about poisoning his coffee with the opiate. Hayden shows up again, frantic that Ben has ignored her.

Tate says it is the still-living abomination created when Dr. Montgomery, driven insane, tried to bring his dismembered child back to life by sewing the pieces together with various animal parts. Vivien confronts Ben about phone calls from Hayden, who swears that Hayden is gone. The baby begins kicking, an impossibility at 8 weeks. At the hospital, an ultrasound reveals that the baby is more developed than it should be; the ultrasound technician collapses after seeing the baby onscreen.

The teens find Tate and Violet, but Tate protects Violet by making them chase him. Constance takes Violet to her house, revealing that Addie is dead and Tate is her son. The teens are revealed to be ghosts from various cliques at Westfield High who were killed when Tate committed a school shooting in 1994. The ghosts angrily demand to know why he killed them and that he admit what he did, but Tate cannot remember anything about them. Two of the ghosts, one being a football player and the other a cheerleader, asked why he 'targeted jocks' which is probably a reference to the Columbine Massacre. With Halloween night ending, the teens depart. The other ghosts including Moira, Chad, Patrick, and Nora warily return to the house. Ben packs and sadly leaves the house.

After Violet confirms online that Tate was shot in his bedroom by a SWAT team after his massacre at Westfield High, Constance introduces her to a medium, Billie Dean and she and Constance explain that Tate is unaware he is dead. Constance has been sending him to Ben, hoping a breakthrough will help him pass on and they need Violet's help, though Violet is shaken by the revelation. Ben needs to use the house for his therapy sessions to make them money, and Vivien agrees out of necessity. Ben sees a new patient, Derek, who is terrified by urban legends, most recently the legend of 'Piggy Man', who will slaughter anyone who repeats a specific mantra in the mirror. Ben begins noticing that Vivien has developed an attraction to the security officer. Vivien contacts the ultrasound technician, who fainted during the ultrasound and has since quit her job, claiming she saw that the baby was the Antichrist. Taking Ben's advice to face his fear, Derek repeats the mantra in his bathroom mirror, but is ironically shot and killed by an armed robber.

He shows her old photographs he found of the house and the Montgomerys. Vivien learns she is pregnant with twins. Resolved to be upfront with prospective buyers about the house's past, she learns of the Montgomerys and that Charles revived their son into a monster, causing Nora to go insane and kill him and herself.

8	8	'Rubber Man'	Miguel Arteta	Ryan Murphy	November 23, 2011	1ATS07	2.81^[8]
Tate is revealed to be the Rubber Man, attempting to provide the distraught Nora with a baby. The outfit is a fetish suit Chad bought in hopes of reigniting his and Patrick's failing relationship. Tate donned the suit and killed Patrick and Chad after they decided not to have a baby, hoping that a new family would move in and have a child, which Nora could then have. In the present, Hayden conspires with Nora to drive Vivien insane so that they can have her twins. Vivien and Violet are confronted by the ghostly house intruders from Episode 2; Ben believes that Vivien is mentally unstable because the police found no evidence of the intruders' presence and Violet lied about what she saw. He prohibits Vivien from leaving, believing that she is trying to take Violet and the twins away from him. Vivien steals Marcy's handgun for protection. Hayden convinces Tate, as the Rubber Man, to attack Vivien, revealing that Tate fathered one of Vivien's twins. During the attack, Vivien accidentally shoots Ben, who is convinced that she is a danger to herself and to others. Vivien's reaction to another poltergeist results in the police taking her away. The full scene of Chad and Patrick's murder is shown; it is revealed that after Tate immobilized them, Moira gave Tate the couple's gun, which Tate used to make the scene look like a murder/suicide.

The ghost of Charles Montgomery dismembers her corpse. In the present, Elizabeth's ghost appears to Ben, seeking his psychiatric help. Ben receives a call from Vivien's OB/GYN telling him that Vivien's twins have separate fathers – him and someone else. He accuses Vivien of hypocritically cheating on him. Hayden tells him that she saw Vivien and Luke, the security guard, growing closer. Ben confronts Luke about the possible paternity and learns that Luke is sterile. Constance and Travis get into a domestic dispute; Travis has sex with Hayden in the Harmon house. Hayden kills him, and Larry, who 'owes her a favor', takes Travis' body and dumps it out in public in the Black Dahlia tradition. Ben finds the Rubber Man's mask and realizes the possibility that Vivien had been raped. Constance is told by Moira that Tate is the other father. She asks Billie Dean what would happen if a ghost sires a living child. The medium tells her of the Pope's knowledge of such an event as the beginning of the Apocalypse by the Antichrist.
10	10	'Smoldering Children'	Michael Lehmann	James Wong	December 7, 2011	1ATS09	2.54^[10]
It is revealed that Tate caused Larry's scars by setting him on fire on the morning of the school shooting. Constance is told by police of Travis' murder, and her behavior causes them to suspect her as his killer. Ben learns that Violet has not been seen in school in over two weeks and notices a blowfly infestation in the house. Ben calls an exterminator to deal with the infestation, which results in Tate killing the exterminator while he investigates the crawl space beneath the house. Ben and Violet argue about her school attendance which ultimately ends in her reluctant agreement to return on the condition that she changes schools. Ben checks out boarding schools for Violet, and upon hearing this, Tate takes measures to keep her around, ending in showing Violet her own corpse in the house's crawl space. Violet had actually died from her suicide attempt in episode 6, despite Tate's attempts to save her. In an act of penance for his own crimes, Larry confesses to the murder of Travis after meeting the ghosts of his wife and two daughters for the first time. Ben learns that Tate is the Rubber Man and the other one who got Vivien pregnant.

Violet tries to explain to her father that she is dead. Constance brings Vivien into the house and goes to get 'help' to assist in the delivery – the ghosts of Dr. Charles Montgomery and the 1968 nurses. As Vivien goes into labor, Chad tells Violet that Tate was the one who sired one of the twins. Vivien has great difficulty giving birth to the babies, losing one to stillbirth while the other causes her to bleed internally. Violet appears to comfort her mother and asks her to 'come be with her'. Vivien dies and Violet confronts Tate, telling him she loves him but can never forgive him. Tate begs for forgiveness. She screams for him to go away and he does. Vivien appears and comforts her daughter in the afterlife.
12	12	'Afterbirth'	Bradley Buecker	Jessica Sharzer	December 21, 2011	1ATS11	3.22^[12]
Ben, feeling alone, plans to commit suicide, but the ghosts of Violet and Vivien encourage him to take the living twin and get out of the house. During his attempt, he is killed by Hayden and the home-invader ghosts, hanged from the chandelier; Constance takes the living twin. Moira and the other 'innocent' ghosts help the Harmon ghosts prevent the deaths of further tenants by scaring away the first family that wants to move in, the Ramoses. Tate, feeling alienated, tries to kill the Ramos son, so Violet won't be alone. She prevents this by distracting Tate. Nora, who wants a child since hers was murdered and turned evil, relinquishes motherhood of the dead Harmon twin to Vivien, who asks Moira to be its godmother. The Harmons and Moira decorate the house for Christmas, while Tate tells Hayden he will wait 'forever' for Violet. Three years later, Constance comes home and sees a trail of blood on the floor, leading to the bedroom of the living Harmon twin, now about three years old and looking much like Tate. He has murdered his nanny and is sitting in a rocking chair, smiling up at Constance.

Production[edit]

Conception[edit]

What you saw in the finale was the end of the Harmon house. The second season of the show will be a brand-new home or building to haunt. Just like this year every season of this show will have a beginning, middle and end. [The second season] won't be in L.A. It will obviously be in America, but in a completely different locale.

American Horror Story Season 1 Episode 10

– Murphy on American Horror Story's second season.^[13]

Creators Murphy and Falchuk began working on American Horror Story before their Fox series Glee began production.^[14] Murphy wanted to do the opposite of what he had done previously and thus began his work on the series. He stated, 'I went from Nip/Tuck to Glee, so it made sense that I wanted to do something challenging and dark. And I always had loved, as Brad had, the horror genre. So it just was a natural for me.' Falchuk was intrigued by the idea of putting a different angle on the horror genre, stating that their main goal in creating the series was to scare viewers. 'You want people to be a little bit off balance afterwards,' he said.^[15]

The dark tone of the series is modeled after the ABC soap opera Dark Shadows, which Murphy's grandmother forced him to watch when he was younger to toughen him up.^[16] He also cited Rosemary's Baby, Don't Look Now, The Amityville Horror, and Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining as influences for the series.

From the beginning, Murphy and Falchuk planned that each season of the series would tell a different story.^[13] After the first-season finale aired, Murphy spoke of his plans to change the cast and location for the second season, while retaining some actors from the first,^[17] 'The people that are coming back will be playing completely different characters, creatures, monsters, etc. [The Harmons'] stories are done.'^[13]

In February 2011, FX officially announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, with both Murphy and Falchuk writing and Murphy directing. Dante Di Loreto was announced as executive producer. Production on the series began in April 2011.^[18] In July 2011, FX officially announced the project had been given a series order consisting of 13 episodes.^[19] In August 2011, it was announced that Tim Minear, Jennifer Salt, James Wong and Jessica Sharzer had joined the series as writers.^[20]

Future season[edit]

On October 30, 2016, Murphy announced that a future crossover season of the series would continue the Murder House and Coven stories, merging their characters and themes. He did not state which season it would be, but that he had already reached out to actors from both seasons to reprise their respective roles.^[21] Murphy later confirmed one of the Murder House characters will be moved in the season finale of Coven. However, on January 5, 2018, it was initially announced that the crossover season will be taking place in the ninth season, but on June 14, 2018, the crossover was moved to the eight season, titled Apocalypse.

Casting[edit]

Casting announcements began in March 2011, with Connie Britton first to be cast, portraying female lead Vivien Harmon.^[22] Britton stated that she took a risk in taking the role of Vivien. When Murphy presented the role to her, he said, 'This is something we've never seen you do before. It will be turning what you've just been doing on its ear.' She was intrigued by what he had presented her and ultimately decided to take the part.^[23] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series co-creator Ryan Murphy stated that he had told Connie Britton, early on, that her character Vivien would die in the first season. 'We've really had the whole season mapped out from the beginning,' he said. 'In the meetings with the core actors, the three leads being Connie, Dylan [McDermott] and Jessica [Lange], as we tried to snare them we were able to say this is where you start, this is the middle, and this is where you end up. So, yes, I was able to tell Connie really the whole run of the series.'^[24]

Denis O'Hare joined the cast in late March 2011 as Larry Harvey.^[25]Jessica Lange joined the cast in April 2011 as Constance, marking her first regular role on television.^[26] Lange was attracted to the role because it didn't require a 22-episode commitment like a series on a broadcast network. 'That was huge for me!' she said. 'I wasn't about to commit to, you know, six months. It was cable, rather than network... I've been offered network [shows] before, and determined not to do it, just because I can't make that kind of time commitment.'^[27]

Dylan McDermott was cast as the lead Ben Harmon in late April 2011. His character was initially described as 'a handsome and masculine but sensitive therapist who loves his family but has hurt his wife.'^[28] McDermott stated that he wanted to do the role to break away from his previous role as Bobby Donnell in the ABC series The Practice. 'This was exactly why I wanted to do this show – to change it up and do a different kind of character. People think of me as the guy from The Practice... I wanted to turn that [notion] on its head and hopefully I'm doing that [with this show]', he said.^[29]

In May 2011, Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters were the last lead actors to be cast, portraying Violet Harmon and Tate Langdon, respectively.^[30] Farmiga said that she loved Violet 'immediately' and that 'she had spunk to her, she had attitude.'^[31] Murphy has described Tate as the 'true monster' of the series, adding, 'To Evan's great credit and the credit of the writers, I think Evan's done an amazingly difficult job making a monster sympathetic.'^[32]

Filming[edit]

Murphy was looking for a house that could be appropriately creepy but also attractive.^[33]

The pilot episode was shot on location in a house in Country Club Park, Los Angeles, California, which serves as the haunted house and crime scene in the series. Designed and built in 1902 by Alfred Rosenheim, the president of the American Institute of Architects' Los Angeles chapter, the Tudor or Collegiate Gothic-style single family home was previously used as a convent.^[33]^[34] An adjoining chapel was removed from exterior shots using CGI.^[35]

The series is filmed on sets that are an exact replica of the house.^[36] Details such as Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows, and hammered bronze light fixtures, were re-created to preserve the look of the house.^[33] The house became available for rent on Airbnb for six months, beginning February 2016, before being unlisted.^[37]

Due to a 'very aggressive' production schedule and the series' pilot shoot having to wait for co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's other show, Glee, to wrap its second season production, it was announced that the show's first-season finale, the thirteenth episode, would be thirty minutes shorter than planned.^[38] Finally, the thirteenth episode was dropped and they made the twelfth episode 10 minutes longer (52 minutes). The finale aired on December 21, 2011.

Title sequence[edit]

The opening title sequence was created by Kyle Cooper and his company Prologue. He also created the title sequence for the AMC series The Walking Dead and the 1995 film Se7en. The theme music was composed by sound designer Cesar Davila-Irizarry and musician Charlie Clouser.^[39] The sequence is set in the Harmons' basement and includes images of postmortem young children, unborn (or aborted) babies in jars, skulls, a Christening dress, a nurse's uniform, and a figure holding a pair of bloody hedge clippers. Murphy described the sequence as a mini-mystery and stated, 'By the time you see the ninth episode of this season, every image in that title sequence will be explained'.^[40]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

American Horror Story: Murder House received generally positive reviews with some considering it to be the best season of the series. The first episode scored 62 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 30 reviews.^[41] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 73% approval rating with an average rating of 6.59/10 based on 39 reviews. The website's consensus reads, 'Convoluted yet effective, American Horror Story is strange, gory, and twisted enough to keep viewers hooked.'^[42]Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly awarded the pilot episode a B+, stating, 'AHS is pretty much all scare, all the time: a whole lotta screams, sex, jolts, mashed faces, psychotic behavior, and dead babies.'^[43] Chuck Barney of the San Jose Mercury News said, 'Most TV shows, after all, quickly fade from memory. This one will haunt your dreams.'^[44]Hank Stuever from The Washington Post said in his review, 'Overdoing things is one of Murphy's trademark flaws, but this show has a captivating style and giddy gross-outs.'^[45]The New York Times' Mike Hale called the show 'a more classically minded chiller,' taking into mind the success of HBO's True Blood and AMC's The Walking Dead.^[46] However, not all reviews were favorable. Alan Sepinwall of HitFix gave the series a D−, saying, 'It is so far over the top that the top is a microscopic speck in its rearview mirror.'^[47]
