American Horror Story: Freak Show secured a frequent Ryan Murphy collaborator for one promising subplot, but this story proceeded to go nowhere.
While American Horror Story: Freak Show was far from the worst season of the anthology horror series, messy plotting did result in a terrible ending for one potentially great subplot. Despite receiving much acclaim, American Horror Story has a tendency to set up a lot of intriguing stories at the beginning, only to drop many of these as the series moves onto other promising plot lines.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY One of the most frustrating cases of this is American Horror Story: Freak Show’s wasted supporting stars. While this anthology outing ostensibly focused on the eponymous freak show and the sympathetic outcasts who comprised its cast, American Horror Story: Freak Show ended up following an array of plot threads that never amounted to all that much.
The fact that Chester went so far as to turn himself in, albeit for the so-called murder of his doll, rather than the murder he actually committed, shows just how much American Horror Story: Freak Show had no idea how to wrap up his gory story. While the anthology horror show has forgotten antagonists before and since, Neil Patrick Harris’s star power and the creepy potential Chester had as a character made this subplot's outcome particularly disappointing.
Maggie’s Freak Show Death Wasted An Obvious Setup In American Horror Story: Freak Show, the freaks take care of their own, and while Maggie was originally a morally ambiguous figure, she had started to warm to Jimmy by the time she was killed off. However, the freaks did not take revenge on Chester, and instead simply let him leave after he murdered her.
Instead, American Horror Story: Freak Show's Chester plot was dropped once its purpose became clear. Chester's presence could have at least triggered a retribution angle, but not even that transpired. Like 1984 having an unnecessary role for Richard Ramirez, this American Horror Story: Freak Show plot thread proved that less is sometimes more.
