American Horror Story Season 1, Episode 4: Halloween Pt. 1

Past: Yes giiiiirl!!! Zachary Quinto better be serving me femme gay realness. We finally get to learn about the owners of the house right before the Harmon family. Chad and Patrick are a couple who are decorating for Halloween. There is trouble in paradise and Chad confronts Patrick about his cheating before Patrick leaves. Later, Gimp Suit approaches Chad, who thinks it's Patrick and tries apologizing, and gets killed while Patrick enters the room.

Ben: He gets harassed by Larry, who wants $1,000 since he helped kill Hayden. He agrees to help Tate again, but only if it's outside the house. While he's helping Tate, he starts crying because he loves his family and regrets everything that happened. He gets confronted by Vivien about calling Hayden and tells her that she has nothing to worry about. They get a fall from Hayden and the episode ends with Ben opening the door and seeing Hayden's ghost.

Vivien: The realtor suggests that the family hire "fluffers" to make the house look better to sell. The fluffers end up being Chad and Patrick's ghosts. Chad talks to her about Patrick cheating and suggests looking at the phone bill to find out. She discovers Hayden's phone calls and confronts Ben. She left Hayden a phone message, but Bet assures her that there's nothing to worry about, until Hayden calls back. She goes to the hospital because the baby is kicking (which is impossible since the baby is only 8 weeks old) and the nurse faints while looking at the baby on the ultrasound. They return to find Violet missing.

Flashback: One of Nora and Charles' patient's boyfriend finds out about the abortion and takes revenge by kidnapping their baby and sending them the dismembered corpse. Charles begins to operate and tries to put it together and gets caught by Nora.

Violet and Tate: Tate continues his sessions with Ben and reassures him that he's going to be fine when he starts crying. Violet gives Addie a makeover because she wants to be a "pretty girl" for Halloween. Violet asks Tate to tell her what's in the basement, but dismisses his story as a joke. When her parents go to the hospital for the baby, she is home alone when Larry tries to get in and collect his money. Gimp Suit appears behind her and she goes missing.

Constance and Addie: They had a few fights at the start of the episode, but Constance finally allows her to be a "pretty girl" and buys her a mask to wear. Addie goes trick or treating and gets hit by a car and dies. Constance finds her body and tries to carry her to the Harmon's lawn before she dies so that her ghost can haunt the house.

Moira: She asks for Halloween off and visits her mom. Her mom is hooked up to a life support machine and Moira apologizes for not being there for her. She disconnects the machine and her mom's ghost tells her to cross to the other side with her, but Moira tells her that she can't.

Ghosts: Chad and Patrick are the "fluffers" that try to style the house. Chad gives Vivien advice to find out if Ben is cheating. Hayden appears at the end of the episode when Ben opens the door. Charles and Nora's baby gets kidnapped and killed as revenge for the illegal abortion clinic.

Others: Luke installs security for the house and has chemistry with Vivien.

WTF: Oh my god! This one definitely goes to when Addie gets hit by a car and dies. I was not expecting that at all and honestly, my heart broke a little. Addie was one of my favorite characters and unlike the others, is more innocent and naive. When Constance finds her body and cries, I got a bit emotional. Hopefully, her ghost can haunt the house because I want to see more her.

LOL: Zachary Quinto's performance as Chad. I was loving every moment of it! Chad is a very femme and flamboyant gay and it was hilarious. Instead of just being a cliche, the producers also had Patrick as a very masculine man. Every scene with Chad made me laugh and I could relate to everything that was going on.

Fave: Zachary Quinto's Chad. A great addition to the ghosts that haunt the house.

Worst: Larry. He's upgraded from a creepy annoying man that's bothering Ben to a creepy annoying man that's bothering and endangering everyone.

Last 5 Minutes: Gimp Suit is in the house with Violet. Violet goes missing. Ben opens the door and it's Hayden's ghost.

Death Recap: Chad gets his neck snapped by Gimp Suit. Addie gets hit by a car while trick or treating. Charles and Nora's baby gets dismembered as revenge. Moira disconnects her mother's life support so that she can move to the other side.

Rating: This episode had so much going on! I thought that there was a perfect combination of creepy scares and nice plot development and twists. The guest characters were fantastic and hilarious with Chad and Patrick. It was great to see Gimp Suit come back and things even got emotional with Addie died. Some of the mysteries are starting to get unraveled, but there's still a whole part two to the episode. This is probably the best episode to date.
10/10 fluffers.

Predictions: Now we know that if you die in the house, you become a ghost and that explains a lot of the mysteries. I still think that Tate is a ghost and I'm starting to think that all of the main characters are going to die and become part of the repertoire of ghosts that haunt the house. I'm excited to see what happens to to the baby, I'm feeling some Rosemary's Baby vibes from that.
