The original season - which was later dubbed Murder House - following a troubled family moving into a haunted house, and set up the show's formula of shock twists and lots of gore served with style. The anthology format has allowed it to switch up genres constantly, with season 9's , for instance, being a loving homage to retro slasher movies like Sleepaway Camp.
It is somewhat fitting the first two episodes - titled "Rubber wo Man" Parts One and Two - revisit the setting of the show's very first season. American Horror Story's "Murder House" was home to the ghost of Evan Peters' Tate, a teenager who was killed by police after committing a mass shooting at his school. Matt Bomer and Gavin Creel star as Michael and Troy Winslow, a married couple who purchase the haunted house with the intent of flipping it for profit. The pair moves into the house along with their teenage daughter, Scarlett Sierra McCormick , who finds the infamous Rubber Man suit shortly after arriving.
Following some reluctance, Scarlett soon embraces the Rubber Woman persona, feeding into her already existing psychopathic tendencies and the lingering spirits' increasing influences. Though Peters has been confirmed to appear in American Horror Story: Double Feature , it was unclear if he was also tapped to appear in the spinoff. Granted, a handful of AHS vets are set to star in the spinoff , so the notion wasn't out of the realm of possibility.
An actor wearing Tate's signature green-striped sweater was even seen on the set of the AHS franchise, but there was confusion whether the sequence was for the primary show or spinoff.
Despite the mysteries, longtime fans hoped Tate and fellow season 1 characters would appear in American Horror Stories. Others believe there's one more mitigating factor in Tate's narrative — his mother, Constance Langdon Jessica Lange.
While Lange's frequently self-righteous and toxic Constance merits occasional bouts of sympathy from fans, she is all together too cruel and in denial of her own shortcomings to garner the same degree of pity or rationalization bestowed upon her son Tate. Moreover, there's her treatment of Travis Wanderley Michael Graziadei , an ostensible inability to care about anyone's needs or emotions but her own, and the fact that — oh, right — she murdered her ex-husband as well as the victim of his sexual advances, Moira Alexandra Breckenridge , whom she blames for his infidelity.
Mother of the year she is not, but is she as responsible as the house's malignant forces for what Tate ultimately became? Taking to social media, fans divulged all of the "Murder House" references they spotted in "American Horror Stories," including the connection between Ruby and Tate you may have missed. While Tate and the "Murder House" ghosts didn't officially appear in the "Rubber Wo man" episodes of "American Horror Stories," a signature piece of his clothing does.
At the end of "Rubber Wo man : Part Two," Ruby is shown wearing a distressed version of Tate's "normal people scare me" T-shirt as she gleefully reunites with Scarlett on Halloween. The shared graphic tee implies that Ruby and Tate are acquainted, likely bonded over their unhinged behavior toward their partners' parents.
