*Spoiler Alert*
In the last episode of American Horror Story, we have learned poor innocent Violet (Taissa Farmiga) is indeed dead, but her parents are still clueless, and Tate (Evan Peters) was the one who set Larry (Denis O’Hare) on fire before the school shooting.
“American Horror Story” Evan Peters (aka Tate Langdon) Reveals Spooky Secrets
The teen is a psychotic crack head ghost with murderous instincts and a rapist, but he is madly in love and that’s all that matters. Wait until his now ghost girlfriend finds out he raped her mother, who’s most likely expecting his devilish ghost babies.
Anyhow, creator Ryan Murphy explained how intense it was to shoot the Violet/Tate (aka Violate) scene during which her dead body was revealed, and confessed he wanted to keep people guessing about what had really happened to her after the suicide attempt for as long as possible.
Ryan said, “I always knew she was dead but I didn’t wanna tell people until I absolutely had to. So in the writer’s room as we’re writing one day, two episodes after the pill thing, I go “You guys do realize Violet’s dead?” And then they’re all like, “What?!” I edited the show where she took the pills in a way to me that was very vague. So yeah, I always knew that I wanted her to die.”
“The thing about where the body was revealed was always in my mind, as well. I think Evan and Taissa were so brilliant in that episode. It was very emotional to watch.When we shot it, I think we did not show Taissa the mold of her body. We reserved that for her close-ups, so what you’re seeing is her actually responding and looking at a dead her.”
Wow. Taissa is reacting to the sight of her own dead body? You think that’s creepy? No, it’s called method acting. Will her parents, Vivien (Connie Britton) and Ben (Dylan McDermott), ever find out their daughter’s body is rotting somewhere in the place they call home?
Ryan said, “They will eventually find out if she’s dead, and imagine what you would do as a parent if you found out your child was dead. Would you want to live? Would you want to die yourself? I knew that it would be ripe for that family.”
The real motives behind Tate’s school massacre were also explained. He was rebelling against his mother Constance (played by the incredible Jessica Lange), who killed his disfigured brother Beau and put way too much pressure on her one and only perfect child.
“I do think Tate was probably someone who was bullied and made fun of. What he has done in many ways, all of it is in retaliation of Constance. She had several children and he was “the most beautiful” and she had such high expectations and needs and wants and probably wanted him to fill some of her own dreams and ambitions and he was just not gonna have it. We show him doing a lot of crystal meth. That’s what he’s doing, coke and crystal meth, before the shooting. I think his massacre became even worse because of the drug taking,” said Ryan.
Constance’s children? Now the real mystery is the identity of her fourth child. Meanwhile, Ryan promised the infantata is back and scarier than ever. “We’ve been very careful to only show split seconds of the infantata and in the next episode you really get to see what that little baby has grown up to look like and it’s really scary. I think it’s the scariest shot of the year.”
Do not miss the upcoming episode of “American Horror Story” titled “Birth” on Wednesday (December 14). The big first season finale “Afterbirth” is set to air on December 21, 2011.
I know this is for a reason.”
