10 American Horror Story Fates Worse Than Death

1. Spending Eternity As A Housemaid

American Horror Story Moira
Fox

Described by Billie Dean Howard as perhaps the saddest soul to ever inhabit 'Murder House'. She worked as a maid for Constance and Hugo Langdon until, in 1983, she was found, by Constance, as Hugo attempted to rape her. Constance believed her to be complicit and shot her through the eye, thus condemning her to remain trapped within the house.

She would then go on to appear in both her 'old' visage and her 'young' visage, depending on who viewed her. Despite the fact that Constance murdered her, she harbored a deep hatred for men in general, blaming them for her state.

She attempted to free herself with the Harmon's unwitting help, though this was unsuccessful. On Halloween 2011, she was able to leave the house for one night only and visited her ailing mother, who she suqsequently smothered, releasing the older woman from pain. Moira was unable to join her in the afterlife, tethered as she was to the house.

She was eventually freed from the house by Madison Montgomery and Behold Chablis - part of a deal they made with the ghost of Constance Langdon - to finally rid the pair of each other for all eternity. While this my seem like a happy ending, there was a terrible twist.

Thanks to time travel, certain events were erased from history - as was the event of her freedom. Moira remains condemned to the house forever.
