15 Best American Horror Story Deaths
5. Maggie Esmerelda - Freak Show
Throughout her time on American Horror Story, Emma Roberts has brought several fantastic characters to life, the majority of which are far from virtuous. Madison Montgomery and Serena Belinda were certainly flawed, but arriving in Jupiter with the intention of killing and selling off the bodies of Elsa's freak show makes Maggie Esmerelda the worst of them all.
Even so, the character didn't deserve the death she was ultimately subjected to at the hands, and the saw, of Chester Creb. There are very few people who would.
While trying to get back in the troupe's good books, Maggie offered to be Chester's assistant in his magic act. The plan was for him to 'saw her in half', but after the magician hallucinated and saw Maggie as Lucy, Alice, and Marjorie, he trapped her, not allowing her to escape before the saw ripped through her stomach.
Maggie begged him to stop as he was hurling abuse at her, but he paid no mind, and cut clean through her. The reveal of Maggie's insides spilling to the floor while the delusional Chester tries to put her back together is one of the toughest to watch scenes in Freak Show, which is truly saying something.
