15 Best American Horror Story Deaths
3. Meep - Freak Show
Despite putting on shows and entertaining many people, Elsa Mars' Cabinet of Curiosities was mostly hated and persecuted in Jupiter. Labelled freaks, the likes of Jimmy, Bette and Dot could never find a place in the real world, save for with their chosen family within the troupe.
This hatred was demonstrated throughout season four, but never quite so terribly and heart-breakingly as when Meep was sent to prison. After Del framed the show's resident chicken head eater for the murder of a police officer, he was taken away. It was clear that this was dangerous, but the officers who took him away didn't care.
Being locked up in a cell filled with ruthless criminals resulted in the death of poor, innocent Meep. Though this took place off screen, knowing what happened and seeing how his body was dumped on the troupe's yard in such a disrespectful way made this one of the most emotionally charged deaths in the series.
It's almost made worse by not seeing it happen, as it forced audiences to imagine the worst case scenario of the horrors Meep had to endure before he died. This death broke not only Jimmy Darling, but everybody watching as well.
