American Horror Story: 10 Craziest Fan Theories

4. Down The Rabbit Hole...

While on the topic Dandy's role in Season 4, let's take a look at one particular fan theory that suggests the entire Freak Show run is actually an allegory for Alice in Wonderland. Why Murphy and the writers would choose to deliberately do this is beyond crazy, but let's take a look at the evidence. Throughout the first few episodes of season four, the drug opium is regularly used, which also happens to have been cited as an inspiration for the surreal elements of Lewis Carroll's original story. Not sold yet? OK, how about Twisty the clown's Cheshire Cat smile? Couldn't the top hat motif be linked to the Mad Hatter? And Dandy regularly plays croquet in his room, just like The Queen of Hearts. It's all slotting into place. Hey, the name of this article isn't American Horror Story: 10 Most Believable Fan Theories. Just saying.
