American Horror Story: 10 Most Horrific Moments

7. It's 'Mott' Funny

American Horror Story Blood Bath
FX

Season: Freak Show

Episode: 8 - "Blood Bath"

Rating: 3/5 Bloody Faces

The unhinged Mott family were never going to have a happy ending, or even exit Freak Show alive. Whilst Ryan Murphy promises that the show will visit the troubled family name again this year, I'm not sure if I want to. A grim taste of all money and no style, Dandy Mott was the mommy's boy to the equally unhinged Gloria. Played superbly by Horror Story veteran Frances Conroy, Gloria hid one-too-many of Dandy's crimes, and has the honour of setting him up with creepy Twisty the Clown.

When it came to the final showdown, even Gloria couldn't forgive Dandy, and decided to lure him into a psychiatry session. After accusing his mother of family inbreeding to save the Mott fortune, and blaming all his problems on her, Dandy turned a gun on himself. Gloria pleaded with her son, saying she couldn't live without him - agreeing, Dandy shot Gloria in the head. Afterwards he bathed in the blood of his own mother, and attached her head to the body of an Avon Lady he had recently killed. With his mother's head attached, Dandy created his own Tattler Twin puppet.
