American Horror Story: 10 Most Insane Fan Theories
3. Every Montgomery Is Related
It’s no secret that all nine of American Horror Story’s seasons take place in the same universe. With a handful of notable characters reappearing in multiple seasons alongside Apocalypse taking us back to Murder House, there’s more than enough overlapping details for fans to keep themselves busy pouring over.
Another interesting connection between these series that hasn’t been explicitly confirmed is that abortion doctor Charles Montgomery from the first season and narcissistic witch-in-training Madison Montgomery from Coven are related.
Sharing the same surname in addition to both characters coming from California are coincidences big enough for viewers to inquisitively raise some eyebrows, but the connection between these two goes even further.
A more subtle familial connection is that they both have a track record of necromancy. For Charles, it was reanimating the corpse of his dismembered infant son Thaddeus, whereas Maddison brought back the dismembered body of college student Kyle (Peters) after inadvertently killing him in a bus crash.
If true, this theory also gives credence to another fan theory which argues that Charles is a warlock, meaning magic runs through the Montgomery lineage.
