American Horror Story: 12 Most Dramatic Deaths

8. Meep

Season: Freak Show What did Meep ever do to anyone? All he did was "Meep" and bite the heads off of chickens for entertainment, and he was loved for it. Meep was a very innocent character and his use of singular vocabulary meant that he was unable to defend himself inside the interrogation room of the police station and physically inside the prison cell. At the Freak Show he had his friends to protect and defend him, but as soon as he was thrown out of that place of warmth and security, he was like a fish out of water. But what made Meep's departure so brutal was the fact that he was beaten to death by prisoners just because he was born different, as well as the fact that he was imprisoned for a crime that he didn't commit in the first place. He was betrayed by Dell who placed evidence amongst Meep's possessions. Although you didn't see his death on screen, it was difficult to watch Jimmy's and the rest of the freaks' reaction to Meep's little body which was brought back and dumped in front of their tent. Unfortunately the actor who played Meep, Ben Woolf, was tragically killed in a car accident in February earlier this year.
