American Horror Story: 15 Times It Went Too Far

12. Violet's Corpse

Season: 1 AHS: Murder House

For a while, viewers were under the impression that Tate had managed to save Violet after she had attempted to commit suicide, but it turns out that she was a ghost, unable to escape the confines of the house in season one. Seeing her rotting corpse surrounded by flies was especially shocking, after all, no one wants to see the decaying body of a teenage girl which has been hidden underneath her house.

However, this was an important moment for Violet and everyone who watched the show as viewers learned alongside the characters the secrets of the Murder House, and how they were pretty much all dead.
