American Horror Story Season 1 Episode 4 Recap

Another Night, Another Nightmare: AHS Season 1 Episode 4 Recap!

Okay, folks, gather 'round the virtual campfire, because we're diving headfirst back into the twisted world of American Horror Story: Murder House! This time, we're tackling episode 4, and let me tell you, things are getting WILD. Like, "your-neighbor-is-wearing-a-rubber-suit" wild. Buckle up!

The Harmons: Still Clueless (But We Love Them)

So, the Harmon family, bless their hearts, are still trying to make this whole "haunted house" thing work. Vivien is pregnant, Ben is...well, Ben is Ben (aka making questionable decisions), and Violet is still channeling her inner Wednesday Addams. They are the epitome of a family who accidentally walked into a horror movie.

Vivien is struggling with the pregnancy and has doubts, while Ben is trying to be a good husband. I mean, he's trying really, really hard. Think of a puppy trying to learn a new trick - that's Ben.

Meanwhile, Violet is starting to get friendly with Tate, the troubled teen who may or may not be a ghost. Honestly, at this point, who isn't a ghost in that house?

Constance: More Than Just a Busybody

Constance, our favorite nosy neighbor, is back and creepier than ever. She is the queen of the neighborhood, always meddling and stirring the pot. I swear, she probably has a direct line to the house's ghost hotline.

We also get a glimpse into her past, and let's just say it's not a walk in the park. There is a mysterious dead son in a box. The origin of this dead son is a major part of this episode and beyond.

She's like the real estate agent of the underworld, constantly trying to convince people that living in that house is a great idea. "Charming Victorian! Spacious rooms! Minor poltergeist activity! What's not to love?"

The Rubber Man: Still Creeping Everyone Out

Oh, the Rubber Man. Where do we even begin? This episode dives deeper into his origin story, and let me tell you, it's a doozy. Let's just say, the rubber suit isn't just for kinky fun. It's for some seriously messed-up business.

There are flashbacks explaining who he might be and why he's obsessed with Vivien. Trust me; you will be screaming at the TV during this part. Seriously, lock your doors and hide the rubber suits!

Moira: The Maid With More Than Meets the Eye

Moira, the ever-present maid, continues to be both helpful and utterly terrifying. She's like the Swiss Army knife of haunted house employees – always there to clean up messes, both literal and metaphorical.

We see flashbacks revealing her connection to Constance and the previous owners of the house. Let's just say, her past is as complicated as a Rubik's Cube. Also, are you on the side of young or old Moira?

Overall: Chaos and Cliffhangers

This episode is a rollercoaster of scares, revelations, and WTF moments. This is the kind of episode that will make you want to sleep with the lights on and invest in a good ghost-hunting kit. Maybe even a rubber suit repellent.

The episode ends with a major cliffhanger, leaving us desperate for more. American Horror Story continues to deliver the scares and the drama. I am here for it!

So, that's episode 4 in a nutshell! Now, go forth and binge-watch at your own risk! Just don't blame me when you start seeing rubber suits in your dreams.
