Killers of American Horror Story and the Real Life Murderers Who Inspired Their Creation

R. Franklin and Richard Speck

Appearing in Season One: Murder House, R Franklin enters the house at night while it is being lived in by student nurses. He binds and stabs both of the girls present to death. This is practically identical to the real life case of Richard Speck who murdered 8 student nurses in the same way on one night in 1966 (the date in the show is given as 1968).

Tate Langdon and the Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold

Also being portrayed in Season One, Tate Langdon is responsible for the fictional Westfield High School shooting in 1994 in which 15 people die. Langdon wore similar attire to the trenchcoats donned by Harris and Klebold. Also like Columbine, a large part of the shooting takes place in the school library. Langdon is additionally described as asking one of his victims if she believed in God and shooting her after she says “Yes”; similar again to claims made about what transpired during the Columbine massacre.

Doctor Oliver Thredson and Ed Gein

Doctor Thredson (aka ‘Bloody Face’) makes his appearance in Season Two: Asylum. His true to life counterpart is Edward Theodore Gein who was a serial killer responsible for the murders of at least 2 women in Plainfield, Wisconsin during the 1950′s. Like real life serial killer Ed Gein, Thredson has severe mommy issues. Also like Gein, Thredson murdered women and mutilated their bodies to create horrific household objects out of skin and bones.

James Patrick March and H.H. Holmes

James Patrick March and Henry Howard Holmes were both serial killers responsible for constructing ‘murder hotels’. Holmes’ ‘murder castle’ (built in Chicago in the 1880′s) served as direct inspiration for the Hotel Cortez, the setting for AHS’ fifth season. The true number of Holmes’ murder victims is unknown but estimates range from 20 to above 200. AHS’ James March is shown to be equally prolific and brutal, using the hotel’s concealed chutes and chambers to dispose of bodies just like real life killer H.H. Holmes.

I also did a similar post to this for Mindhunter, another favourite show of mine so check that out if it’s your thing too.
