Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 8, I learned that many horror movies have a Final Girl, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have more than one! Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.
In last night’s episode, “Rest in Pieces,” Brooke and Donna continue to work together to carry out their story of revenge. Meanwhile, the serial killers team up, determined to create a massacre that will be remembered for all time. My top 5 moments from the American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 8 are:
5
“We’re trying to listen to Creedence!”
Dylan McDermott’s character showed up at exactly the right time. He certainly likes the feisty ones and he is stealing the show at this point with his overenthusiastic quest to get his numbers up so he can be a Serial Killer legend. But can he truly keep up with Margaret and the Night Stalker? Maybe not, but I’m entertained for sure!
4
“Kajagoogoo is dead!”
After discovering the dead bodies on the bus, Margaret is outraged, screaming out that “Kajagoogoo is dead!” Her assistant tries to make things right, but Margaret wants him to clean up this nightmare, refusing to let a one hit wonder get in the way of her show.
Only Kajagoogoo refuses to let his single fade away along with him, as he comes back to life to continue to sing “Too Shy,” which was absolutely hilarious.
3
“I’m with Satan.”
The Night Stalker is definitely not too shy about showing off where his loyalty lies, but Benjamin/Mr. Jingles is ready to stop him once and for all. The Night Stalker is shocked and somewhat impressed to discover that Benjamin killed himself to stop him, but I’m still waiting for this final showdown between them.
Perhaps Benjamin should try and kill Billy Idol to distract the Night Stalker since he wants to protect him no matter what.
Our new trio of serial killers is formed and Margaret is determined to kill every single musician that performs (except Billy) to become a serial killer legend, but we’ll have to see who has the true moment in the spotlight in the finale.

“You’re 80’s forever!”
Trevor continues to fall in love with ghost Montana, who is starting to realize that perhaps she doesn’t deserve to be happy. After hearing about what Richard Ramirez has become, she thinks she is a monster and starts to blame herself for his actions.
Will Montana try and redeem herself?
We’ll have to wait and see, but she does push Trevor away, not wanting him to throw his life away to be with her in the afterlife. I guess that’s a start…

“We’re the best story she’s ever had.”
Brooke and Donna continue to make an unbelievable tag team, but their plan gets put on hold when a nosy book writer shows up, claiming she knows exactly who they are. Brooke promises her the story of her life in exchange for their freedom, but poor Stacy gets more than she bargained for when she is actually killed by our new trio of serial killers.
Brooke tells Donna that perhaps they are both Final Girls and I agree! I’m absolutely rooting for them both and I just want to see their story of revenge take on a life of its own. Donna is still reminding Brooke about doing the right thing so we will have to see how this plays out, but I’m all for changing up the rules to allow two Final Girls to come out victorious.
How will it all end? Stay tuned for the season finale next week!
