Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 8: “Final Girls”

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:

“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!

“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.

“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!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 7: “The Lady in White”

Happy Halloween TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 7, I learned that one should be careful about signing any kind of contract…especially if it’s with the devil. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “The Lady in White,” we say hello to some familiar AHS alum faces and they are ready to stir up some trouble. Meanwhile, we flash back to the 1940’s and learn more about Benjamin’s past and Brooke shows us her Final Girl potential while rocking it at a roller rink. My top 5 moments from American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 7 are:

“She stole my life.”

Brooke and Donna make quite the tag team during this episode. Donna reveals that she swapped out the lethal injection, explaining why Brooke is really alive right now. Donna claims she is trying to make things right, knowing all too well what’s waiting on the other side if she continues down the wrong path.

Now that Brooke is finally free, will she be able to pull out all the stops as our Final Girl? Let’s hope so!

“What about your stranger policy?”

Hey Dylan McDermott! It’s always great to see him on AHS, although his character certainly seems shady. After meeting Brooke and Donna at the roller rink, he claims he needs a ride to go see his girlfriend, but things get a little suspicious on the ride there, suggesting that perhaps they just picked up a serial killer stranger. What are the odds?

“They couldn’t erase the evil.”

Dylan McDermott isn’t the only familiar face on this week’s episode of AHS 1984, as Lily Rabe also shows up, playing Benjamin’s mother. We flash back to 1948 when Camp Redwood was known as Camp Golden Star, discovering that Benjamin’s mother worked there and he and his brother were campers. After his mother told him to keep an eye on his brother, Benjamin lost sight of him for a moment and his brother ended up being brutally killed by the engine of a boat.

Benjamin’s mother has a nervous breakdown and decides to take her rage out on everyone, revealing the first real massacre here. After Benjamin ended her life, her blood seeped into the campgrounds, which would explain why there is a curse here. It’s clear that she may be the cause of all of this and it also explains why she hates camp counselors, since she blames them partially for her son’s death, giving us some Friday the 13^th nostalgia.

Benjamin’s mother also blames him, but can he make things right? Well, I’m not sure he will get the chance since he is killed by…himself? I’m not really too sure about this part. Was this supposed to be a projection of his brother or just the killer version of his own ghost? Either way, this version of Benjamin may be a worthy match for the Night Stalker, Ramirez.

“Your hitchhiking days are over.”

After the stranger in the car takes out a cop, he reveals that he is a serial killer and he’s actually trying to catch up to the Night Stalker by adding to his kill list. Brooke is presented with a choice: she can either save herself and drag Donna to her death or be killed.

Brooke says she is choosing herself, but ends up throwing the car in the reverse. Brooke and Donna work together and leave the stranger on the side of the road, but cut off some fingers to prevent him from hitching a ride.

Brooke is now the bad-ass girl I have been waiting for and I can’t wait to see this tag team see it through until the end!

“When you sign a contract with the devil, you better understand the fine print.”

The Night Stalker shows up and actually kills Kajagoogoo, claiming he already has his autograph after he signed a contract with the devil. The rest of the tour bus is found dead as well, but what about Billy?!

The Night Stalker has arrived and he’s ready to leave his mark, but I’m very excited to see the final showdown.

Overall, the episode was all right. I thought that the time jumps were slightly unnecessary, but I loved seeing some familiar faces on the show and right now, Brooke’s journey to become the Final Girl is the only thing keeping me invested. I’m hoping she can get everything back on track for us because I don’t want to lose the 80’s slasher vibe that hooked me on to the new season in the first place. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from “American Horror Story: 1984” season 9 episode 3: “Happy Jingles Day!”

Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the FX network’s American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 3, I started to wonder if there truly is method behind madness or if some people are just evil? Well, it looks like we are about to test this theory out and then some. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.

In last night’s episode, “Slashdance,” we get a glimpse into Rita and Ray’s past, discovering that everyone has something to hide at Camp Redwood. Meanwhile, there are still two killers on the loose while impostors run around dressed up as Mr. Jingles to celebrate the anniversary of the massacre. My top 5 moments from the American Horror Story: 1984 season 9 episode 3 are:

“You totally missed it!”

Everyone gets quite a scare when multiple Jingles start appearing, as we quickly learn that it is Jingles Day. Several kids decide to prank people to celebrate the day of the massacre because apparently it’s tradition, but they are in for a big surprise when the real Mr. Jingles shows up to break up the party.

I guess he isn’t too impressed by the day in his honor, as he proceeds to brutally kill these impostors, but he hesitates when he comes across one with an inhaler, which suggests that perhaps Mr. Jingles doesn’t want to kill everyone…

“Oh honey, I wish you could see your face right now…”

Brooke and Rita make it to the car, but Brooke starts to panic when her friends take too long to catch up. She thinks that she should go for help, but Rita has other plans when she injects Brooke with a tranquilizer, providing us with an interesting twist for sure, as we learn that Rita has been less than honest with the rest of the group.

But why does everyone seem to be so focused on Brooke? We already got a glimpse into her past and I’m sure some of Joey’s family members might want to seek out revenge, but is there something else from her past that has not surfaced yet?

“Maybe it isn’t all my fault.”

So, we learn that Rita is not Rita at all and her real name is Donna Chambers. She is a psychologist who studies serial killers and she paid Mr. Jingles a visit in the asylum a week before he escaped. Donna gets Mr. Jingles to open up and chat, as she explains that she thinks that something in his life caused him to be this way.

Donna certainly seems to blame pornography and the military quite a bit, but she wants to see Mr. Jingles in his natural habitat, as we discover that she was the one to help plan his escape. Donna talks about redemption, but I’m not sure if Mr. Jingles is really making that much progress during his killing spree…although I guess sparing one life is something?

Donna is also far from innocent, as she meets the real Nurse Rita on the way to Camp Redwood and decides to take on her identity. While it initially seemed like Donna killed poor Rita, Rita wakes up later on when Xavier and Montana are hiding from Mr. Jingles and begins screaming even after they tell her to be quiet. Rita’s day doesn’t get any easier, as Mr. Jingles decides to shut her up permanently…by shoving an oar in her mouth.

“What the hell are you doing down there?”

“I’m dying!” The campy horror humor continues in this episode and several moments made me laugh out loud. Ray doesn’t learn from his past mistakes, as he repeatedly leaves his friends to die to save himself…but what goes around comes around. Ray yells out, “See ya,” when riding off on the motorcycle…right before Mr. Jingles decides to decapitate him. So long, Ray!

“Why the hell haven’t you killed her yet?”

Fake Rita was not the only twist during the episode, as Montana comes face-to-face with the Night Stalker at the end of the episode. While it initially seemed like Montana was in some real trouble here, the two proceed to make out and Montana asks him why he hasn’t killed her yet.

So now of course, I am extremely interested in Montana’s past and motive and it looks like we will get to see a glimpse of it in next week’s episode. The twists and turns keep coming our way and I have to say that I am absolutely loving the new season!
