Ryan Murphy talks The Black Dahlia.'American Horror Story':


Tonight’s episode, “Spooky Little Girl,” revealed two more deaths that occurred in the infamous “Murder House”: Elizabeth Short aka “The Black Dahlia” (Mena Suvari) and Constance’s boytoy Travis (Michael Graziadei). The ghostly presences in that house are starting to really multiply. Perhaps the most chilling moment though occurred at the very end during a kitchen conversation between Constance (Jessica Lange) and Billie Dean (Sarah Paulson). Worried over what kind of child Tate (Evan Peters) and Vivien (Connie Britton) would conceive, Constance asked Billie Jean for her psychic opinion. Billie Jean revealed that any conception between the undead and the living would yield, according to the Catholic Church, the anti-christ who would bring about the End of Days. Well, that’s certainly going to put a damper on tree-trimming time at the Harmon house. EW talked to Ryan Murphy about tonight’s gruesome deaths and what’s in store for Vivien’s literally damned pregnancy.
Yes we did. I think the thing about it even from the first episode and that first therapy session there was always a certain thing to his character that led you to believe him. People in some weird way are pissed that he’s the Rubber Man like the fact that he raped Violet’s mother makes him a bad guy. To which I’m responding “Well what about the high school massacre.” To Evan’s great credit and the credit of the writers, I think Evan’s done an amazingly difficult job making a monster sympathetic. We had that great monologue by one of the high school girls early in the season where she says, “The devil is beautiful.” So if you look back we really have put those teasers in there. I’m thrilled people are pissed about that choice. It’s a very difficult thing for Violet because of course she will find out the truth. Tate is the true monster of the show but because Evan has made him so likable and lovable and complex, I think people are torn.
