American Horror Story 1984 Episode 3 "Slashdance" Review


Imitation is the best form of tragedy. Coming clean can be pretty messy.
This was a really great episode that was fun to see them sort of messing with a bunch of the suspense that they have established in the previous few episodes and just sort of playing with the classic slasher moves. The real story in this episode around how Rita isn't actually Rita but someone working with Mr. Jingles was a pretty big surprise but it was interesting to see her whole plan that she initially set up and how things slowly started not necessarily go according to plan. Then everything with the jokey Mr. Jingles going around as a bunch of teenagers playing pranks on the counselors was fun to see how they had this extra problem of not necessarily knowing who is really Mr. Jingles and who was just a prankster. And I loved the whole scene with one of the pranksters encountering Mr. Jingles but thinking that it was just one of his friends in a really good costume and that whole exchange with Mr. Jingles and I especially loved Mr. Jingles just being so confused that he ended up just letting the guy go that was a really funny moment. Then everything with Chet and Ray in this episode was really great with them getting stuck in this pit full of spikes and Chet getting seriously hurt and Ray not knowing what to do and eventually choosing to abandon his friend to save his own skin was very interesting especially with the consequences that eventually came for Ray because of his choice to abandon Chet. Then the ending moments between Montana and Richard were a bit surprising and I'm really excited to see how their connection is actually played out and why she is essentially working with the Night Stalker. Then just overall this was a really entertaining episode that was so much fun to watch and I'm so excited to see where they're going to take the storyline next now that a lot of them are pretty badly beaten up.
