A Real Life Freak Show
There are thousands of fans who love this certain show, a show by the name of American Horror Story. Out of all the seasons that this show has made, this season, The Freak Show, is the most peculiar amongst the fans.
This show is very interesting and even I have started to watch it. I may hate clowns but I can’t help myself but watch this show because it truly captures my attention. Carnivals and fairs, these type of shows always have something interesting to capture our attention as such, a Freak Show. There have been some good horror movies and television shows. American Horror Story, Annabelle, The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, An American Haunting, The Conjuring, and Deliver Us From Evil are actual tv shows and movies that are based on true stories and people.
A majority of these characters on American Horror story are actually based on actual people who have been in freak shows. The Lobster Boy aka Jimmy Darling is based an actual boy named Fred Wilson. Wilson had ectrodactyly which means monstrous fingers. Jimmy’s mother Ethel Darling(The Bearded Lady, was based of Angie Jones who was suspected to have hirsutism, lots of hair. In real life these two were not actually related like they are in the television show. These were serious conditions that are actually real. Ma Petite based off of a woman by the name Lucia Zurate who had osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type two. Dot and Bette Tattler, the Siamese Twins were based off Millie and Christine who were conjoined twins. In real life the twins were conjoined from the back, and both had their own sets of arms and legs unlike the twins in the show. I find it amazing how this show is based off of actual people.
Though most people are loving the show, there are some who do not appreciate the show. American Horror Story: Freak Show portrays a clown who is misunderstood and gos on a killing spree. This clown stalks people and has already kidnapped two people. The real life clowns are not happy with this show. All clowns of Clowns of America International feel awful how the show is portraying evil clowns and do not support any any of this.
