Eh there hasn't ever been any 'massive' crimes or anything here. Unless you want one on the Maori wars but what American would have any interest in that.They should make a New Zealand Horror Story

Theres always fiction, which is most of American Horror Story anyway.
10%You would be surprised how much real life they have got in AHS
Tate Langdon’s Mass Shooting
Murder House
As you may recall in Murder House, Tate committed a mass shooting at his high school in 1994 against those that bullied him.
Remember how he asked a student if she believes in God before killing her? Well, this mirrors a real-life high school shooting like the Columbine one where one of the shooters asked a victim if she too, believed in God before taking her life.
Dr. Arden
Asylum
It’s difficult to forget the horrible Dr. Arden from American Horror Story. It’s hard to believe that his real-life counterpart was actually a lot more horrific!
Asylum’s deranged German doctor is based on SS officer Josef Mengele who worked as a physician at Auschwitz. There he would perform horrendous, deadly experiments on his prisoners, far worse than what we saw on AHS!
Lana Winters
Asylum
Nellie Bly was a journalist who famously set up her own involuntary committal to the Women‘s Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island in 1887. She later exposed the asylum for its terrible treatment of its patients.
Does this ring a bell? The story sounds very similar to Sarah Paulson’s journalist character, Lana Winters in season two when she willfully committed herself into Briarcliff in an effort to shed light on the asylum’s cruelty to patients.
Dr. Thredson
Asylum
There were some twisted individuals back in the day! Twisted to the point where they’d make home ornaments out of body parts!
This may remind you of Dr. Thredson in Asylum – the psychotic serial killer who decorated his home with skin and bones from his victims. There was once a notorious murderer who did the same. Ed Gein used to make lampshades out of human skin and bowls made of human skulls. EEK!

Good evening everybody!
Very informative! I knew some of that. They are based on true stories but they do take a lot of liberties.
Hi there! Hows it going?
I'm doing very well! How about you?
The best part of the holidays!
What are you doing for the holidays?
Eating dinner with peeps, opening presents, standard stuff. You?
Hey y'all, what's going on.
