Riddle Me This, Rubber Man That: 'American Horror Story' Update
Everyone's favorite FX series 'American Horror Story' continues to deliver the scares - and the twists.
The new show is about to bring its biggest reveal so far: the identity of the much-hyped Rubber Man. If memory serves, his last appearance was his tryst with a distressed Vivien Harmon (Connie Britton), who in turn fantasized the suit-clad fellow as husband Ben (Bylan McDermott) and the policeman Luke (Morris Chestnut).
Excited sources at E! spilled that the first five minutes of the show would show Rubber Man's identity in full.
The new episode, aptly titled 'Rubber Man', takes the plot to new heights, considering that American Horror Story's storyline goes faster than Japan's bullet train - an unconventional way of running a show where a revelation in a normal TV series takes seasons to unfold.
Vivien will also start doubting her own sanity, which has Hayden's (Kate Mara) handiwork written all over it. Ben's dead mistress is obviously back with a vengeance, and a more sinister plan in mind at that.
Insiders also noted Britton's amazing performance as she juggles between the emotions of shock and acceptance on what would happen.
Mara, on the other hand, could just be the show's meanest antagonist yet; Constance (Jessica Lange) can take a break for now. In fact, her role harbors more secrets as she is described as a "puppet master", referring to her influence to the ghosts in the house.
Just how psychotic this girl would go far to in order to win Ben Harmon back.
Viewers won't see the last of the gay couple either. Chad (Zachary Quinto) and Patrick's (Teddy Sears) history in the house would be further explored - what goes inside their relationship and how it all crumbled down.
Quinto would be donning that creepy latex suit, which makes one wonder if the gay character could possibly father Vivien's mysterious child, er, twins.
Okay, maybe we're sharing too much.
Not to worry though, fans of the horror drama (this is an understatement) will get to witness more chills and thrills as it has been renewed for a second season with 13 episodes. But by the way things are going, the freshman series could be extended further.
