A Running Tally of Everyone Who's Died on American Horror Story: 1984 So Far

10/10/2019 - 06:50 PM

If there's anything American Horror Story: 1984 [1] is good for, it's giving fans a good dose of gory death along with a million questions. While we're trying to figure out exactly what the heck is going down [2] at Camp Redwood over the course of what seems like just one night, characters are dropping like flies. Whenever the sun chooses to rise again [3], the cleanup is definitely going to be a b*tch. We've rounded up the biggest deaths of the season so far — leaving out some inconsequential ones like those pesky Mr. Jingles impersonators. Check out our tally of 1984's casualties, and make sure to check back, since we'll definitely be updating this weekly.

Ed, the Mechanic

Poor, Ed. He tried to warn those crazy kids that Camp Redwood was nothing but trouble! Sadly, he meets his end thanks to Mr. Jingles, getting crushed underneath a car in his garage. Bummer.

Jonas "The Hiker"

We meet Jonas in the first episode of 1984 and he's our first real clue that something at Camp Redwood is wonky — supernaturally wonky. He seems to have amnesia and a bad habit of saying vaguely creepy things that freak everyone out. And there's his weird little quirk of not staying dead. It's enough to unnerve the Night Stalker into seeking answers from Margaret, which is how we learn that Jonas is a ghost [4]! He was a camp counsellor during the 1970 massacre and tried to run, getting killed by who he assumes was Mr. Jingles. Now, he wanders the grounds of the camp, perpetually living out his last night on Earth, running from Mr. Jingles.

Dr. Karen Hopper

The good Doctor meets her end while trying to deliver a note of warning to the folks at Camp Redwood. She meets with Margaret and reveals that Mr. Jingles has escaped the mental hospital [5] to return to the camp, but the younger woman refuses to stop her reopening. (And seems suspiciously unbothered by the news, I might add!) As Dr. Karen attempts to leave the camp, she's cornered by her former patient, Mr. Jingles himself, who quickly butchers her without apology.

Blake

Blake, the super-skeevy producer who attempts to get Xavier to return to star in porn videos, gets an appropriately pervy demise. Xavier suggests that Blake check out Trevor (Matthew Morrison [6]), a camp activities director who's known for having a dick too large for Jane Fonda's workout videos (yep, you read that correctly). As Blake gets an eyeful watching Trevor shower through a peephole, Mr. Jingles puts a nail through his eyeball, killing him instantly. At least he goes out staring at what he calls "an act of God."

Nurse Rita (the Real One)

If the real Nurse Rita was still with us, she would definitely rue the day she took the job at Camp Redwood. In episode three, we find out that Angelica Ross's Nurse Rita is actually a sadistic psychologist who set all this in motion when she broke Mr. Jingles out to observe him in his "natural habitat." Montana, Trevor, and Xavier learn the truth about "Rita" when they find the real nurse Rita tied up in the boat house. Though they attempt to keep her safe, she runs away from them and straight into the path of Mr. Jingles, who immediately murders her.

Ray

Somehow, in the same area as two (or possibly three [7]) serial killers, Ray manages to look like the biggest dirtbag of them all in the episode of his death. He attempts to leave people for dead three times — one of those times is literally right after Chet has saved his life. His constant cowardliness makes it hard to feel bad when Mr. Jingles lops his head clean off his shoulders as he tries to flee the camp.
