Warning: Spoilers, Teasers, & Precap for AHS:Coven Episode 6…
and a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Are you ready to get scurred by someone other than season 1 & 2 villains Rubber Man & Bloody Face that also kills at night? What’s next for AHS:Coven after witches, minotaurs, & zombies? CHOP CHOP! It’s The AXEMAN of New Orleans, a notorious REAL life serial killer who terrorized the city with a bloody killing spree from 1918-1919…. The writers have creatively fictionalized him into the show, and he is as sexual, wild, & dangerous as Fiona. They both just want to get drunk and fuck. A match made in hell? #Epic…. He is played by the talented & wickedly handsome Danny Huston. He recently co-stared on ‘Magic City’ as the frequently naked & impotent psycho-gangster Ben “The Butcher” Diamond for two seasons. #Typecasting but he is perfect for this role, and he is great at acting batshit crazy.
The REAL Axeman taunted the police, and he mailed a letter to the newspapers with a return address as HELL. In his letter he promised to “leave no clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood and brains.” He also LOVED jazz music. He wrote, “I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing”. This caused a panic to all the locals to pack the dance halls and hire hundreds of amateur jazz musicians in the hopes of warding off the Axeman. The murders stopped mysteriously just as they started, and he has never been identified or caught.
In episode 6 titled “The Axeman Cometh” we meet him in a flashback scene to 1919 New Orleans. And while the Axeman was a dangerous killer, the young witches at Miss Robichaux’s Academy at the time plan to defy his warnings about ALL THAT JAZZ.
In the present day New Orleans Fiona is feeling vulnerable, and her powers are weakening. The student witches at the Academy make a pact to look out for each other in the wake of Madison’s disappearance. Zoe finds a hidden spirit board; actually it may have found her. The girls decide to use it to find Madison. Things don’t go as planned which only leads to more confusion… but they do make contact with the Axeman whose spirit has been trapped within the Academy’s walls… and they get more than just messages from the beyond. Zoe pisses him off, and then things start to get cray cray scurry.
Now that Cordelia is blind, she can see the TRUTH… and this power brings on heartbreaking revelations for her. #YoManIsNoGood…. If Myrtle really was at the hospital as Fiona claims, maybe she gave Cordelia this new power??? She is the Guardian of Truth. This is only me theorizing, but creator Ryan Murphy has teased that “Cordelia might be the most talented of them all”.
At the swamp Misty Day has a surprise reunion with Franken-Kyle, and with Zoe, who needs her help with something we all are expecting to happen. I’m just eager to hear another Stevie Nicks song. I want to hear #Dreams… I know 7 or 8 songs are planned to be used for the season, and we’ve only heard three so far.
The zombies are dead again, so what is Marie going to do for revenge against Fiona & the Coven? She makes a powerful ally with someone unexpected with secrets that are darker than previously known. #UsualSuspects, It could be anyone: Delphine, Madison, Myrtle, Misty, Hank, or the Axeman?
What about our favorite FLAMED haired witch? When asked about Myrtle this is what creator Ryan Murphy had to say: Myrtle has to have vengeance on that Fiona. She is the one of all of them who is the most invested in saving that coven and doing the right thing, so she comes back in a major way. But she was very strict and by the book and I think after being burnt at the stake, it does sort of make you sort of be like, “You know what about the rules? Fuck it. I’m gonna do what I wanna do.” So we will see a quite unhinged, dangerous Myrtle. Fiona is just making enemies at every turn. So that is all building to a head.
*******HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT THIS MORNING by creator Ryan Murphy: Stevie will be making Misty’s dreams come true by paying the show a visit with an upcoming guest appearance! Ryan Murphy tweeted, “Guess who’s visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!” YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I just died a little bit. I’m gonna need some resurrection services.
Watch American Horror Story:Coven on Wednesday 10 pm eastern/9 pm central on the FX Channel. Come here before, during and after the show to spill all your crazy-ass thoughts & ideas. I visit a few AHS forums, and you guys & gals are the smartest & most articulate out of the whole bunch. THANK YOU! If you missed last week’s recap, you can read it here. You can stalk me @Urethra_F on twitter….
On Stevie Night (which WILL become an official Gay Holiday), I think we need to do a live group chat. And all wear shawls.
I live comment during the show sometimes. You know FASCINATING stuff like OMG OMG I CAN’T LOOK. Then UF makes fun of me and giggles to himself for making me watch this crap.
Crap? Oh no you di’int….. Who is the iceman? It’s axeman. Grrrr.
Oh shit. Will fix now. I told you I am narcoleptic today!
I found out that Stevie Nicks will appear in episode 10.
I think Stevie is a real live witch!
OMG I live for Stevie. I saw Fleetwood Mac perform in LA over the summer, and I actually sat down during all of Lindsey Buckingham’s solos. I was like “Where’s Stevie?! Is she doing a costume change? When is she coming back? I wonder if her dogs are backstage…” Cannot wait until episode 10!
Thanks for the recap urethra!
Request T: Can we get a sidebar for Jordan Graham? She’s the chick accused of pushing her husband off a cliff. I need your snooping skills to gather all the details
sigh. must you make me work? You know I can’t deny your requests. I’m onnit.
Thanks for the speedy response! You’re the best!
YAAAYYYY for Stevie showing up!! I was kinda hoping that Delphine was going to give Fiona her face plaster recipe..handed down in a flashback with some english dude named Jack. His return adress was hell too. But the Axeman has real history there so it fits better.
So excited about Stevie Nicks and Myrtle. The Axeman, me no likey. Can’t wait until tomorrow night. I hope I’m home when it airs to join comments. Thanks TT and UF for a great place to talk about AHS, this is the best place to be.
The AHSCoven version of the Axeman is batshit crazy, but I hope he’s charming too. #Killer
Lovin’ me some Urethra! Damn. Between TT and UF, the writing God and the wit God blessed you both. #gottaappreciatetruetalent
The actor playing the Axeman, Danny Huston, is the Anjelica Huston’s brother. His family is acting “royalty”. He is going to bring the crazy to #AHSCoven. He’s perfect for Fiona.
I LOVE me some Danny Huston!!! He’s beyond perfect here, swoon!
YAY Natalie K is here. Yes he is deviliciously charming. He was so good on Magic City on the Starz Channel. He was nekkid a lot in that show.
so is Kyle gonna hookup with Myrtle? Bride of Frankenstein thing? Cordelia should find out about Madison..and Spauldig too for that matter with her new vision
Kyle & Myrtle? LOL…
Madison is found, but not by Cordelia. Have I spoiled too much?
yes Kyle and Myrtle. They both are brought back by Misty and both should have deep scars. Just dont put alot of detail to the spoilers so the imagination still has to work!!
Zoe brought Kyle back i forgot..sorry there are so many details to remember with AHS
I promise it will still be a fun and surprising show. My mouth is sealed until after the show Wed.
I’ m not so sure Zoe brought Kyle back; remember Misty was ‘summoned’ she said. Zoe perhaps just followed Misty’s direction talked to Kyle and kissed him. I think it just might be like how the woman in the hospital might have really been Fiona: Misty was the one telling Fiona what to say to her dead baby? Just maybe?
I still don’t think that hospital scene was anything more than a drug & grief induced hallucination as a coping mechanism. But we’ll see. Your theory is way smarter than anything I could think of.
UF, oh hell no!!! My ‘theories’ are just a result of an overactive thyroidal imagination!!! Although I’d love to be right at guessing a future plot point, I’m just trying to guess where the real creative minds go. Reading your pre/recaps excite my creative juices LOL:)
I also drooled a bit when the beans were spilt on Stevie actually agreeing to appear (along with her songs) as favor to Ryan. As a diehard Fleetwood Mac fan during their heyday (& forever to this day fan of Stevie), I can’t for the life of me remember her being accused of being a real witch and receiving hate mail because of it; therefore, hesitant to appear and wanting to distance herself from that association. See, if there was social media, Twitter, and reality TV when I was growing up, I would have known!
I’m enthralled with who Voodoo Marie will hook up with: let’s see, there’s Queenie, if she’s not totally besotted by Fiona’s faux praise and promises, maybe even Delia clues Queenie in on it. Then there’s a possible resurrection of one-armed Maddie, that could possibly be a result of Voodoo Marie doing a singular zombie spell, and we know there’s no love lost between Maddie and Fiona (let alone being a marionette for Spalding’s doll fetish tea parties?
It would also be interesting if one of the reanimators brings back Kaylee after being assassinated by Hank. Alexandra Breckenridge (sp?) was great in Season One as young Francis Conroy (Myrtle). Maybe she’s a contender since Cordelia might feel a little sorry for her cra cra man offing her.
Of course there’s always Zoe, doe-eyed, lovelorn good girl w/ a killer vagina, skilled with chainsaws, and now face-palming zombies to death. Along with Nan, who is just damn psychic nosy! I guess there’s really going to be a Battle of the Witches, whoopee.
I’m thinking Laveau’s new ally is going to be ida Lupino’s character since she’s been Conspicuously absent the past couple of episodes.
Yes, I agree. No way momma would be missing in action on Halloween night and allow her son to slip out and spend the night somewhere else without calling the National Guard and her prayer group.
I give you an Amen there James….I mentioned before I have this gut feeling that holy roller mama Luke has more baggage than we know – I was thinking just perhaps either she was once a witchy woman who went 180 or now you mention this, could be just a real holy roller that would go to any length to protect her hunk of a baby boy?
All I want to know is what Spaulding is wearing to this episode’s tea party. On second thought, don’t spill it, I want to take it all in like a birthday present.
I have no idea, but I bet Maddie will be wearing a stylish, off the shoulder number?:)
Zoe will stitch Madisons arm back on then go to Misty for bring her back help. When will Fiona find out about Misty and what will she do when she does discover everybody chilling in the swamp? Misty is going to need a bigger shack.
steve I LIKE that theory! And too bad Stevie Nicks didn’t record “Love Shack”! Also looks like I stand corrected on the end of the zombie storyline. Watching Sons of Anarchy and a 15 sec clip of AHS comes on and those shredding ass cretins are all over the place!
Just for you UF, I’m already singing
“Thunder only happens when it’s raining
Players only love you when they’re playing
They say Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you’ll know
You will knooowwww”
I love it thank you. I’m actually listening to it right now for probably the 10th time today.
ive always been partial to *gold dust woman*
My favorite part of that song is right around the 3:00 mark when she wails that note.
any spoiler on nan and her bible totin homeboy from next door? seems he evaporated after the pants pissin response to the zombie party in ep 4. they need to use ‘ol patty ‘thumper’ lupone more in upcoming eps! just my 2 cents….MM
I can’t wait…I can’t wait! 😛
I wish I would have known that you were doing recaps of the show. I have been looking for a post like this on the show since I started to watch this season.
Welcome Cami!
There are still 8 episodes left. You are not that late, and so glad you found us AHS lovers here TT. You can read all my posts about AHS:Coven by clicking on my name in red above. And come back and share all your thoughts. By the way, Jessica Lange is everythang!!!!!! #BowDownBitches
It’s TIME! And the AXEMAN is already Axing people!
Kyle is not a Stevie Nicks fan.
Yay! First Evan Peters ass shot of the season.
way back when i had that same 8 track player they just smashed
And tomorrow drag queens across the country will be bellowing Aangela Bassett’s speech from tonight.
I want MORE Angela Bassett… She was hands down the BEST scene of the night. She scurred me a little. WOW can she act or what?…..I have to LOL at the “fat ass cracker bitch” comment… And I was right in my theory that Kaylee was a witch and that Hank was a witch hunter/spy…
what is the name of the Fleetwood mac song in The Axeman Cometh
Leather and Lace
It was sung by Stevie Nicks & Don Henley of the Eagles from her solo debut album Bella Donna.
Which I BEGGED my older brother to buy me a copy of. On cassette. Cuz that’s how we rolled in the early 80s.
looks like the axeman is gonna give Fiona her asked for fling! Madisons reanimation scream was real. They told her they would be using a fake roach to climb out her mouth.
leather and lace was Stevie and Tom Petty UF
wrong.
looked at liner notes and you are right UF, Don henley and all these years i thought Tom sang with her..oops
TT this was probably the only episode you could watch in full because the gore factor was very low.
True, It wasn’t that bad and the hour FLEW by. I could no believe when it was over it had been an hour.
did they ever cover Nans boy, the next door neighbor tonight? And his mamma?
Yes Steve with a very short reference.
Nan said that Luke was not here (The Academy), and that his mom kept slamming the door on her face.
The Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty duet was Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, which would seem appropos as well.
Urethra Franklin: Your name is mentioned on Buzzfeed in the post titled “The 29 Most Ridiculous Spelling Fails of All Time”. You are number 17.
LOL. That sums me up perfectly because I AM RIDICULOUS.
As far as I am concerned, I made that name up in the mid 1990’s as joke when I met someone using the name Tina Tuna on a drunken Halloween night. Now there are tons of UF’s out there in cyberspace and on a drag queen stage somewhere. I am NOT a drag queen, but just a dude that likes to be ridiculous.
Hey all, my recap/blog is finished. Just waiting for TT to post online later today. Check back soon.
