Season 11 of "American Horror Story," (https://www.looper.com/136489/the-untold-truth-of-american-horror-story/) "American Horror Story: NYC," offers viewers a truly disturbing tale. This season, the series focuses on the city that never sleeps, where terrifying killers stalk an unsuspecting slew of victims. And that's not the only problem haunting the Big Apple. As the mysterious Big Daddy and the elusive Mr. Whitely (Jeff Hiller) hunt their prey, another deadly entity sweeps the city: A mysterious infection, which causes suspicious markings to appear on sufferers' skin. This harrowing illness leads Dr. Hannah Wells (Billie Lourd) down a sinister rabbit hole of investigation. After a pack of deer are infected, Dr. Wells' complex research uncovers even more strange findings.
The entire bloody affair is fascinating, terrifying, and brimming with social allegories. Reddit boards and Twitter threads alike have bustled with feverish fan discussion following each tantalizing episode. Notably, "American Horror Story: NYC" also returns the series to realism with its gruesomely true narrative. The NYPD's finest mishandle the case and fall prey to bigotry, leading to countless more senseless deaths. Haunting parallels to Jeffrey Dahmer's unsettling killings soon emerge. And then, of course, there's the season's wider allegory of the AIDS epidemic. It all culminates in an arresting assortment of horrifying moments. These are the 12 most disturbing — if you've got the guts to revisit them.
