American Horror Story: The Maid’s Contrasting Ages Hides a Powerful Message

When American Horror Story premiered with Murder House, it put a huge twist on the traditional haunted house story. The series took the typical scares and drama that come with the subgenre and added new rules surrounding the ghosts involved. Some of these changes include the spirits physically interacting with the humans and how dying on a particular property guarantees a person’s spirit will remain on the premises. In addition, the house’s maid, Moira, had her own ability that not only changed her appearance but also revealed a person’s true nature.On American Horror Story, Moira O’Hara was the Langdon family’s maid while they lived in the house in the ’80s. During her time in the house, she felt lonely and had an affair with Constance’s husband. But when she tried to call it off with him, he assaulted her. Seeing this, Constance killed her husband and Moira by shooting her in the eye. Moira remained in the house as a spirit but seemingly aged with it rather than remaining as she looked in the ’80s. While she had the appearance of an older woman during the ’70s-inspired Murder House, those that objectified her, such as Ben Harmon, saw Moira as the attractive young woman she was before she died.Two actors play Moira in American Horror Story. Series staple Frances Conroy plays the aged-up version of the character, older than the living Moira ever got to be. Alexandra Breckenridge plays the living version of Moira, as well as the version of the ghost she shows to men who see women as objects. She worked for Hugo and Constance Langdon, owners of the Murder House and the family from which Apocalypse’s Antichrist comes from, for some years before 1983. During her time working in the house, she said she “felt lonely” one night, leading to an intimate encounter with Hugo behind Constance’s back. The next time he makes an advance, she rejects him, saying what they did was wrong. He forces himself on her, leading to Constance catching them. Once Constance died and became a ghost, she continued to torture Moira.
