Murder House: Vivien Eats Brain

The entire first season is set around the ‘murder house’ that the Harmon family moves into. They move to Los Angeles after Ben has an affair with a student of his and Vivien loses their child in a miscarriage.

So when Vivien discovers that she is pregnant once more (not knowing that it is not Ben’s child), she does everything in her power to make sure the baby is safe. And sometimes that includes eating a bowl of raw brains.

Now, she’s depicted as being desperate to do whatever necessary for her child and it’s also while she’s confused from living in the house for so long but still. It’s weird as all hell. She literally eats a garnished brain.

In one of the creepier moments of American Horror Story, they show it and it is utterly disgusting. Her housekeeper Moira (who is Frances Conroy for Vivien which is important because Ben sees a Young Moira played by Alexandra Breckenridge) tells her that this is a way she can save her baby and make sure it’s healthy.

All of the murderous ghosts in the house are in cahoots together to bring on the end of times with this anti-Christ baby but still, it’s terrifying watching a woman eat a brain.
