The second episode of “American Horror Story: 1984” showed the backstory of real-life serial killer Richard Ramirez, also known as the Night Stalker — and the FX show got his childhood down to a T.
Ramirez, dubbed the Night Stalker, terrorized Los Angeles in the ’80s and was convicted of 13 counts of murder in 1989. Zach Villa portrays him in the FX show.
In the second episode, Ramirez meets Leslie Grossman’s Margaret Booth, who is the owner of Camp Redwood, where Ramirez has followed Emma Roberts’ Brooke Thompson. He’s injured, so Booth tends to his wounds while listening to his backstory.
