The True Stories Behind 21 American Horror Story Characters

Wes Bentley appears in the two-part Halloween episode of Freak Show as Edward Mordrake, a man with an evil face on the back of his head. Mordrake was a real person who lived in the 1800s. According to books, he had an unusual deformity: a small face on the back of his head. Mordrake committed suicide at 23, and unlike on the show, he probably doesn't go around to freak shows on Halloween, killing its performers.
