Evan Peters Dressed Up as a Ton of Cult Leaders on AHS, and It Was Deeply Unsettling

With his long curly hair and big glasses, Peters looks nearly identical to the real-life David Koresh. The man led an extremist religious group called the Branch Davidians in a compound in Waco, TX, which was eventually raided by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms in 1993 on suspicions of polygamy, child sexual abuse, and illegal weapons violations.

The standoff between the cult and law enforcement lasted for a staggering 51 days with casualties on both sides, ending with a massive fire, and at least 20 Branch Davidians were shot (including children). Koresh is believed to have been shot by his right-hand man Steve Schneider, who "probably realized he was dealing with a fraud."
