Is Jessica Lange Confirmed To Butcher The Competition On 'American Horror Story?'
Well what a week of American Horror Story that was – the big twist may as well have torn our heads right off, but the tone was certainly set for the "real" season of the show to begin. We had Sarah Paulson and her dodgy British accent, Kathy Bates sporting her American Realtor Realness haircut, and a whole lot of trouble heading back to the Roanoke house. In the words of Geoffrey Rush in House on Haunted Hill – "sure is a funky old house, ain't it?"

For Peters's Sake: Have We Seen The Last Of Evan Peters (Again) On 'American Horror Story?'
Well, Ryan Murphy definitely promised us a twist for the sixth episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke, but I don't think anyone was prepared for that whopper. While we're still in mourning over the loss of Evan Peters's Edward Philippe Mott from Episode 5, things looked promising when it was confirmed that Peters would be back in a different role. With a truly shocking week, did things fair any better this time round on the Roanoke ranch?

The Six-ening Theory Of 'American Horror Story: Roanoke'
If the past five seasons of Ryan Murphy's horror anthology have taught us anything, it is that nothing happens by coincidence. American Horror Story: Roanoke will reportedly tie into all that has come before it more than ever. It is easy to spot the similarities of pig men and witches; but, does the number six have a lot more to do with the sixth season of the show than we first thought? Get ready, things are about to get "six-ening."

Porky Pies: Is Evan Peters Piggy Man On 'American Horror Story: Roanoke'?
Four weeks, that's 40,320; that's how many Evan Peters-less minutes we have had to endure since American Horror Story: Roanoke first graced our screens. Like a game of Where's Waldo, everyone is asking, "Where's Evan?". What if the Horror Story veteran has been hiding in plain sight all along? We know that Peters isn't adverse to hiding his face for the show — featuring a Season 1's Rubber Man — and now the latest theory is that Mr. Peters is this season's meaty menace "Piggy Man."

Another week, another mystery, as American Horror Story: Roanoke's "Chapter 3" leaves us scratching our heads more than usual. We delved deeper into the past with Kathy Bates, and her backstory as The Butcherer, whilst we were simultaneously thrown another curveball in the present with the mockumentary-style shooting. With people still screaming "Where is Evan Peters?" at their television screens, did we accidentally miss another returning alumni this week? Theories suggest a sneaky cameo from Cheyenne Jackson could be about to shake up the Roanoke timelines — so did you spot him?

Leaving behind murder houses, witches, and TripAdvisor's worst nightmare of hotel hell, it is time to revisit FX's Horror Anthology.
