    Nice nod to Season 1 in Season 5...

    I noticed in the Devil's Night episode, Richard Ramirez checks in and when he does he signs beneath the name "Danielle Levesque." Hadn't heard of that name as another serial killer, so did a bit of research and as it turns out, in Season 1, a character named Danielle Levesque was part of the Westfield High shooting that Tate took part in in Season 1. She was one of the victims.

    In American Horror Story: Asylum, the woman about to give Lana an abortion calls her Jane. Jane was the name of an illegal abortion-providing group in the mid 1960s - early 1970s, and Jane was their "everyday woman" name to keep the providers anonymous.

    In Freakshow (Episode 2), you can see Mr. Hanley's severed head as soon as the coffee boy enters his shop. It's not that noticeable the first time around.
