Through killing, psychological abuses, or disabled bodies, the main protagonists seem to be branded by their disability. This makes it hard for the disabled actors who portray these characters to be accepted and treated equal when it comes to movies, especially horror movies.This paper focuses on the development of the use of disabilities in the show "American Horror Story" to analyze if this show sets a new example on how to present and integrate disabilities into the narrative of the horror genre.
