Background[]
In 1978, the twins ignore young Adelaide Langdon's warning ("You're gonna die in there.") and break into the Murder House, which is now abandoned. Troy and Bryan proceed to demolish the house, and finally enter the basement, where they find wet specimen jars with body parts, which scare the twins. They attempt to leave but are murdered by the Infantata before they get to escape.
They appear to have maintained a friendship with Adelaide as she sees them numerous times as ghosts.
Personality and Appearance[]
They are identical, tall and lanky boys with pasty skin, freckles and red hair. They both have braces. Both wear identical shirts, but Troy's shirt is red striped while Bryan's shirt is green striped. They also wear high-waist blue jeans and braces. Their voices slur slightly when talking, this is very likely due to their braces. They have flashlights in their back-pockets and are swinging baseball bats. Bryan is seen playing with bang snaps. They appear to have been troublesome neighborhood kids, as they were vandalizing the abandoned Murder House at the time of their deaths.
Story[]
American Horror Story[]
The boys are introduced and killed by the Infantata in the opening sequence. They are later seen (by the audience) playing with Adelaide in the kitchen (opening all the cabinets), as well as emerging from behind Vivien, though it is clear Vivien did not see them.[1]
They were throwing eggs at Ben.[2]
They are seen returning to the house with the other ghosts after their free Halloween's night.[3]
They are the first ghosts among the multitude that appear to Violet, and are running through the basement.[4]
When Vivien goes into labor, they are seen destroying Ben's car to prevent him from taking Vivien to the hospital. They may have also been the ones to disrupt the phone lines to prevent Ben from calling for medical assistance. Ben finally notices the bad scars and slashes on their bodies, which startles him, but he is then pulled away by Constance to go to Vivien before he can confront them.[5]
When the Ramos family comes to view the house after the Harmons passed, Troy and Bryan mess with their son Gabe by pushing him off of his skateboard and throwing their bang snaps.[6]
American Horror Stories[]
They suddenly appeared in front of Maya, Erin, Rowena and Nicole to scare them.[7]
They later appear outside to Michelle who rents the house on Halloween, whom she mistakens as trick or treaters dressed in costumes.
