"Devil's Night" is the fourth episode of the fifth season of the anthology television series American Horror Story. It aired on October 28, 2015 on the cable network FX. This episode was written by Jennifer Salt and directed by Loni Peristere.
Richard Ramirez (Anthony Ruivivar), who died in 2013, checks in for the Devil's Night. Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) leads him to his room, where a married couple is sleeping. After killing the husband, the wife runs screaming from the room, where she encounters James March (Evan Peters). She screams for help as he holds and kills her.
John Lowe (Wes Bentley) answers a phone call from Scarlett (Shree Crooks). During the call, he notices his ceiling and wall are bleeding. Miss Evers (Mare Winningham) is having trouble getting out a difficult bloodstain as well. Every Halloween, she is reminded of her son, who was kidnapped in 1925. John arrives to question the blood coming from her room, and they talk as she explains that her son was taken to a ranch outside town, and all they found was the costume. His kidnapper had taken and killed many children and disposed of their bodies with quick lime and set them in a mass grave. After the recounting, her mood upswings as she blathers on about preparations for the festivities. Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevigny) has brought Holden (Lennon Henry) home, but the family dog rejects him. As she returns with a glass of juice for Holden, she finds him feeding on the dog's neck. He does not feel well, and wants his "other mommy".
Alex returns with Holden to the Hotel, and the boy scampers to his coffin. Elizabeth (Lady Gaga) appears and explains that she saves children from neglect and speaks about John as she walked Holden away from the carousel herself. She goes on to explain the viral infection. An aggravated Alex holds her at gunpoint, wanting a cure, but Elizabeth wants loyalty in exchange for passing on the virus to her. John discovers the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders that Evers mentioned took place 85 years prior. He heads to the hotel's bar to drink a double martini. Aileen Wuornos (Lily Rabe) enters for her 13th Devil's Night, and John recognizes her as Halloween costume. Liz mentions that John is a special guest of the hotel and a cop; Aileen offers him sex, and they go to his room.
