Television: American Horror Story: Asylum


A serial killer known as "Bloodyface". They most likely assume he is the killer for unknown reasons, but it could be because of the disappearance of his ethnic wife.

He is sent to Briarcliff Manor, an institution for the criminally insane. He is to be evaluated, and see if he is fit for trail. While under their medical supervision, he is examined by Dr. Arthur Arden.
The Doctor discovers a cyst on Kits neck, and will performing a biopsy he discover some type of advance robot microchip. There are flashbacks that indicate this is an implant that the aliens put in Kit. During his time there Kit sticks to his statements about the Alien Abduction and what happened to his wife.

While at the Asylum he befriends a fellow inmate, Grace. He develops a sexual relationship with her and they become very close. They plan an escape together, but unfortunately things do not go out as planned. A storm that hits the area conceals the UFO. Many of the asylum inmates seem to know of its presence. During this time Dr. Arden has figured out that some type of alien is involved. The church's administrator, Sister Jude encounters one of the Aliens in the Asylum and black outs.

As the story goes on, Grace if found out to be pregnant. Sister Jude and Dr. Arden believe that an abortion should take place. Yet before this happens, Grace is abducted by Aliens and suffers from a botched abdominal surgery. Dr. Arden tries to save her, but in the end she dies. As he attempts to dispose of the body. The Aliens come back and take Grace away. Dr. Arden figures out that Kit is important, and at a later date he bring Kit to a near death-like state in an attempt to get the aliens to show up. They do come and they bring back a pregnant Grace, and in addition they choose one inmate "Pepper" and modify her to be the Grace's Guardian. While Dr. Arden attempts to experiment on Grace, he is prevented by Pepper who explains her increased intelligence and the aliens plans for Grace. She also makes Dr. Arden aware that the Aliens consider his experiments a bad joke.

Later Kit and Grace manage to escape Braiarcliff and return home to raise their child. Upon arrival they find Kit's wife, Alma, their with child. They live together in a polygamous relationship, raising the children. Grace become obsessed with the abduction, and believes the children are Starseeds. She hopes the alien will comeback. Alma is traumatized and doesn't want anything to do with the aliens. Sadly Grace's obsession brings the anger out of Alma... who believe Grace is a threat and kills her with an ax. All because Alma believes Grace might call them back. Kit ironically end ups committing Alma to Braiarcliff Asylum where she dies a few years later. While there, he encounter a committed sister Jude. He develops a friendship with her and bring her home to care for her. One day she cracks under his care. while attempting to calm her down his children, Thomas and Julia, take her hand and lead her off into the woods. She returns more mentally balanced. For sixth months she is happy but then dies. The only indication of what her death might have been caused by was a nose-bleed.

Around the 1990's Kit suffers from pancreatic cancer. Before he passes away the Aliens come and abduct. He just simply disappears and no one knows what had happened. His children live on to have successful lives, Thomas becomes a Law Professor and Julia ends up being a neurosurgeon.


The aliens themselves appear to a type of grey. They stand anywhere from 6 to 10 feet tall. They are thin with bulbous heads, they have human like eyes, but have a vertical slit which seems to be both a mouth and nasal cavity. They also have six limbs. A pair of smaller arms along the lower torso. They have very long hands and fingers. They have the ability to pop in and out of space, and are accompanied by brights lights and static electricity. Kit by all accounts is a generational abductee, many of his behaviors indicate that he has been abducted many times before. Likewise the characters, Kit and Alma are inspired by Betty and Barney Hill.

The series American Horror Story: Asylum ran for 12 episodes and is a Season 2 original story that debuted October 2013.
