AHS Season 5 Theory

So I’m kinda set on this idea, (as mentioned in a previous post), so here goes;

1) The Top Hat on the coffee cup handed to Maggie; the Mad Hatter.

2) The mention and use of Opium throughout the first few episodes; During the era in which Alice in Wonderland was created, the use of Opium was legalised and drugs are claimed to be the influence for the story.

3) Twisty’s smile… Reminds you of a particular cat, doesn’t it?

4) Elsa leading Penny to the Freak show by drugging her; almost reminiscent of the Rabbit leading Alice down the rabbit hole.

5) In Dandy’s room, he has a croquet set down the the centre; The Queen of Hearts is playing croquet before shouting “Off with her head!” At Alice

6) There have now been two references to the phrase, “Cat got your tongue?”; whilst in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat often speaks to alice in riddles, leaving her confused, speechless and unable to answer him back.

7) Alice says, “there’s no use going back to yesterday, because I wasn’t myself then”; Elsa Mars says how she “was no longer Elsa”

8) Dot and Bette; Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee

9) “Fräulein Elsa’s Cabinet of Curiosities”; Alice has the line of, “curiouser and curiouser…”

10) At Dandy’s house on Halloween, there are various ravens seen dotted around but then again, why is a Raven like a writing desk?

11) Meep ripping off chickens heads; “off with their heads!”

Aaaannddd, if we’re rolling with this whole “connection” between the seasons thing… Here’s a few from Coven… Although I’m not entirely sure Ryan had it figured out that early.

6) “Those girls couldn’t pull rabbit out of a hat”; the white rabbit perhaps?

7) Fiona places white roses in Cordelia’s room; The Queen of Hearts despises white roses.

So it might not be specifically ‘Alice in Wonderland’, but this might be a significant factor, maybe something like “childhood stories”?
