"American Horror Story: Hotel" is becoming more and more interesting since its Oct. 7 premiere, as the "Ten Commandments" killer showed up and left fans wondering about his or her real identity.
In the recent episode of FX's "American Horror Story: Hotel" aired last Nov. 18, John Lowe (Wes Bentley) meets Wren (Jessica Belkin), a vampire child who is probably connected to the "Ten Commandments" killer. The vampire child, who confessed that she had helped the killer escape from a cop, led John to the Ten Commandments Killer's house then jumped in front of a bus. This left a lot of viewers speculating on who the "Ten Commandment Killer" truly is.
"AHS: Hotel" fan BocoCHutternut posted a persuading theory in Reddit that made other fans look forward to the next airing date of the season. The said fan first talked about Liz Taylor (Nick Prior). Liz is The Hotel Cortez' bartender with a complicated past. She left her family to become the woman she believed she was. A flashback scene with her son drawing her a picture of a plane was shown where, instead of expressing appreciation, she pointed out everything that was wrong with the drawing.
After that backstory, Liz never left the Cortez. Since then, her son might have kept resentment towards her. "He could have tried anything to fill the void that the absence of his father caused... And religion, especially in a midwestern city like Topeka, was probably his answer," BocoCHutternut stated.
The backstory occurred in 1984 which means Liz's son would be 39-41 years old by 2015, if the son was about 6-8 years old at that time. BocoCHutternut then theorized that Liz's son could be part of the Ten Commandments after calculating the years in Liz's backstory. What's more fascinating is the user's theory about Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson) being the "Ten Commandments Killer" and also Liz's all grown up son.
Another user SevensAddams's idea is that Drake bought Hotel Cortez because of its history and follow James March's (Evan Peters) path.
BocoCHutternut linked AmericanDragStory's comment, another user in Reddit. "[Drake] had a blueprint of the hotel a few episodes back. But he wanted to hide it when Tristan [Finn Wittrock] walked in," the user posted.
The fact that Drake is the only major character that has no background story strengthens the speculations of BocoCHutternut about being the killer. The only thing the viewers know about Drake is that he has a son named Lachlan (Lyric Lennon) and likes men and The Countess (Lady Gaga). Drake is also a fashion designer and the now owner of the hotel.
