Seth Gabel is back as Jeffrey Dahmer — and this time, he’s dining with the devil. Not literally. But close enough. The sixth episode of American Horror Story: 13, titled ‘The Return of Devil’s Night,’ dropped its most explosive twist yet: a full-blown crossover massacre where Dahmer, Richard Ramirez, and The Zodiac Killer are summoned once more by James Patrick March (Evan Peters) to invade the Coven witches’ sanctuary. Cordelia Goode (Sarah Paulson) goes down hard, axe to the skull. And the serial killer dinner party is now a war zone. The cliffhanger? It’s just getting started. According to Gabel, the seventh episode will be ‘explosive.’ No details. Just that. Explosive. He’s not even sure what happens next. But he knows one thing: Ryan Murphy told him two words that changed everything. ‘Poor Jeffrey.’ That’s all it took. Suddenly, the satire clicked. The horror wasn’t in the violence. It was in the delusion. Dahmer, in Gabel’s version, isn’t a monster. He’s a man who thinks the world owes him pity. And that’s the joke. The irony. The tragedy. The comedy. It’s why the scene works. It’s why the show still matters. Gabel returned to the role after playing Dahmer in the original Hotel season’s infamous ‘Devil’s Night’ episode, a moment so iconic it’s been rewatched, dissected, and meme’d for years. Now, he’s back. With Peters. Who played Dahmer in The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Two actors. One killer. A meta-crossover so layered it feels like a fever dream. They didn’t swap notes. Didn’t share tips. “No,” Gabel said. “We didn’t.” But they did share a stage. And a script. And a mutual understanding: this isn’t about realism. It’s about myth. About how stories evolve. How trauma gets repackaged. How monsters become characters. And how a man who killed 17 people can be funny on screen. Gabel says he didn’t need to re-research Dahmer this time. “I just went on the ride.” The Midwestern drawl came back. The posture. The voice. Like riding a bike. But the real magic? Murphy’s two words. ‘Poor Jeffrey.’ That’s the key. Not the facts. Not the body count. The feeling. The self-pity. That’s the satire. That’s the punchline. That’s the horror. The episode aired Thursday morning. Fans are already arguing. Is this a tribute? A parody? A reckoning? Or just another week of Ryan Murphy chaos? The answer might be all of them. The next episode drops Friday. The countdown begins.
