Points of Interest[]
- 307 Gardner Road
- 307 Gardner Road was the residence of the Form family, which consisted of medical resident John Form, his wife Mia Form and their newborn baby. Mia was a collector of dolls, so John helped to improve her collection by purchasing an old hand-crafted porcelain doll named "Annabelle". In October, 1967, a woman named Annabelle Higgins and her boyfriend, who were members of a Satanic cult known as the Disciples of the Ram broke into 307 Gardner Road with the intent of killing its occupants. The male cultist stabbed Mia, but she survived. Police arrived on the scene in time to shoot the cultist dead. Annabelle Higgins found the Annabelle doll in the nursery. She took her own life by slitting her throat. Her blood dripped into the eye of the doll, rejuvenating the evil within. (Annabelle)
- Santa Monica Airport
- The Santa Monica Municipal Airport is a general airport located in Santa Monica, California about six miles north of Los Angeles International Airport and about two miles east of the Pacific Ocean. In American Horror Story, Los Angeles was devastated by nuclear ICBM missiles. A group of survivors consisting of social media celebrity Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt, her personal assistant Mallory, her hair-stylist Mister Gallant, and Gallant's aging starlet grandmother Evie Gallant, managed to escape the devastation by taking a private plane from Santa Monica Airport. Coco's lover, Brock, was supposed to meet them at the airport, but he got caught up in traffic trying to exit the city. Coco telephoned him to inform Brock that she was cutting him loose. As the plane left the Santa Monica Airport, Brock looked up and saw it flying across the sky and screamed at it "You bitch!" (American Horror Story: The End)
