You see, my name isn't Morgan. It's Thredson. I'm the son of Bloody Face.
~ Johnny revealing his true self while on his therapy session with Dr. Gardner.

John "Johnny" Morgan is a major antagonist in the second season American Horror Story: Asylum.

He is the son of Lana Winters and Dr. Oliver Thredson, and the successor of the original Bloody Face, who seeks revenge against his mother for abandoning him since he was born.

He was portrayed by Dylan McDermott, who also played John Stark in The Cowboy Way, Tim Wattley in The Campaign, Richard Wheatley in Law & Order: Organized Crime, and Bruce in a later AHS season, 1984.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Johnny is the product of rape - his father, Dr. Oliver Thredson, a serial killer known as "Bloody Face", kidnapped and raped Lana Winters, and impregnated her. Lana gave Johnny up for adoption the day he was born, and he grew up in a series of abusive foster homes. Lana came to see him only once, and did not tell him who she was.

Like his father, Johnny grew up deprived of love and maternal connection, and eventually evolved into a sociopath. He began torturing animals as a child, and as an adult went to prison for armed robbery. He also frequently patronized prostitutes, preferring ones who were pregnant or had just given birth so he could drink their breast milk while they had sex. Johnny believed (incorrectly) that his mother had never breastfed him, and so performed the ritual in an attempt to feel the love and safety that he was denied as a child.

He discovered his origins on the Internet; he found an audiotape on eBay of Thredsen confessing to his crimes and Lana threatening to abort his baby. He grew to hate his mother for killing his father and abandoning him, and also suffered hallucinations of his mother telling him she hated him. Upon discovering who his parents were, Johnny was inspired to carry on his father's "legacy". He began skinning prostitutes alive before murdering them, using them as surrogates for the real target of his rage: his mother.

American Horror Story: Asylum[]

Johnny begins stalking Lana, who by now has become a world-famous journalist, and killing as many women as he can on the way. He explains his history and pathology to one of his victims, a hypnotherapist named Dr. Gardner, who thought he was coming to her to quit smoking, before skinning and killing her. Johnny finally decides to kill his mother, and infiltrates her talk show by killing a crew member and taking his place.

Lana senses Johnny's presence, and knows instinctively who he is. She tells him to "just get it over with", so he puts a gun to her head and accuses her of killing the one person who loved him, his father. When Lana tells Johnny that neither she nor Thredsen loved him, he flies into a rage, but he is ultimately forced to face the reality that his father was a monster. He breaks down crying in Lana's arms, and she comforts him while surreptitiously taking his gun. She then tells him that his pathology is not his fault, but hers, and shoots him dead to put him out of his misery.
