American Horror Story, Ten Commandment Killer's "Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols" Trophy

original movie prop

Centered on the mysterious Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, California, that catches the eye of an intrepid homicide detective (Bentley). The Cortez is host to many disturbing scenarios and paranormal events, and is overseen by its enigmatic matron, The Countess (Gaga), who is a bloodsucking fashionista. The hotel is loosely based on an actual hotel built in 1893 by H. H. Holmes in Chicago, Il. for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It became known as the 'Murder Castle' as it was built for Holmes to torture, murder, and dispose of evidence just as is the Cortez. From the 2015 season American Horror Story: Hotel, this is Ten Commandment Killer's "Thou Shalt Not Worship False Idols" trophy with it’s glass globe. Martin Gamboa was a film fanatic with a carefully curated collection of movie memorabilia. He was guilty of idolatry; a bit of a stretch, sure, but no one really worships idols anymore. And Gamboa had other sins. Far worse ones. John Lowe caved in Gamboa's skull with the golden statue and took his brain for the hidden trophy chamber inside the Cortez.
