The Zodiac Killer appears in the anthology series American Horror Story. In the Hotel episode “Devil’s Night,” he is depicted as a masked ghost attending James Patrick March’s serial-killer party, apologizing for lateness due to “writing some letters.” In American Horror Story: Cult, the show advances a fictional premise that the Zodiac was tied to Valerie Solanas’ SCUM circle and that the “Zodiac Killer” persona was coined by a member who took credit for the murders and sent the cryptic letters. These are fictional dramatizations, not factual claims about the case.
