Bullseye (American Horror Story)

Bullseye, in the context of American Horror Story: Freak Show (Season 4), is a recurring game of skill and chance played at Elsa Mars' Cabinet of Curiosities. It involves throwing darts at a rotating wheel featuring photographs of the performers.

The game's significance extends beyond mere entertainment. It serves as a metaphor for the performers' precarious lives and the unpredictable nature of their existence within the freak show. Participants wager money, and the winner receives the pot. The game is used for both entertainment and as a means of settling disputes or distributing small amounts of income within the group.

Furthermore, "Bullseye" often reveals tensions and underlying power dynamics within the Cabinet of Curiosities. It can highlight the performers' vulnerability, as their faces are literally targets, and emphasizes the element of chance that governs their lives under Elsa's management. The game's outcomes can influence relationships and fuel rivalries among the performers.
