'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' episode 'Traitor' pays tribute to Joan Collins by recreating 'Tales from the Crypt' scene
During the shooting of the scene, Murphy used small elements to pay homage to Collins' original role, for example, he used the exact same kind of telephone.
The recent episode of FX's 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' titled 'Traitor' featured the return of Joan Collins as her second character this season - Bubbles McGee, an actor and a witch. Collins previously appeared this very season as Evie Gallant, Mr. Gallant's (Evan Peters) grandmother, who was "accidentally" killed by him.
In the episode 'Traitor', actor McGee is introduced to us while she is filming a movie, which was difficult to understand at first. The most interesting thing that struck fans was the scene she was shooting. McGee is shooting for a film titled 'A Christmas to Dismember' in the episode, and this served as show creator Ryan Murphy's tribute to Collins.
