Songfacts®:

  • This song was inspired by a character from the FX horror television series, American Horror Story. Vocalist Tyler Carter told Kerrang: "This is about sociopaths and other psychological complexities. I called it the Langdon House because of Tate Langdon from American Horror Story being a related character to my vision behind the song."

    The Langdon House is in American Horror Story season one episode, "Murder House." In the show Tate Langdon is a sociopathic ghost who resides in the Murder House. After being killed by a SWAT team for committing a mass shooting at his high school, he wants nothing more to be loved but still has troubles fitting in.
