Well, it looks like Mr. Jingles's son Bobby is all grown up in American Horror Story: 1984, and he's played by none other than mainstay Ahs hunk Finn Wittrock. Anyone who's watched the anthology series knows that like Jessica Lange and Lily Rabe, Wittrock is a recurring player in Ryan Murphy's showcase of actors. He first appeared as Twisty the Clown's spoiled apprentice Dandy Mott on Freak Show, then pulled double duty as Rudolph Valentino and model Tristan Duffy in Hotel. Cult's Jether Polk marked his latest appearance on American Horror Story, where he was unrecognizable with shaggy hair and messed up teeth. Like John Carroll Lynch, his onscreen father this season, Wittrock is back, even if only in the finale.
Wittrock pops up as adult Bobby Richter, the son of Mr. Jingles and a former prostitute in Alaska. When we last see Bobby, Mr. Jingles had left him with his aunt.

This American Horror Story review contains spoilers.
American Horror Story 1984 Episode 9
Forgiveness is a beautiful thing, and while it's taken decades, it seems that the ghosts trapped in Camp Redwood have come to a sort-of understanding, putting aside past differences over petty things like who killed who with what object. The gang trapped at a crumbling summer camp for eternity have unified behind one simple premise: killing Richard Ramirez over and over and over again to keep him from killing Bobby Richter. Surely there are other things, like sex, to bring them all together, but mostly it seems like the ghosts are united by making sure one good thing comes out of the whole debacle. Everyone, no matter how long they've been dead, needs something to live for.

Spoiler Alert: This recap contains major reveals from tonight’s American Horror Story season 9 finale “Ahs 1984: Final Girl”
Tonight’s season 9 finale of Ahs 1984 didn’t end like your run-of-the-mill ’80s slasher movie. There was no protag looking over their shoulder, worried the killer was still out there. There wasn’t a bad dream that the slayer was still alive. Instead, we end on syrupy note, literally Mike + the Mechanics’ Living Years, as we see the son of the father, completely cleaned of papa’s sins. And Billy Idol is a no-show, at least on the show which has served up singers playing themselves in the past, i.e. Stevie Nicks in Ahs: Coven.
In Final Girl, written by Crystal Liu and directed by John Gray, we meet Bobby Richter, played by Ahs troupe member Finn Wittrock. But instead of Wittrock playing a loose cannon, clown-obsessed rich brat like...

American Horror Story: 1984 reached its bloody conclusion on Wednesday with a massive time jump, a few oddly romantic twists and some well-deserved (not to mention thoroughly disgusting) justice.
First things first: That fan theory about Finn Wittrock playing a grown-up version of Jingles’ son was 100-percent correct. The finale began by jumping ahead to 2019, where Bobby Richter arrived at Camp Redwood — what was left of it, anyway — in search of answers about his father. As Montana explained, she hadn’t seen any newcomers since “that s–t show in ’89,” presumably referring to Margaret’s food and wine (and murder!) festival.

One of American Horror Story: 1984's biggest twists is that Mr. Jingles isn't all that bad of a guy. It turned out that it was actually Margaret and his mother who framed him for the 1970 murders. Trying to put his sinister past behind him, he settles down in Alaska with a new family, including his new son, whom he names Bobby after his late brother. But the poor guy can't catch a break from Camp Redwood. When he finds his wife dead, Mr. Jingles leaves Bobby with his sister-in-law, returning to the camp to face his (literal) ghosts. The big question is, what will happen to Bobby? Here's why we're sure we're going to see Mr. Jingles's son again at the end of Ahs: 1984.
Bobby Richter first appears on screen as a baby in the late '80s. Granted that the Night Stalker doesn't kill him, we're convinced we'll see...
