Rank It: American Horror Story
11. Roanoke
So boring and confusing to follow. It’s bearable only by the redneck family scenes because it was the most realistic portion.
10. NYC
A combination of 1984 mixed with Hotel. Very gory, but nothing special. Definitely better than Roanoke.
9. 1984
The Matthew Morrison feature was scary, to say the least. This season was redeemable solely for the 80s vibes.
8. Double Feature
The first six episodes were a flop and a half. It was significantly more interesting when they worked in the historical portions of the U.S. government in the second half.
7. Apocalypse
Only ranked high because of its inter-season connection. The reveal of who was in charge of the bunkers was insane.
6. Freak Show
I cannot eat while watching this season for whatever reason. It was disappointing that the clown was so overhyped in the previews but barely touched on.
5. Cult
PLOT TWISTS. Scarily realistic and also the origin of the Sarah Paulson Scream.
4. Asylum
Home to one of the best plot twists in AHS history, but other than that it was painfully boring (minus all the Evan Peters screen time in it.)
3. Coven
Another round of a Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters’ love story. The literal definition of 2013 vibes.
2. Murder House
There’s something about a pregnant lady eating brains and a mutant cannibal baby named Thaddeus living in the basement that makes this the ultimate Halloween season. Also Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters as a couple.
1. Hotel
Lady. Gaga. This was the first season that had MULTIPLE twists that I did not see coming.
