Are These AHS Characters Alive Or Dead?

For each new season of American Horror Story, there is a fresh set of characters (apart from a few that make appearances in more than one season), a different location, and an original storyline. This makes AHS quite unusual in the world of TV series as it's usually the characters that tie the seasons of a series together. It's an anthology mini-series and judging by the number of fans the show has attracted since it premiered in 2011, people just can't seem to get enough of this smart, edgy horror show.

The show, which is currently airing its seventh season, has been renewed for both an eighth and a ninth season so if you're a fan there's no reason to fear that you'll soon have to find a way to live without AHS. And they don't seem to be running out of ideas just yet either. The creators have teased fans saying that there will be a big reveal at the end of the show, a link which shows how they were all tied together. But just what that could entail is anyone's guess.

Are you the ultimate AHS fan? Do you know every quote, clue, scene, and character from the show? Prove it by telling us which of these characters is still alive and which ones met a grisly end...

Question 1

Violet Harmon

Violet Harmon was easily one of the most popular characters from the very first season of American Horror Story. We loved her because she was brave and edgy, and of course, because she was involved with Tate Langdon, another of Murder House's best-loved characters. But just like her parents, Violet was troubled, and living in a house packed to the rafters with ghosts didn't help much. Do you remember what happened to her? Did she survive or succumb to the Murder House?

Question 2

Cordelia Foxx

Coven was one of the most popular seasons of American Horror Story and at the center of all the action was Cordelia Foxx - the headmistress of Miss Robichaux's Academy and the daughter of the aging Supreme witch Fiona Goode. During the season she needed to overcome many obstacles, from not being able to conceive to being blinded but we think it all paid off in the end. It turned out that Cordelia was more powerful than she ever imagined, so what was her fate?

Question 3

Maggie Esmeralda

When Maggie met Stanley she was a young girl living on the streets and stealing to survive. Stanley took her under his wing, but he was a conman himself, so although he didn't take advantage of her, he trained her to be his partner in crime. So although she was fraudster herself, you almost felt sorry for her because she was actually a kind-hearted person. What happened to Maggie Esmeralda? Did she make her fortune or meet a terrible end?

Question 4

Dell Toledo

Dell Toledo was a piece of work. His backstory was that he was married to Ethel, the Bearded Lady, and that when she gave birth to Jimmy he sold tickets for people to come and watch the "freak birth". When we catch up with him in Freak Show he's having a relationship with Desiree Dupree and trying to take control of Elsa's show. He was a mean-tempered character who couldn't bear to see anyone else happy. What happened to Dell in the end?

Question 5

Lee Harris

Lee Harris from AHS: Roanoke was one of those characters that we couldn't decide if we loved or hated. In some ways she seemed to be a bad mother; her first child went missing and she put her daughter Flora in mortal danger by taking her when she wasn't supposed to. And we all know how that ended. But she really did love Flora and ended up making a huge sacrifice for her. What happened to Lee Harris - is she alive or dead?

Question 6

Mama Polk

Mama Polk and her family had an agreement with the Butcher, which allowed them to stay on their land providing they supply the Lost Colony with fresh victims. She was a cruel woman who dominated her family and may have even had forbidden relationships with them. She and her family also had a taste for human flesh, something that the occupants of the Roanoke house found out the hard way when she kidnapped a few of them. What became of her?

Question 7

Monet Tumusiime

In Roanoke Angela Bassett played the role of Monet Tumusiime; the actress hired to play Lee Harris in My Roanoke Nightmare. Not that much about her backstory is known apart from the fact that she was sober before the show started filming but then started drinking heavily. She is skeptical of Matt and Shelby's story and although her drinking interferes with her behaviuror she does try to help the others when things start to go wrong. Is Monet alive or dead?

Question 8

Constance Langdon

Long before the Harmons moved into the infamous Murder House Constance Langdon and her family lived there. Constance murdered her husband after she found him in bed with the maid Moira - who she also killed. Without her husband's income she could no longer keep up with the mortgage and the bank took back the house and Constance ended up living next door, still very involved with what was happening there. What was the fate of this terrible mother figure?

Question 9

Sidney Aaron James

Was there ever a character that we loved to hate as much as the producer of My Roanoke Nightmare, Sidney James? He didn't care about anyone except himself and he was only telling the Roanoke story in order to make himself famous. Even when his show is a big hit, it's still not enough for this greedy character who just wants more. He brings back all the players in a last-ditch attempt to capture something exciting on film but he got more than he bargained for.

Question 10

Agnes Mary Winstead

Aging actress Agnes Winstead was all but forgotten when she landed the role of The Butcher on My Roanoke Nightmare - a role which helped make her famous again. But Agnes took her part seriously - way too seriously - to the point where it completely consumed her mind. After attacking people on the street and being diagnosed with a mental disorder, Sidney and the other players want nothing more to do with her. Do you remember what happened to Agnes in the end?

Question 11

Queenie

Queenie was one of the teenage witches living at Miss Robichaux's Academy. Her supernatual power was that she could inflict pain on other people by hurting herself - almost like a human voodoo doll. She would remain unhurt while the other person recieved her injuries. She grew up in foster care and after being fired from her fast food job for hurting a customer (even though there was no proof) she's discovered by Cordelia Foxx and brought to the school.

Question 12

Bette and Dot Tattler

Bette and Dot may have shared a body and even a heart but they were very different people with opposing ideas about how they should live their lives. After killing their mother in a fit of rage they find themselves as the headliner at Elsa's show, a place where they are surrounded by "freaks" like themselves. But what happened to these two after Elsa left for Hollywood and sold the show? Did they make it out alive or did Edward Mordrake come for them?

Question 13

James Patrick March

Did you know that the character James Patrick March (Evan Peters) was based on the real-life serial killer H.H Holmes? It was never confirmed but according to some historians the real Holmes may have buried his victim's bodies inside his own hotel in order to conceal his crimes. In AHS: Hotel, James March builds the Cortez because he wants a place where he can torture, kill, and hide his victims without attracting too much attention. But was he alive or was he a ghost?

Question 14

Detective John Lowe

After his son is kidnapped and his marriage falls apart John Lowe is a troubled man. He decides to check in the Hotel Cortez while working on a particularly grisly homicide but after moving in things just seem to get stranger. John feels a connection to the serial killer that he is hunting and the reason for that only becomes clear to him much later. There are two sides to John, one decent and caring and the other corrupt and blood-thirsty. What was his fate?

Question 15

Donovan

Donovan came to the Hotel Cortez to use drugs with Sally. He subsequently overdosed, much to the despair of his mother Iris, who followed him there and killed Sally by pushing her out of a window after learning what had happened. Luckily The Countess was on hand to save the day and after falling in love with Donovan's jawline she brought him back to life as a vampire. But even vampires can be killed - did Donovan survive the season?

Question 16

Sister Mary Eunice

Lily Rabe has played a host of memorable characters throughout AHS but one of her best roles has to be Sister Mary Eunice in Asylum. Her character starts out as a timid little nun but after she becomes possessed by the Devil, her personality changes entirely. She begins to act sadistically and those around her are shocked by her wholly out of character behavior. We see how she controls and corrupts everyone around her and it was terrifying to watch. What happened to her in the end?

Question 17

Leigh Emerson

Do you remember who Leigh Emerson was in AHS: Asylum? He was the mass murdering character played by Ian McShane who gets committed to Briarcliff after he kills 18 people from 5 different families and a sidewalk Santa. Christmas seems to set him off and he earns a year in solitary confinement after he attacks an orderly one Christmas at Briarcliff. He was also the reason that Sister Jude banned any further Christmas celebrations or decorations. What happened to him?

Question 18

Dandy Mott

Do you think that Dandy Mott was born evil? In Freak Show his mother, Gloria Mott, makes mention of the fact that the family has a history of mental illness, probably brought on inbreeding, so could that be the reason for his insanity? Or was he just too spoilt by his mother, to the point where he became completely self-obsessed? Whatever you believe one thing is for sure - Dandy was one of the most twisted characters of AHS. Is he dead or alive?

Question 19

Ma Petite

What made AHS: Freak Show one of the most exciting seasons ever was the incredible cast. There were characters based on real-life people, like Bette, Dot, and Jimmy, other's who were fictional and others who are real life human oddites - such as Ma Petite - played by Jyoti Amage. She was by far one of the sweetest and most innocent characters and played the role of Elsa's favorite. Do you remember what happened to little Ma Petite? Is she dead or alive?

Question 20

Desiree Dupree

When Desiree was born she had ambiguous genitalia and so she was mistaken for a boy. She spent the first part of her life being raised as a boy but when she hit puberty everything changed. She started growing breasts and not just two, but three. Despite her difficulties with her gender Desiree was blessed with endless self-confidence and as a performer in Elsa's freak show, she often wore tight dresses that showed off her unusual bosom. What happened to her?

Question 21

Fiona Goode

"Who's the baddest witch in town?" Well in AHS: Coven that honor would definitely have to go to Jessica Lange's character Fiona Goode. Fiona is the Supreme, having killed the former Supreme in her youth, but when we met her she is struggling with failing health and searching for the elusive fountain of youth. As the new Supreme grows stronger Fiona grows weaker and this pushes her to do all sorts of evil things. Did she manage to beat the clock or is she also dead?

Question 22

Hypodermic Sally

Sally McKenna may have seemed like a doomed character when we met up with her at the Hotel Cortez but there was a time when she had a lot going for her in life. Before her life dissolved away in a haze of drug abuse. According to her, she was making music with a famous artist in the 1980's but after he fired her from the project she lost her way and ended up as a prostitute, selling herself in order to fund her drug habit.

Question 23

Jimmy Darling

The character of Jimmy Darling (played by Evan Peters in Freak Show) was also modeled on a real-life freak show performer. They shared the same deformity, being born with their fingers fused together resembling lobster claws, but that's where the similarities ended. The real-life Lobster Boy was nothing like sweet Jimmy, he was a mean-tempered drunk who abused his family and even shot and killed his daughter's fiance the night before their wedding. In Freak Show, what became of Jimmy?

Question 24

Vivian Harmon

By the time Vivian Harmon arrived at the Murder House she had already been through quite a tough time. After finding out that he husband was having an affair with a much younger woman Vivian suffered a terrible miscarriage. Despite this she decided to give her husband a second chance and they decide to move to Los Angeles where they found a incredible home at a bargain price. She becomes pregnant again but she soon learns why Marcy was so keen to sell them the house.

Question 25

Madison Montgomery

Madison Montgomery came from a low income family so when he mother spotted her daughter's talent she took advantage of it for her own gain. Madison ended up becoming a well known teenage actress who liked to party. But after she killed her director by telepathically dropping a light on his head after he criticized her acting, she also found herself at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. We know she was brought back from the dead once but what is her current status?

Question 26

Zoe Benson

When Zoe's parents realized that their daughter had inhereted her grandmothers "curse" she is quickly informed about her true heritage and shipped off to Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies to learn how to manage her strange gifts. Zoe has the power to kill anyone she's involved in intercourse with, which means that it is hard for her to get close to people. Zoe is kind-hearted, we see this in the way she cares for Kyle, but what happens to her in the end ?

Question 27

Kit Walker

Kit Walker finds himself locked up in Briarcliff after he's suspected of being the Bloody Face serial killer. But Kit's problems started long before he wound up there. He was ostracized by his community for having a relationship with a colored woman and, even worse, he was having encounters with aliens. Thankfully he manages to survive the asylum and his name is cleared. In the last episode, we see him with his family but what happened to him in the end? Did he live or die?

Question 28

Paul "The Illustrated Seal"

Paul "The Illustrated Seal" was a minor character played by Mat Fraser in AHS: Freak Show. He was tired of people judging him because of his deformed limbs and in an act of rebellion he decided to tattoo his entire body. He winds up performing for the Freak Show as a drummer but he is also Madame Elsa's lover. After Elsa suspects him of cheating on her with Penny their entire relationship breaks down. What happened to Paul after Dandy took control of the show?

Question 29

Chester Creb

Chester Creb's magic tricks and ventriloquism are a thin veil that mask his true psychosis, After leaving his wife after she had an affair with the neighbour Chester goes on the road and finds his way to Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities where he is given the job of looking after the finances. He becomes the owner for while but his obsession with his ventriloquist doll Majorie eventually drives him insane and he stabs her before handing himself over to the police. What became of him?

Question 30

Legless Suzi

How did Legless Suzi land up at Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities? Well according to her backstory she was abandoned by her parents at the age of two because of her deformity and spent her childhood living on the streets as a beggar. She became inspired to join the freak show after watching another beggar do tap dancing, although she stabbed him in the leg out of jealousy and accidently killed him. Do you remember what happened to this character?

Question 31

Myrtle Snow

Myrtle Snow was the third character to be portrayed by Frances Conroy in American Horror Story. She plays Myrtle in the third installment of the show, an honest and somewhat quirky witch who finds herself at the head of the Witches Council. But her lifelong feud with Supreme witch Fiona Goode eventually leads to her being burned at the stake. Thankfully she was resurrected by Misty Day and managed to recover but that wasn't the end of her story. What was her fate in the end?

Question 32

Elsa Mars

Elsa Mars has a dark and sordid backstory. Originally from Germany Elsa got mixed up in prostitution which resulted in a terrible incident where she lost her legs. She escaped to America to start a new life and that's where she began her freak show. Elsa liked to collect human oddities and look after them because she was more like them than any of them knew. But she was tortured by her dreams of being a singing sensation. What happened to Elsa?

Question 33

Audrey Tindall

Not that much is known about the Roanoke character Audrey Tindall, played by Sarah Paulson. She was an English actress hired to play the part of Shelby Miller in My Roanoke Nightmare. Not only did the part bring her international success but she also fell in love with, and married her much younger co-star Rory Monahan. Audrey and Rory return to the Roanoke house for the follow-up show but do you remember what happened to her? Was she slain by Agnes or did she escape?

Question 34

Lana Winters

Lana Winters found herself locked up in Briarcliff even though she was not suffering from any mental illness. Sister Jude forced her lover to sign the committal papers for Lana, threatening to expose their homosexual relationship if she didn't, because Lana was asking too many uncomfortable questions about Briarcliff.
