Are you the ultimate American Horror Story fan? Have you watched every episode of every season? Do you know each and every character and their back stories? Well, you're going to need all that knowledge to score 35/35 on this quiz! It all started with a creepy house with a twisted history and from there we were hooked. Next, we went to the asylum for some very special treatment and after that, we traveled to a school for girls with magical abilities. By the time season four rolled around we were lining up for tickets for the strangest show in town and in season five we checked into a hotel for some much-needed rest, although with all the ghosts and vampires around the place we didn't dare close our eyes for a second. Without showing any signs of slowing down the creators gave us an action packed season five set in the mysterious backdrop of Roanoke Island and now we're all sitting and waiting in anticipation to see what season 7 will offer. American Horror Story is unique because the show creates a new world for us each time and we just can't get enough. If you are the biggest AHS fan it's time to prove it with this quiz!
During which season did Emma Roberts join AHS?
The lovely Emma Roberts has fast become one of the show's favorite players and we can't wait to see what role she is going to play in the season seven!

Before Sister Jude became a nun what did she do?
In AHS: Asylum the creators of the show took us behind the scenes at a mental hospital called Briarcliff. The person in charge of the day to day operations of the asylum was a fearsome nun called Sister Jude who believed in strict punishments for anyone who dared to break the rules. But as the season progressed this character (played by Jessica Lange) suffered a major fall from grace and ended up as an inmate at the hospital. But what did she do before she became a nun?
How did Violet Harmon die in AHS: Murder House?
Taissa Farmiga (sister of Vera Farmiga from Bates Motel) said that she was quite sad when she learned that her character in AHS: Murder House, Violet Harmon, dies towards the end of the season. Although she need not have been too concerned as she was later offered a leading role in AHS: Coven. Taissa is one of the most popular actresses on the show and we hope to see more of her in the future. But how did her character die in the very first season?
Who was always cleaning up the mess in AHS: Hotel?
Every hotel needs someone to clean up the messes but in AHS: Hotel that responsibility seemed to fall on the shoulders of just one woman. She had a lot more to deal with than most hotel maids, not only because she was actually a ghost, but also because her boss, and not so secret crush, was a serial killer who liked things to get as bloody as possible. But if there was ever a woman who knew how to clean a sheet it was this lady.
Where was AHS: Murder House set?
The house from the first season of American Horror Story was gorgeous in a creepy kind of way but its beauty hid its dark history. Before it was home to the Harmons the house had been the residence of a notorious doctor who used the basement to perform illegal abortions and horrific medical experiments. It was a place better suited to ghosts than to those still in the land of the living. Which city was American Horror Story: Murder House set in?
In AHS: Freak Show how did Elsa Mars lose her leg?
Poor old Elsa Mars, we didn't know whether to love her or hate her. Elsa was the owner of the Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities in S4, one of the last remaining traveling freak shows and she collected interesting people the way other people might collect baseball cards. But Elsa had aspirations that extended beyond dusty circus tents; she wanted fame more than anything else and was prepared to do just about anything to get it - even if it meant leaving her "family" behind.
What was the name of the hotel in S5?

Lily Rabe is an AHS regular and firm fan favorite. She first appeared as Nora Montgomery in season one where she played the tortured wife of an insane doctor.

In season five she portrayed the real-life female serial killer Aileen Wuornos and in season six she played the long-suffering Shelby Miller. But who was she in the third season; Coven?
What "style" did AHS use for the first time in S6?
The creators of American Horror Story do enjoy drawing on real-life events and myths to create their worlds. In season three they referenced the real life socialite serial killer Delphine LaLaurie and in season four they used serial killer H.H Holmes as inspiration for a leading character. For season six they used the legend of Roanoke Island where a colony mysteriously disappeared in 1587. To this day no one really knows what happened to them so it was a great choice for the show. What filming style did we see for the first time in AHS in Roanoke?
What was the name of Kathy Bates' character in AHS: Hotel?
One of the biggest disappointments for season 7 of American Horror Story was the news that Kathy Bates would not be part of the cast. Apparently, the AHS veteran was not able to take part in AHS: Cult because she already had a prior commitment to her new show Disjointed. She's played a number of interesting characters on the show; everything from a serial killer socialite, to a bearded lady, and even a deranged colonists wife. But what was the name of her character in AHS: Hotel?
What was the name of the killer clown in AHS: Freak Show?
This clown was definitely one of the scariest characters to come out of the world of American Horror Story but he caused plenty of controversies as well. The National Clown Association of America slammed the show for incorrectly portraying clowns and contributing to their poor public reputation. The actor who portrayed this particular clown even issued an apology but added that people were afraid of clowns long before AHS created this character. We couldn't agree more! What was the name of this terrifying clown?
What was the name of the serial killer in S2?
The creators of American Horror Story certainly pulled out all the stops when it came to their second season. This season, aptly named Asylum, took us behind the scenes of a fictional mental hospital named Briarcliff and gave us a whole new set of characters to love and hate. The asylum was run by a drunken nun and who better to pull off that role than Jessica Lange. But there was also a serial killer lurking around looking for victims - what did they call him?
What was the name of the realtor from S1?
She really was the estate agent from hell wasn't she? If only she had been a little more upfront with the Harmons in S1 they might never have moved into the notorious murder house. Sure she told them that the previous owners had died in the house but she neglected to mention that almost no-one had ever left the house alive. This same realtor played a minor role in Hotel where she was one of the guests who ended up being killed after checking into the hotel.
What character did Frances Conroy play in S3: Coven?

Which serial killer did Lily Rabe portray in AHS: Hotel?
One of the best scenes in AHS: Hotel involved a very special (but equally) creepy dinner party held on Devil's Night. To get into the party you needed a special invite from the hotel's previous owner but that wasn't all. He only invited serial killers and they were all ghosts. In the AHS universe, a ghost can only move around on Devil's Night, so this was how they were able to come together for this night of festivities once a year.
