One of the reasons why American Horror Story is such a successful franchise is because the show always keeps things fresh. They have a new storyline and characters to follow every season – and this includes their villains. In the world of AHS, a villain is usually a complex character; while they do evil deeds you can’t necessarily classify them as all bad because sometimes they have a softer side as well. The creators often like to show us how the “evil” character got to be that way, which can make us have conflicting feelings about their actions. And it’s these complex (and often blood-thirsty) characters that have kept us glued to our screens season after season.
While some AHS bad guys are all about blood, guts, and murder, others are quieter, more insidious types. You may not even recognize that they are the bad guy – until it’s too late! They hide in plain sight and use their charm, charisma, and smarts to make everyone believe that they are something else but meanwhile this façade hides their inner demons. So, if you fell asleep and woke up in the American Horror Story universe, which villain do you think you would be? Take this quiz and find out!
