Top 20 Most HORRIFIC American Horror Story Characters 

For more American Horror Story, check out our playlist!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c1o8Im5FqLQ.html Which “AHS” character do you think is the most horrific? Let us know in the comments.

Yeah some seasons aren’t as good as others. But one thing you can’t deny is this show gave us some iconic horror characters.

Let's be honest , the darker the role the brighter Sarah Paulson's talent shine.

I can't believe that Dr. Arden, a Nazi war criminal that was pure evil in human form, isn't in the top three. I found him far scarier and more unnerving than Dr. Thredson. James Cromwell knocked that performance out of the park! And the Addiction Demon!! That thing was terrifying!

I love anything played by Angela Bassett, Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates. Amazing talents.

I think Dandy Mott was more frightening than Twisty the Clown, maybe not in looks but, Twisty was misunderstood and thought he was helping. Dandy knew full well all about all the killing and torturing he was doing; not to help, just because he enjoyed it

Time stamps: Fiona Goode 0:56 The Piggy Man 2:17 Lana Winters 3:21 Harry Gardner 4:14 Papa Legba: 5:28 Mr. Jingles 6:43 Kai Anderson 7:40 Marie Laveau 8:45 Sister Mary Eunice 9:47 Madame Delphine Lalaurie 10:48 Margaret Booth 11:57 Constance Langdon 13:17 Michael Langdon 14:15 James Patrick March 15:20 The Countess: 16:25 Dandy Mott 17:31 Dr. Oliver Thredson (AKA Bloody Face) 18:28 Sister Jude 19:45 Tate Langdon 20:30 Twisty the Clown 21:33 You’re welcome! 😉

delphine lalaurie should have been top 3, the things she did were truly horrific. AHS just isn't the same without Jessica Lange. She truly made the show what it is, along with Paulson and Evans. I really wish she'd come back as a regular. The best part about Apocalypse was that she returned as Constance

I’m struggling to understand Lana Winters being on this list. What she went through was horrific and some of the things she did were questionable but she’s not a horrific character nor has she done horrific things. Especially compared to hundreds of characters on the show

The fact that madam Lalaurie was so much tame in the show than she was in real life is pretty terrifying

I honestly think that Evan Peters best role is James March and he doesn’t get enough credit for it as he does for Tate.

Seriously how can you guys forget about Dr. Arthur Arden (previously Hans Grüper?) And why the hell is Lana Winters on this list!

Cody Fern came into the show like a wrecking ball and straight up slayed that character. Love him.

Let's be honest here Alma Gardner deserves the number 1 spot. I have never been angry at a child like this before loljk.

How is the literal Antichrist not in top 3

How can you say Lana is one of the most “horrific” characters while commenting on the fact she never sacrificed her morality…. That’s like, the opposite of horrific?

The addiction demon from Hotel was the most horrific.

There were apparently crew members who didn't want to be around John Carroll Lynch when he had the Twisty mask on. I say fair enough.

Kai Anderson was one of the scariest because of how close it feels to real life.

Kai Anderson should be number 1, nothing is as scary as reality. "Knowing stuff has no value anymore. Not when the answer is in my back pocket or sitting on my desk. The youth has it figured out. The future will be filled with beautiful idiots who just want to feel." - Gives me the creeps every single time!

Expected Michael Langdon to be higher, but was also hoping Papa Legba would be too.

Her evil noted , I loved Kathy and Queenie dynamic. Especially the fast food drive thru lol.

Now that Red Tide is over, I’d 100% put Alma and/or Ursula on the list. They’re completely apathetic and only serve themselves.

I'm loving How some of these characters are based off of real people as well. Making it that much more terrifying

Papa Legba is the great communicator and keeper of the gate to the spirit world. He wears a straw hat and walks with a limp. The limp is because he walks in two worlds at once. Who we see on AHS is an amalgamation of Baron Samedi and a crossroad demon. Sorry, that's been bugging me.

WHERE the hell was Dr ARTHUR ARDEN! he should've been at the Top of the list!

I think Dr Arthur Arden was a complete monster and deserves a spot here. Sister Mary Eunace was posessed so it doesn't count.

I think that AHS has of the best cast in the entire tv shows history. Evan Peters is definitely my favourite. He is so universal actor.

Every season of American horror story that dealt with the coven was amazing. I liked almost every series they did but the coven was always the best!! 💯

The Langdon’s really have what you can call an evil gene. Love AHS

Just started watching American horror stories the spinoff. As soon as I finish that. I’m going to rewatch American horror story from the start

How ironic is it that a psychiatrist ends up being an insane killer?

Simple! Alma from DF Red Tide is the scariest. So cute, innocent, and terrifying. Francis Conroy is just as evil but coming from a child like just gives me the willies. Always loved AHS, but this season is the first to be scary. Even Lange with her amazing tremendous performances are not as creepy as that kid.

I absolutely hate Kai. He played that character so freaking well.

I’m so impressed with the rise of Leslie Grossman man. Margaret is her best character so far. And I’m so HAPPY Finn is finally in his leading role. I was hoping for that for a while.

I’ll be honest, I don’t like this show for a variety of reasons, however, this show’s strongest point is it’s actors and their performances.

Correction, Constance had 3 children inside murder house, Beaux, Tate, and Rose.

Oh god, I miss Jessica on this show so much!!! 😭 Do Top Jessica Lange's Performances next pleaseee!! I can't belive you still haven't done that list for her. The queen deserves it 👑💯

The nurse sisters from roanoke are extremely underated, they were some real psycho.

I love how the same actors bring new characters to life each season. No one holds a candle to Jessica Lange, though

Jessica Lange is the queen! I love to hate every character she plays 😭 I love the versatility of all the actors and the actresses that play these characters

A couple years back after watching AHS I went to New Orleans to take a midnight tour of the city. I found it a bit exciting that I saw the murder house of Delphine. One of the windows was bricked up and I think Nick Cage now owns the house. So crazy. I went to the graveyard but not inside because it was way too creepy.

Papa Legba is technically another crossroads being called Baron Samedi, that's where the mistake was made when that season was written.

My favorite one Nurse Ratched from the creators of AHS. Sarah Paulson really delivers.

Oh this reminds me I need to watch the new episode lol. I forgot the one character from Asylum who was a former Nazi was another villain that could be an honorable mentioned!

The gov. gathering everyone through 23 and Me for genetic variability survival after the nuke was the scariest part of the series. Wytb

Danny or dandy was the scariest just the fact that there are real people just as crazy as him he just feel so realistic finn should get more praise

Madame Lalaurie is the most terrifying to me because she has a real life counterpart who did horrific things to people who didn't deserve it at all. It's terrifying to me that there was a real life Evil Woman existed like her.

Does anyone else really like 1984?

I didn't rewatch freak until the last couple of days I have to say the Edward Mordrake ones are fantastic episode's, perhaps my favourites of the entire show

Evan Peters is my favorite part of AHS you know that no matter who he plays his performance will be amazing

tell me why dandy killed dora 😭

I love AHS

I feel like horrific is being used as if it's synonymous with troubled.. Lana had trauma and was a survivor. That doesn't make her horrific..? And a few others. Y'all still managed to forget a lot of actual scary characters like the mad doctor in murder house who revived his child with random body parts, the mad scientist in asylum who performed experiments on patients, and the mad museum owner who was killing the folks in freakshow.

Kai anderson is the scariest character ive even seen on TV. Scarier than Richie aprile, gus fring, ramsey snow, and marlo stanfield.

They kinda mixed Papa Legba and Baron Samedi together. Especially when it comes to appearance. Still very cool portrayal.

The only horrorific character I see is when I turn my screen off

For me Sister Mary Eunice is number one. The way Lily Rabe was able to switch so quickly was FANTASTIC and terrifying

Top 20 real events that inspire American horror story

Fiona was one of my favourite characters in Coven, I miss Jessica Lange on the show so much❤

The Joker: "I'm the best clown to ever exist!" Twisty the Clown: *"Hold my creepiness"*

I was honestly disappointed with the second half of 1984. The first half had promise, but the second ultimately fell flat. I also didn’t like how they portrayed the Night Stalker part of the story. It didn’t fit in well and was factually wrong in many ways. Kind of felt insulting to his victims.

Fiona is the most horrific! She knew every move she was going to make and had made without any remorse. She was plain evil, not mentally unstable, but evil. Lana is amazing, not a bad guy!

Number 7: This character to me isn't anything like Howard Hughes and definitely not Vincent Price (to be fair, no one matches up to Mr. Price). I see this character as purely a "What if Gomez Addams was H.H. Holmes?" Which goes to show how much fun can be had with theoretical questions.

I wanna see Lily Rabe on another villain role 🙏🏼

In other words, Asylum is the best season of all ❤️‍🔥

Madam Delphine!!! Words cannot describe how she terrified me.

twisty may look scary but he’s nothing compared to the cult leaders, serial killers, and general psychos in the show

How Madame Delphine isn't number 1 or at least in the top 10 is beyond me.

All 11 seasons of American Horror Story ranked. #11 Freak Show S4 #10 Roanoke S6 #9 Double Feature S10 #8 Hotel S5 #7 Cult S7 #6 NYC S11 #5 1984 S9 #4 Apocalypse S8 #3 Coven S3 #2 Asylum S2 #1 Murder House S1

How do you put Lana Winters and Harry Gardner in the list of the most HORRIFIC characters of AHS, but you do not put Stanley for example, the role Denis O'Hare played in Freak Show where he is was killing the freaks to sell parts of their bodies ?? And honestly, Dandy is more horrific than Twisty, no doubt about that, his mind is way more deranged than Twisty's...

15:08 cody's debut was actually in season 9 as xavier

0:06 that Guy looks So much like that villain from The Princess and the Frog(2009) from disney

Alma should be no.1 after last weeks episode. I have never seen an ahs carachter that evil ever. Yeah a lot them are actual serial killers and killed multiple people but Alma is diefferent, she didnt kill anyone, but eversince the first day she took the pill she wanted to get rid of her mother, when shes told that she has to always drink blood because she has to play always from now on she was completly okay with it, not even being regretful, and even laughed about how someone killed themselves because they couldnt play that violin song, she started to ate her newborn little brother, again withput remorse, than gaslit and manipulated her own mother to took the pill even tho she knew perfectly well that it will turn her mother into a pale creature. Worst part is not only she knew that will happen but she planned it. At least the other carachters have some form of kindeness or remourse even if its just a little bit, or are heavily traumatized, ot haunted or have any reason and thats why the way they are, but Alma, shes just evil to the core. Kinda the same as Margaret, but i do feel like margaret is just a tad bit better.

The most terrifying & horrific character ever is Delphine LaLaurie...no contest.

As a Haitian Vodou bokor they had Papa Legba portrayed as Baron Samdei and we don’t believe in Hell

I do enjoy how they showed if you use magic for Ego you will suffer for it. The loopholes in the forces of nature are best applied to healing. Whether your own or others. You can learn to channel the forces of nature. It’s why Baron Samedi likes it when your body is primed with alcohol and tobacco already. The one time I’ve encountered him he chuckled and said, “you must be tired my friend.” They’re all different skins for the same forces of nature ultimately. They will always present themselves to you in a way you will recognize. I ran into him when I was asking Khaos why Thanatos never comes for me.

Yo as soon as I saw Papa Legba's face appear on screen I instinctively moved my phone back a bit from my face cuz I thought he was going to jump out

Instead of Harry Gardner, I would have put her daughter of him and Doris (Alma). In the episode 10x05 I really hated that child for what she did to her mother.

Alma in DF-Red tide though.... at least top 5.

The audacity of you to not put Mary Eunice in the top 1… how dare you

I love the guy that played Papa Legba

And Dandy of coarse...they are all great now that I'm thinking. The better question is who is the worst ( or not that great)

(slight correction) #20 - Fiona Goode - The countdown says she was in Coven and Apocalypse, but was only in Coven.

Papa Legba seemed more like Baron Samedi rather than the actual myth

Kyle character was the most terrifying... he used the oldest tool ever " fear " ... plus manipulation... the everyday tool we see hear and feel everyday ... cult make me shivers more than the other seasons cause it's so close to our reality but we aren't aware of

Double Feature is definitely my favorite for a specific reason. Being born in Provincetown. So it has my heart. Definitely great to see my town be put to show 😭 in my favorite show

Papa Legba was iconic. Lance Reddick will always be missed❤

The portrayal of Kai honestly felt like the show was trying to push an agenda, and I absolutely hate when shows do that, no matter what side they're trying to make look good/bad.

Top 10 most surprising casts from American Horror Story Examples: Lady Gaga Brennan Mejia

Kai was scary bc he knew what he was doing and was fine with it. he was also fine with switching sides to help himself

I think If I saw the piggy man I'd be terrified as well because it's giving me flashbacks from that butcher in Courage the cowardly dog. that one was scary

13:33 There are three Langdon children in the House.

My favorite show of all time. Thanks for this top ❤️

As soon as that nurse collapsed in Murder House I said "What would you wanna bet 1 of them is the Anti-Christ?" (1 of them = Vivien Harmon's babies). & low & behold 7 seasons later, I called it!!!

Not personally sure how March landed a bit low on this list as I would easily put him on the 3 if not second. His casually about it all is what terrifying about it. Sure, Tate's mental (they are all) but at least they know it and sometimes so some restrain or some sort of realization to. March waltzs in and kills someone like it's breathing. But that's my personal opinion. I would be far more afraid of the person who cares less about their killings and seems (somewhat) normal and carefree. It's the ones that are clearly mental in some what your survival instincts kick in and you keep on your toes. March catches you off guard. How does that not scare anyone else?

Twisty was horrifying to look at, but not terrifying considering his backstory.

Lana is not a horrific character, why is she here?

Why isn't Richard Ramierez on here?! He terrified me, especially since the actor looked almost exactly like him 😭

Does anyone know the name (which I forgot) of an older movie that has the intro like this: The scene in the past in which the community punishes a witch by throwing her baby in a bonfire, she takes revenge by throwing a curse on the baby burning in the fire, becoming a monster that kills everyone on spot and focusing on a pregnant woman who runs away, catches her, kills her and remains a curse over the community killing any new baby or child that would be born or broght through the region.
