Every American Horror Story Ranked From Worst to Best

[@mjgerleman]

My problem with AHS is how they always start so well, but become nonsense with inconsistent character development and abbreviated subplots.

[@kix4trix]

Anyone can write a good first few episodes and make it seem interesting. The audience assumes its going to come together and tie everything together brilliantly. AHS is the worst written show on television, period.

[@ohjordyn8312]

Lol Roanoke is in my top three. I love that whole switch of tv show perspectives halfway through. I LOVE THE BUTCHER! more-so how Kathy Bates reality tv character is obsessed with being the butcher. I also really like the episode of freak show where Jessica Lange covers Lana's Gods and Monsters. Everybody gets mad at me when I rate asylum in the bottom three lol.

[@beatsventura8813]

I completely agree, the plot twists, the documentary style first half, Kathy Bates as the Butcher, how can you go wrong? I enjoyed it, in my top five. It definitely had some super creepy scenes too

[@HyphyJuice916]

Them switching up the show halfway through was absolutely a fantastic fucking idea. It was something new and to me the switch made me like it. I didn't really care for the reality type stuff in the beginning because I thought the whole show was going to be like that. Kathy Bates was absolutely fantastic as always

[@danielrubinstein896]

@@EJMoreno i disagree, this season talks a big game but didn't deliver anything new or good, very disappointing but not the worst

[@Ilovebrushingmyhorse]

i'm a relative apocolypse apologist and think it gets way too much hate, but ranking it above so many seasons including 3 out of 4 golden era seasons is crazy and my mouth dropped lol. i respect your opinion i just never thought people like that season so much including myself, i just think the writing is really messy and filled with plotholes and has bad fan service at times, and brought back so many characters and resolve so many things just reverse time in the end. it also felt hard to get in the story when combining season characters (example: madison montgomery interacting with and not recognizing constance langdon and violet) but i loved certain episodes and i still rather watch that season over certain fan favorites and think people hate on it way too much.

[@beatsventura8813]

I liked it as well, not in my fave five, but much better than some. I love AHS and I re-watched many seasons numerous times. Roanoke is in my top five and nobody seems to have enjoyed it.

roanoke has the most captivating and maybe the most promicing opening of a season for me personally. hotel was a pretty hard watch as a first time, but jumping right into roanoke after this was SO refreshing. Documentary vibes, actual american history and probably the scariest atmosphere. the saddest part of all that was the disrupt progression of things (especially ending) and, probably, the way it was treated by the viewer it was that close to become a great season

I liked Cult when it came out but loved it once I rewatched. It’s definitely in my top 5. Something about the on the pulse nature of the narrative works for me. I loved that the horror was steeped in realism.

[@bryanthomas4907]

I dont blame you for rating Apocalypse so high. There is a lot to love despite its problems. My biggest gripe is the forced relationship between ms meade and michael. They tried too hard to make him sympathetic where they couldve taken more time with themurderhouse crossover and the warlock school (which also could've used some recasting).

[@cisbetterthanyou6658]

I started to tune out half way through hotel; I didn’t watch any AMH for a couple years after that. I then jumped back and watched Roanoke/Cult/Apocalypse/1984.

It’s always so boring and lifeless too, which does not work for a main character. That aside, I love the hotel itself, the eras, the old Hollywood vibe, Liz Taylor and Mr March.

[@beatsventura8813]

The characters were the best, even better than Coven's. Hypodermic Sally,, the Countess, , Liz Taylor, Donovan and the other handsome sexy men. I enjoyed the plot , but I think they tried to do too much with it, some of the sub plots didn't go well.

Every connection between seasons we’ve seen: AHS universe 1) murder house season 1, Then Stories season 2 doll house ( will connect to coven through spawlding), Then coven season 3, (connects to stories season 2 episode doll house through spawlding) Then hotel season 5 (connects to murder house Gagas character visits the murder house and the realtor lady shows up and Billie dean the medium shows up, and to coven queenie shows up), then apocalypse season 8 (connects to murder house through the baby at the end of murder house that survived and they visit murder house, and to coven the witches show up, and to hotel they visit the hotel). Then stories season 1 rubber women part 1 and then rubber women part 2 (these 2 connect to murder house, these 2 episodes take place at the murder house, remember Mallory reset the timeline in apocalypse season meaning the witches never visited and bought the murder house and most of the apocalypse season never ended up happening). Then stories season 1 ba’al (doesn’t connect but I think fits in this universe in my opinion). Then stories season 2 bloody marry (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). Then stories season 3 bestie (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). Then stories season 3 tapeworm (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). AHS universe 2) Stories season 2 milkmaids (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion), Then freak show season 4, Then asylum season 2 (connects to freak show through pepper and doctor Arden is the one who cut elsas legs off), Then NYC season 11 (connects to asylum through shachath the angel of death), Then 1984 season 9 (connects to asylum, they show us an image of and mention the briarcliff manor asylum Margaret bought it and owns it), Then Roanoke season 6 (connects to freak show the historian lady explains that Edward Mott the original owner of the Roanoke house is related to dandy Mott crazy rich guy from freak show, and to asylum Lana winters shows up in the end), Then cult season 7 (connects to freak show through twisty the clown appearing to oz and oz has a twisty action figure and comic book, and to asylum in the last episode she mentions Lana winters). then stories season 1 naughty list (doesn’t connect but I think fits in this universe) then stories season 1 feral (doesn’t connect but I think fits in this universe). Then stories season 1 drive in (connects to freak show, we see in the directors RV a twisty the clown doll or something like that.. similar to the twisty toy and comic book In cult, I guess in this universe the story of twisty being a killer in Florida in freak show season became famous to make comic books and merchandise). Then double feature season 10 part 2 Death Valley (connected to asylum although there is no real confirmed connection to asylum directly i believe in the alien connection.. I think that the fact that woman got pinned to the ceiling in Death Valley the exact same way as kit did in asylum is supposed to be our confirmation connection.. in my opinion we are supposed to assume kit,alma,grace, and the kids from Asylum season were all part of the aliens early human reproductive experiments or genetic experiments.. I don’t think the kids are alien human hybrid babies.. I think they were 100% human babies.. kit got the women pregnant.. they were more or less just experiments with human reproduction and human pregnancy so the aliens can learn what’s going on scientifically with all that and what they can do with it to eventually create the perfect hybrid or perhaps some kind of genetics experiments seeing as the children did turn out to be extremely gifted, the timeline adds up for this because it would of been around the early stages of the aliens experiments, and also in Death Valley at one point Eisenhower asked “who is that?” and Thor said “he’s a respiratory experiment”.. so that proves they were doing different type of experiments on humans not only just impregnating them with hybrids). Then double feature season 10 part 1 red tide (no connections but feels like it belongs in this universe in my opinion). then stories season 2 aura (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion), Then stories season 2 drive (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion), Then stories season 2 facelift (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). Then stories season 2 necro (no connections but in my opinion fits in this universe), Then stories season 2 lake (no connections but fits in this universe in my opinion) Then delicate season 12(no connections but fits in this universe) Then stories season 3 Daphne (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). Then stories season 3 organ (doesn’t connect but fits better in this universe in my opinion). AHS universe 3) American horror stories season 1 game over (connects to both universes as in American horror story and stories is just a TV show in this universe.. the mom made a version of the video game based on the show, the son didn’t like it, it had characters from both universes… then she watched and studied the show, this actual happened not just in a game… then she made a second version of the video game and this is where the murder house burned down only in the video game based on AHS, the son liked it much better) and to be honest in Roanoke there is a connection to murder house season and the rubber women episodes (piggy man of Chicago world fair). And also there’s a small connection between freak show and hotel (Elsa made a commercial for a coffee brand and in hotel season we see a coffee container filled with Donovan’s ashes and it’s the same fictional coffee brand) but I ignore these 2 connections to keep the universes separate in order to explain the contradictions regarding the zodiac killer in hotel and cult and also the contradictions regarding the night stalker in hotel and 1984. 1. asylum season 2, extraordinary masterpiece. 2. cult season 7, extraordinary masterpiece. 3. Roanoke season 6, greatness 4. murder house season 1, greatness. 5. coven season 3, extremely very good. 6. hotel season 5, extremely very good. 7. freak show season 4, very good. 8. 1984 season 9, very good. 9. double feature red tide season 10 part 1, good. 10.

[@Fullmovieszz]

I have coven, hotel and 1984 as my top 3 they are always interchangeable depending on my mood. I think what I love about them so much is they have ready influences (specifically in hotel, I have always been obsessed with true crime so when devils night came on and I was seeing all these killers I had researched and watched documentaries and had an interest in I was so exited) but make them their own and change them to fit into this universe, and more importantly I think I love those seasons the most is because they are just so fun and entertaining. Rewatch ability is a big thing for me as well and I find that these seasons are the most re watchable. 1984 I love because I am obsessed with 80s slashers and gore and fun. Hotel I love because of the style and the vampires and lady gaga. And coven I love because well who doesn’t love some bitchy witches just being iconic. There are of course things I love about most of the seasons and much more I love about my top 3. But I think ahs is such a unique show that has something that everyone could enjoy or at least be entertained by and I will continue watching every new season no matter how bad that are and re watching my favs. Sorry for this really long winded comment I love talking about this show or any show or movie tbh probably the neurodivergent in me 😂

i currently watching s12 and it was okay. my top 3 would be asylum, 1984 and cult. and worst would be nyc. i cant remember the ending for nyc tho. did even i finished it? same goes with roanoke. perhaps maybe there's not much characters in that season.

[@EJMoreno]

1984 being in the top is awesome! Fun picks

[@Penelope9441]

1984 was a personal favorite, but im biased as an 80s chick. I agree there was something off about the season. The last two episodes were kind of a cluster, but my take away from watching it the second time was simple. There was too much cliche from 80s slasher films, while simultaneously not having enough physicality of a slasher film. The tropes were there, but the uneasiness and terror of the 80s slasher film was missing. Its like going to a reunion concert of the legendary band and the lead singer comes out, eats a burrito, and leaves. It was all there, but nothing happened.

I watched Hotel about three times from start to finish. I always felt like something was off about it and it took me until my third viewing to realize what it was.

My rank would be 1. Asylum 2. Coven 3. Freak Show 4. Hotel 5. Murder House 6/7. Cult and Roanoke depending on my mood they trade off 8. Apocalypse 9. Red Tide 10. 1984 Didn’t watch anymore after that, including the second half of season 10.

Here's my ranking 1. Coven 2. 1984 3. Hotel 4. Apocalypse 5. Freakshow 6. Murder house 7. Cult 8. Roanoke 9. Asylum I haven't watched the other seasons the last one i watched was 1984 because i heard the later seasons aren't good

[@sams9023]

I don’t agree with everything but ABSOLUTELY agree that hotel was #1 ♥️

[@carsyngatlin]

I was so excited for Cult because I was so excited for Evan Peters… it took me almost a year to watch it…

[@westcoastSal]

The best 1 (Asylum) -perfect season 2 (Hotel)----so many good characters, so many good stores, great performances and setting 3 (Roanoke)---Hands down the scariest goriest season. Very underrated People dismissed it because the reality show/ real life double characters aspect. 4 (Coven)----was almost a perfect season but finale ruined it #justice for misty watchable 5-(1984)---Cool 80's throwback, but too many loopholes in plot and the whole Ramirez thing was dumb 6-(Freakshow) Some great characters, But kathy bates accent was so bad it ruined every scene she was in, that you either laughed or had to skip till she was off the screen. Then that massacre at the freakshow was like ryan ran out of ideas and just did damage control to move the finale along just felt lazy. 7. (murder house)- Some great performances especially lange, Rabe, conroy and had some good stories. The black Dahlia one Is good. The Harmons were just annoying and the themes just made it more erotic than horror majority of the time. 8. (Apocalypse) - could have been really good. Good concept but bad execution. So many loopholes, inconsistencies in the AHS timelines, The same actor playing numerous roles with characters they play in their season like its so dumb to me. Plus The ending If they really wanted to stop michael They should have gone back in time to the Night he was conceived and stop all the killings from the beginning. The next ending The two smart kids have the antichrist. But By AHS logic ghost and human baby made the Antichrist. So again inconsistencies. But had some cool moments throughout the show Bringing misty back and Marie even though that was wasted. It's an ok show if you turn your brain off lol. 9.(Double feature)--red tide was good up until last 2 episodes, were so bad The finale was a joke especially the logic. A little girl kills a boy twice her size in a waiting room drags him though lobby down the stairs into the alley and outside. Nobody saw no cameras anywhere? Plus the red pill heightened your artistic gift not gave you super strength. Death valley was bonkers but mamie was awesome. The worst 10 cult----It was just so bad. Overkill of politics & Sarah Paulson screaming and crying got so annoying, so many bad episodes 11 Delicate---just terrible had like 1 good episode 12 NYC----I couldn't get past 3rd episode just did not like this at all

[@beatsventura8813]

We have the same top four, but in a different order. Roanoke was definitely the scariest, and the characters in Hotel and Coven were superb.

[@SQUID0NKEY]

NYC is probably my favorite season of AHS. But well... I'm a pansexual guy who lives near Berlin (a city that had one of the most famous gay scenes during the aids crisis). So I'm a bit biased. It was obviously a season made for someone like me, and that's fine. I think there is the appeal of AHS. All seasons are so different and also are made for different people. Freakshow was appealing for people with disabilities, Asylum delivered a relatable story for people dealing with mental health problems and also people who feel alienated from society, and seasons like Coven and Apocalypse are enpowering to women. Those are just examples, but I think that's the reason for the many different tastes when it comes to why everyone seems to have different favorites.

[@PhoenixRayne88]

My ranking is: 12: Roanoke, because I couldn't get into it with the back and forth between the show and past. Stick to the past and I would have liked it a lot more. 11: Delicate, it was basically Rosemary's Baby but not as good. 10: Double Feature, I loved Red Tide.. it's the only reason it is above Delicate. Plus Mickey is my second favorite character of all the seasons. 9: Cult, I didn't care for it but some of it was good. 8: Apocalypse, same as Cult. 7: 1984, love slashers and the Ramirez part made it seem.. realer.. lol 6: NYC, I love too many characters to put it lower. 5: Murder House, boring but the first one so gotta respect it. That baby though?! Terrifying! 4: Coven, great characters. Nothing really wrong with it. Just not a favorite. 3: Hotel, aside from the addiction demon I loved it! My favorite character of all the seasons is Liz Taylor. 2: Asylum, I have nothing bad to say tbh. 1: Freak Show, come on.. it's just the best. Everything. From the characters, the setting, the vengeance... love it.

[@maytale.7184]

Coven will always be the first spot for me! It was a great blend of horror and American stories 🤩 I do sometimes wonder if the show will ever get me invested in another season again, red tide was close until they cut it short and ruined the ending

[@biffmanly2867]

Hotel will always be my favorite, such a good season

Hey EJ 👋🏾. I truly enjoyed your ranking. Although I haven’t watched every season of AHS I’ll jot down my most favorite to least favorite seasons: 1. Coven 2. Asylum 3. Freak show 4. Hotel 5. Murder House 6. Apocalypse 7. 1984 8. Cult 9. Roanoke 10. Delicate

[@EJMoreno]

[@CandieP]

I don't completely agree with this list, but Hotel is hands down the best season.

[@rowlaanbennett7296]

Double feature takes me back to when I was in the hospital with Covid. I watched episode 3 and 4 there 😂.

[@Bilhelmina]

I think 1984 might actually be in my top 5. It might not be as iconic as the first era of AHS but it’s campy and fun and made me actually root for Matthew Morrison 😂

[@somethingclever8916]

Its easy to choose favorites and least favorites. Its the middle ranking that is tough

[@Thesparten45]

I didn't even know season 12 existed till I saw it pop up I immediately did some Googling and figured out I was very late the to the party Watched episode one, wasn't impressed or interested, looked up plot summary, still wasn't. Combined with the fact it's lower than Cult on this list, I think I'm safe skipping s12 as well.

I think Red Tide and Death Valley could have been fine if they were on their own and not crammed together. There wasn't enough episodes to make it good.. They should have been their own seperate seasons.

[@EJMoreno]

Red Tide on its own, even with the wonky last episode, would rank way higher than Death Valley

[@gabrielmedeiros1593]

Girl, cult and nyc deserved way better, reality hits strong and it really is a horror story

[@valdenay7264]

I cant agree, but I'm a story person, not actor person Coven is a terrible story and that is frustrating because it starts so well and falls apart halfway through and rushed in the end, literally being the first to start that trend that everyone complains about & you yourself pont out shifts AHS as a whole because thats why. Asylum & Freakshow are the *strongest* cohesive original stories, with great acting (for those that care) I dont have hate for Hotel, easily in my top 3 too lol

For me NYC is the worst season and Roanoke is the best. Asylum, 1984, Murder House, Hotel and Freak show are also great. Apocalypse and NYC are the worst. Sorry but I really like Double Feature, it's pretty fun. Red Tide is so amazing. That episode when Doris turned into a vampire is still one of my top 5 favorite episodes in the franchise. I like Death Valley. The aliens were all creepy and I enjoyed that it was filmed in black and white.nthe problem with Death Valley for me were the millennial storyline.😊

Roanoke is and always will be my favorite season! It had it all!! The third wall was broken which only made it more interesting. The deaths were on brand for each character. The plot was thick and the turns turned me😂 my number 1. I also loved cult.

Are you planning on doing videos on interview with the vampire tv series or movie the show is really great 🤔🦇🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️

[@beatsventura8813]

NYC, although many disliked it, it was ok, not the worst nor best. No, it wasn't as compelling as other seasons. The thing is, unlike some of the other series shows out, i still got excited about it, cuz AHS, hello. I anxiously awaited each new episode. However, i can't say the same for Delicate, which was complete crap and bored me to tears. It felt like a completely different universe than AHS , 😂 It had the energy of several AHS fans writing their own flawed script based on their interpretation of the series. It doesn't feel like Ryan Murphy/ Brad Falczuk writing, etc.

[@Triggrrr]

I loved hotel. And all the seasons before it. I thought murder house was tight. I rank it much higher

[@HyphyJuice916]

When Coven first aired, and it was the first season that I actually watched live, I was definitely disappointed. I just couldn't stand it for some reason. It came across as a teenage drama to me. Years later I decided to rewatch it after seeing people online talk about how good it is. It's now one of my favorite seasons. Also this is the first video I've ever seen of yours and I'm going to take your advice and rewatch Apocalypse. My only issue with that season was the way they when against Michael. I can't stand that you have these powerful witches going up against the Antichrist and the way they defeat him is via time, travel and letting kid Michael get ran over by a car. I felt like it was very anticlimactic. But I'm still going to give it a shot anyway. I already know I won't like the ending but hey everything been between might be good

[@carsyngatlin]

I also was hooked with Roanoke but maybe it’s because I am a reality TV gal, I rank it way higher on my list but it’s definitely gone down
