Every season of American Horror Story (so far), ranked from worst to best
By Lacy Baugher
American Horror Story: Asylum
American Horror Story’s second season is hands down the show’s best outing for many reasons. For one, it’s one of the scariest and most generally disturbing installments in the series’ history, blending supernatural scares with real-world horrors and plenty of human pathos on top.
Set in a mental institution in the 1950s, Asylum features everything from demon possession to alien body snatching, as well as some extremely frightening (and terrifying) social commentary. (Sarah Paulson’s character, Lana Winters, is forced to undergo treatment at Briarcliff because she is gay and several characters are the victims of unwanted experiments simply because they are classified as “mentally unwell.”)
Zachary Quinto’s Bloody Face is the most horrifying serial killer the show’s ever had, and Jessica Lange has never been better — even though this is somehow the season she didn’t win an Emmy for — as Sister Jude, a strict Catholic nun tortured by her own failings and taking them out on others. Dark, weird, and frightening on multiple levels, this is AHS at its absolute best.
