Top 10 Best American Horror Story Characters
From misunderstood villains to courageous heroes, American Horror Story offers a complex tapestry of personalities, each one crafted with depth and emotion. They are characters who've frightened us, made us laugh, cry, and, most importantly, think.But what makes these characters so compelling? Is it their development throughout a season, their unforgettable lines, or perhaps their portrayal by some of the finest actors in the industry? Maybe it's all of those things combined. The show's creators have succeeded in building characters that feel real, even in the most unreal of circumstances.
He set Larry on fire, killed 15 people in a school shooting, killed Chad and Patrick, and even went as far as to sodomize Patrick, but you still feel for Tate. You can see the shred of humanity inside him and how much he loves Violet, and that is what makes him the greatest character.
The first season I ever watched was Freak Show, but after I finally watched Murder House, I can't stop seeing Evan Peters as Tate. Not Kit, not Jimmy, just Tate. Maybe it's because he was 23 and looked like a teenage Kurt Cobain (I mean, seriously, he looked a lot like Kurt Cobain). Phenomenal role. I fell in love with Tate despite all he did.
Lana survived torture at Briarcliff and all sorts of horrors from Bloody Face, aka Oliver Thredson. She escaped, wound up in Briarcliff again, was released, killed Oliver, and later had to kill her grown-up adopted son. She was also attacked by cannibals in season 6, and her best friend disappeared without a trace. Yet she came out on top and is totally awesome. She is tough, but she's no cookie.
Badass and one of the strongest characters in the show. Plus, you kinda feel sorry for her while she's in the asylum and going through horrible things like attempted straight conversion therapy, being trapped by Bloody Face, and enduring lots of whippings.
She is undoubtedly one of the best Jessica Lange and AHS characters. Although she starts as a stern nun with a dark past, she reveals herself to be a sophisticated, affectionate, caring, and charismatic woman with a broken heart. Her unique, interesting, and mysterious backstory is excellently written, and more facts about this marvelous character should be revealed!
She deserves much better and to be loved, regardless of her assumed murder of Missy Stone. Seeing her 15-16 years after the accident as a grown young woman, barely recognizable to Jude, was heartbreaking, especially when Missy returned home with a few broken bones after the incident.
How could anyone not love her as a character?
She tried to kill Misty Day, and she didn't revive Zoe. She also tried to kill Kyle.
Madison is hilarious. I loved her.
She has an odd mindset, showing she's been through a lot. I mean, if Tate Langdon can love her, something must be quite intriguing about her.
She is the most relatable and amazing character. She deserves to be in the top 3.
Her storyline will forever be beautiful yet haunting.
The role itself is amazing, and Lady Gaga just took it to another level. By far, one of the best AHS characters.
Played by Lady Gaga? Too good to be true.
The Newcomers
She was so nice. I'm glad she actually had a good fate, ending up in heaven and not trapped in a house with evil spirits.
I feel so bad for him. All he wanted was to make children happy, and that was ruined for him. He was such a sweet guy, and although he murdered people, in the long run, he just wanted to make others happy.
Her beatdown of Madison was the most satisfying part of the season, as was all of Delphine's torture.
I love her bohemian vibe, and she deserved to live.
She is the best hobo. Is that mean? Whoops!
He's evil and humorous at the same time! Another awesome character played by Evan Peters.
Evan Peters has a lot of talent! He goes from playing the evil Tate to Kit Walker, who you're rooting for the entire season of Asylum! Asylum is the best season, but I don't get why people hate Hotel. It was better than Coven and Freak Show!
People hate Hotel because Jessica Lange isn't in it, but while I miss her a lot on the show, I still like Hotel.
So sweet and genuinely tried to do what was best for others.
I love Pepper. She is the most lovable character, and I wish there was a show all about Pepper.
Did she think Sister Jude looked like Elsa and Kit looked like Jimmy?
