10 Creepy TV Characters You ACTUALLY Root For

10. Tate Langdon (American Horror Story)

From the second we meet him, it's made crystal clear that Tate Langdon is a deeply disturbed individual. He talks about a dream in which he commits a school shooting, (which he actually carries out), rapes Vivien Harmon - the mother of his love interest, Violet - and is generally quite unstable and unpredictable.

Oh, and he also likes to dress up in a black latex suit. Because why not.

But despite all of his horrible actions and his disturbing and crazed behaviour, there's something about him that actually makes you feel sorry for the guy. Throughout American Horror Story, there are strong hints that Tate is being influenced by The Murder House - as well as his troubled childhood, which included an absent father. His deranged personality was almost inflicted upon him because of these factors, making him a victim of circumstances outside his control.

Plus, since actor Evan Peters is mainly known for playing funny and relatable characters (like Quicksilver in the X-Men movies or Todd in Kick-Ass), some of that likeability also bleeds over into his performance as Tate... black latex suit, and all.
