American Horror Story: Every Villain Ranked Worst To Best
American Horror Story's greatest evils...
American Horror Story, which aired its first season, Murder House, in 2011, has been home to an abundance of fantastic characters, from the fiercely determined Lana Winters to the selfless witch Cordelia Goode, and the complex Elsa Mars to the innocent Kit Walker.
But no characters get audiences' hearts pumping more than the show's various villains. American Horror Story has been home to serial killers, torturous doctors, murderous ghosts, the Devil and more, and these villains are always front and centre guiding the story forward and giving fans the show's biggest twists and scares.
With its tenth season (titled Double Feature) set to air in the near future, now seems like a good time to remember the numerous antagonists who have graced the show over the years.
From conmen to clowns, witches to socialites, murderers to magicians and demons to the Antichrist, here is every American Horror Story villain ranked from worst to best. This article contains major spoilers, so look away now if you're still playing catch-up.
27. Wilhemina Venable (Apocalypse)
As the dictatorial leader of Outpost 3, Wilhemina Venable was a manipulative villain who thrived on making the apocalypse's survivors bow to her every rule and restriction.
Played with glee by AHS mainstay Sarah Paulson - who's clearly having a blast playing someone with little to no moral compass - Venable was a formidable threat during Apocalypse's first handful of episodes, before she was swiftly killed off as one of the season's biggest wastes of potential.
