10 American Horror Story Fates Worse Than Death

6. Madison's Afterlife

American Horror Story Madison
Fox

Madison Montgomery is, in many ways, the ultimate bitch from American Horror Story. She arrives in Coven, quickly establishing herself as one of the top tier witches at the Academy, before getting a comeuppance - several times - during the show's run. Her powers bring her to the notice of the Coven when she uses telekinesis to drop a camera on her director's head, killing him.

She is arrogant, sylish, bratty and at all times, she tries to be in control. Not even death seems to stop her, as she is first murdered by Fiona Goode. Her throat is slit as Fiona believes she is the next Supreme, rising to take away her powers. She is revived by Misty Day and Zoe Benson, supremely unhappy with what happened.

She begins to grow increasingly unhinged from this point, attempting next to use Kyle to torment Zoe. It is Kyle who sends her to her (somewhat) ultimate fate - he strangles her, killing her again - this time for longer.

Her hell, it is revealed, is to work in customer service for all eternity. It is here that she remains, despite a brief reprieve courtesy of Michael Langdon. Yet, even that is reversed. She will be folding sheets for quite some time to come, being screamed at by unhappy customers, forced to take it.
