15 Best American Horror Story Deaths
8. R.J. - Cult
This is the second entry on this list that proves what a heartless, sadistic, and straight up terrifying character Cult's Kai Anderson was. Even if you showed loyalty and obeyed every order without question, you still weren't safe from his wrath.
R.J., cameraman for Beverley Hope, signed up to Kai's cult when his colleague did, and from the moment he joined he was all in. He dressed up as a clown when asked, killed when told to kill, and asked no questions or showed no doubts or misgivings in the process.
However, Kai still saw R.J. as a weak link in the cult, and decided that he needed to go. Of course, this gave the organisation's ringleader the opportunity to test the loyalty of his other disciples, as he instructed them to all play a part in the murder of their colleague and friend.
Like Rosie and Mark, R.J.'s passing wasn't easy or painless, as the murderous clowns all took turns firing a nail from a nail gun into the character's skull. It was awfully tense and tough to watch, but in true American Horror Story style, fans couldn't take their eyes off it.
