From Rubber Man to Twisty the Clown, every season of AHS needs a 'big bad' - Season 5 offered this up in the form of the Addiction Demon, a real monster of the show. With its waxy complexion, and strap-on drill'do, the Addiction Demon haunts the mysterious Room 64. Seemingly with a connection to junkie Sally, the creature also appears around other characters like John Lowe in times of danger, complete with its metal penis extension.

What makes the Addiction Demon all the more horrifying is the fact that (unlike the show's other villains) the show has said so little about it. According to Evan Peters' James Patrick March, the Addiction Demon was created as a supernatural presence by Sally and the other junkies who used the Cortez as a place to shoot up. There is never any true backstory, and the Addiction Demon only appears up until penultimate episode - with no real farewell. One of the show's only paranormal entities, the Addiction Demon will send shivers down your spine!
