American Horror Story: 10 Worst Characters
1. Scathach
Roanoke is one the most divisive seasons American Horror Story, so it makes sense to see a character from this atonal mess of a season come out on top.
After bit part roles in the likes of Machete Kills and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, Lady Gaga really showed what she could do with The Countess in Season 5, the runaway star of American Horror Story: Hotel. And if any doubters remained, they’ve surely been dispatched with her powerhouse performance in A Star Is Born. However, Scathach is definitely the lowlight of her acting career.
Not only is the minor part such a disappointing follow up to The Countess, Scathach would have been a poor character in anyone’s hands. The difference between her ‘true’ version and the version fictionalised by My Roanoke Nightmare is possibly the most confusing in the whole show, and as such her arc is garbled, only there to complicate Matt & Shelby’s.
Lurking creepily in the background in early episodes provided an ominous presence, but because it didn’t go anywhere it felt all for nought. A forgettable role in a forgettable season.
