American Horror Story: Every Villain Ranked Worst To Best

26. Stanley (Freak Show)

Freak Show is often cited as one of AHS's weakest offerings, but it does have a lot going for it. Unfortunately, recurring bad guy Stanley is not one of of the season's strongest aspects.

A ruthless conman intent on killing the freaks and selling their body parts to a museum for some quick cash. He's responsible for the heartwrenching death of Ma Petite and strongman Dell Toledo's downfall, but outside of being incredibly cruel and allowing Denis O'Hare to grace audiences with his presence, there really wasn't much to him, and he's overshadowed by the season's far more effective antagonists.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
